Title: ESTIMATION OR PROCRASTINATION?: OR THE ART AND SCIENCE OF THE CAPITAL COST ESTIMATOR.
Authors: Liddle, C. J.1
Source: Engineering & Process Economics. May78, Vol. 3 Issue 3, p165-173. 9p.
Subjects: Capital costs, Procrastination, Time management, Capital investments, Equipment financing, Depreciation allowances
Abstract: This paper centres on the theme of the art and science of capital cost estimation; whether and to what extent it is procrastinative or sophistic; its theoretical basis and whether this stands the test of practicality; whether, indeed, it is possible or wise to be completely consistent. In presenting a somewhat distorted view of some of these aspects of estimation, it is the author's hope that more serious questions may be raised in the minds of the audience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
