FINANCIAL MODELING


Financial Modeling & Justification

1. Situation:
  • A Solvent Extraction Processor asked UTI to design a new Solvent Extraction Facility.
  • UTI suggested a preliminary engineering plan to more clearly define the following:
  • Throughput in production capacity
  • Manufacturing space and warehousing requirements
  • Available state and federal grants
  • Number of Employees
  • Total Installed Cost (TIC) to within +/- 10%
UTI assembled a complete engineering and financial justification given the client's existing market share and total sales, along with projected sales.




3. Cost for Model Development:
  • $100 million for the development of a TIC to +/- 10 percent with 5% of the engineering completed and all the financials.

4. Client Benefits:
  • After review of the cost and ROIs, UTI recommended that the owner upgrade his existing facility and not expend capital for a new solvent extraction system.
  • The owner saved approximately $10 million in capital that was determined to have an ROI of about 9%, versus a 35% ROI for upgrades to existing facility and processes.
