Abstract
Abstract Indonesia is a net salt importer with plans to eliminate salt import dependency through the industry’s development and collaboration with higher education institutions. Considering net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), benefit–cost ratio (B/C ratio), and return on investment (ROI), this case study analyzes the economic feasibility of developing a mini salt production plant. All the economic indices suggest that the project is feasible, specifically NPV, IRR, net B/C ratio, and ROI are IDR 5.3 billion, 42.83%, 1.61, and 395% respectively over 10 years. Thus, the project is economically feasible and can help eliminate import dependency and the higher educational institution’s outstanding contribution.

期刊介绍:
The Engineering Economist is a refereed journal published jointly by the Engineering Economy Division of the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) and the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE). The journal publishes articles, case studies, surveys, and book and software reviews that represent original research, current practice, and teaching involving problems of capital investment.
The journal seeks submissions in a number of areas, including, but not limited to: capital investment analysis, financial risk management, cost estimation and accounting, cost of capital, design economics, economic decision analysis, engineering economy education, research and development, and the analysis of public policy when it is relevant to the economic investment decisions made by engineers and technology managers.
