I am a member of the Plant Cost Calculator team. This semester I reviewed and verified relevant plant cost data. I consolidated the relevant cost data into a more readable excel document. With this relevant cost data I created various cost formulas that are being used in the plant cost calculator, which provides the user with accurate capital and operational cost estimates. I identified user inputs that that would provide a feasible, yet accurate, plant cost estimate. I also wrote code that accesses current currency conversion rates to provide a more accurate plant cost estimate to the user.
