TL;DR: In this article, a 0-1 programming model is presented to facilitate the analysis of discounted cash-flow for capacity expansion decisions for Owens-Corning fiberglass plants and two actual implementations for fiberglass are discussed.
Abstract: The net present value criterion of discounted cash-flow analysis is the appropriate method for ranking the options in many capacity expansion decisions. This paper presents and discusses a 0-1 programming model that facilitates this type of analysis. Two actual implementations for Owens-Corning Fiberglas are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the recreational benefits of a soil erosion control project in the northern watershed of Lake Chicot, Arkansas using a discount rate of 7-3/8 percent.
Abstract: A unique environmental situation made it possible to estimate the recreational benefits of a soil erosion control project in the northern watershed of Lake Chicot, Arkansas. Using a discount rate of 7–3/8 percent, the estimated present value of benefits for the project over a 50-year period is $67.7 million. Compared with the estimated present value of costs over the same period, $600,000, it is clear, at least from an efficiency standpoint, that the proposed soil erosion control project is overwhelmingly justified.
