  • Economic Analysis of the Use of Twinkies® for Insulation
    DISCLAIMER Note that this sample report is only to be used for the purposes of constructing a properly formatted, researched and written economic analysis report for the ENGT-3600 course requirement. Any claims regarding Twinkies® or their physical properties is purely fictional. Economic Analysis of the Use of Twinkies® For Insulation By N. V. Kissoff October 27, 2014 1.0 Executive Summary An analysis was performed to determine if shelf life expired Twinkies® could be a cost effective and efficient material to be used as building ceiling insulation. After the collapse of the Hostess brand parent company in 2012, warehouses full of Twinkies® went unused and remained past their recommended freshness shelf life. This report details the investigation of the possibility of these leftover snack cakes use as an economically feasible insulating material. The owner of several warehouses full of expired Twinkies® has been offering the surplus for sale at a price of $35/ 100# to recoup the investment. Research for alternative uses of the snack cake found that they possessed excellent properties of insulation. Stacking the product in a single layer was found to produce an R-40 insulation value. The use of such a Twinkie® insulation system could result in an associated savings in energy over a 1000 ft2 ceiling of $29.66 annually. When analyzing the costs and benefits compared to 6.5’ of R-19 fiberglass batt insulation, the following results were obtained. Present Worth of Costs Analysis PW (Costs) Fiberglass = $1372.63 PW (Costs) Twinkies® = $1473.02 Payback Period 12.8 Years to recover the investment of a Twinkie® insulation system over a fiberglass system.
