<br /> <br />report arrays important information from:each of these studies. !t <br /> <br /> <br />presents a brief summary of cost .allocation and the findings of <br /> <br /> <br />such study in terms of required repayment periods. <br /> <br />Factors and Trends Affecting Financial Feasibility <br />To be financially feasible a project must be able to repay reimbursable <br />costs in accordance with a prescribed criterion. Feasibility depends <br />upon the interaction of four important variables as follows: <br />(1) Investment to be retur~ed <br />(2) Period of time for retl.\rn of the investment <br />(3) Interest rates <br />(4) Revenues available for repayment of reimbursable cost <br />Each of the above variables may lie influenced, in turn, by numerous <br />factors; for example, the investment to be returned in connection <br />with the Missouri River Basin Project is determined by the construction <br />cost of the various facilities, the manner in which this cost is <br /> <br />allocated to water resource purp~ses, and the laws and regulations <br /> <br />governing the reimbursability of !costs allocated to the various <br /> <br />purposes. <br /> <br />Those factors which lend themselves to presentation in tabular form <br /> <br />are also set forth on Table 1 foi ready comparison of their influence <br />on feasibility. <br />Cost allocation procedure--As indicated on Table 1, the cost <br />allocations in the March 1960 rep9rt establishing power rates were <br />determined by the average of the "Alternative Justifiable Expenditure <br /> <br />8 <br />
