[docs]def annuity(capex, n, wacc, u=None, cost_decrease=0):
"""Calculates the annuity of an initial investment 'capex', considering the
cost of capital 'wacc' during a project horizon 'n'
In case of a single initial investment, the employed formula reads:
.. math::
annuity = capex \cdot \frac{(wacc \cdot (1+wacc)^n)}
{((1 + wacc)^n - 1)}
In case of repeated investments (due to replacements) at fixed intervals
'u', the formula yields:
.. math::
annuity = capex \cdot \frac{(wacc \cdot (1+wacc)^n)}
{((1 + wacc)^n - 1)} \cdot \left(
\frac{1 - \left( \frac{(1-cost\_decrease)}
{(1+wacc)} \right)^n}
{1 - \left( \frac{(1-cost\_decrease)}{(1+wacc)}
\right)^u} \right)
Parameters
----------
capex : float
Capital expenditure for first investment. Net Present Value (NPV) or
Net Present Cost (NPC) of investment
n : int
Horizon of the analysis, or number of years the annuity wants to be
obtained for (n>=1)
wacc : float
Weighted average cost of capital (0<wacc<1)
u : int
Lifetime of the investigated investment. Might be smaller than the
analysis horizon, 'n', meaning it will have to be replaced.
Takes value 'n' if not specified otherwise (u>=1)
cost_decrease : float
Annual rate of cost decrease (due to, e.g., price experience curve).
This only influences the result for investments corresponding to
replacements, whenever u<n.
Takes value 0, if not specified otherwise (0<cost_decrease<1)
Returns
-------
float
annuity
