Sheet of: Total Capital Investment
Eng. Reda Zein
Total capital investment (TCI)

 TCI is the money utilized in a project to make a profit.
 TCI =Fixed capital investment (FCI) + Working capital
investment (WCI).
 FCI is the sum of money paid to build up a plant and make
ready for start up.
 WCI is the additional sum of money required to start and
operate the plant to the point when income is earned (1-3
months).
Working Capital Investment (WCI)

- Coulson method:
WCI=5-30% FCI Typically 15%FCI
- Beters method:
WCI=15-20%TCI Typically 15%TCI
Fixed Capital Investment (WCI)

- Coulson method: Works with factors
FCI=Physical plant cost (PPC) + In direct plant cost
(IPC)
IPC=Design and Engineering + Contractor’s fee
+Contingency
Fixed Capital Investment (WCI)

- Beters method: Works with percentages
FCI=Direct plant cost (DPC) + (IPC) + Contractor’s
fee +Contingency.
IPC=Design and Engineering only


1) Prepare a study estimate of the fixed
capital investment for a process plant
handling fluids with a high degree of
automatic
controls
knowing
that
purchased equipment cost is $ 100,000
(Ans.=$ 500,250)
the
3) The total capital investment for a chemical
plant is $ 1 million and the working is
$100,000. If the plant can produce an a
average of 8000 kg of final product per day
during a 365-day year, what selling price in
dollars per kg of product would be necessary
to give a turn over ratio of 1?
𝑇𝑢𝑟𝑛 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜 =
𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠 (𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙)
(Ans. =$ 0.3082/kg)

4) The purchased equipment cost for a plant which produces
pentaerythritol (solid-fluid processing plant) is $ 300,000. The
plant is to be an addition to an existing plant. The contractor’s
fee will be 7% of the direct plant cost. All other values are close
to the average values found for typical chemical plants. On the
basis of this information, estimate the following:
(a) The total direct plant cost.
(b) The fixed capital investment.
(c) The total capital investment.
(Ans.:a)$657,000, b)$ 1,007,181 c) $1,184,919)
