## Description

This MCP server provides specialized financial modeling tools for landowners to assess renewable energy lease offers. Using a discounted cash flow model, it calculates the present value of lease payments and compares them against the opportunity cost of alternative land uses like agriculture or grazing. It also accounts for critical factors such as decommissioning costs, property tax increases, and production impacts to determine the true net benefit of a lease agreement.

## Tools

### analyze_lease_value
Calculate PV of lease payments

### calculate_opportunity_cost
Calculate PV of lost income

### evaluate_net_benefit
Compare lease value to costs

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the present value of a 20-year lease on 100 acres with a $500 per acre annual payment, a 2% escalation rate, and a 5% discount rate.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total present value of the lease payments is $745,234.50.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the net benefit of a lease with a $500,000 present value if the opportunity cost of farming is $300,000 and decommissioning costs are $50,000?
```

**Response:** 
```
The net benefit is $150,000, and the lease is considered viable.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the opportunity cost for 50 acres over 15 years where the alternative annual value is $200 per acre with a 1% escalation and 4% discount rate.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total present value of the lost opportunity cost is $128,450.25.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool calculate the lease value?**
The `analyze_lease_value` tool uses a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of all future lease payments, accounting for annual escalation rates and the discount rate.

**Can I compare the lease to my current farming income?**
Yes. You can use `calculate_opportunity_cost` to determine the present value of the income you would lose by not using the land for its current purpose, then use `evaluate_net_benefit` to see if the lease is profitable.

**Does this account for decommissioning costs?**
Yes, the `evaluate_net_benefit` tool allows you to include decommissioning costs to ensure the final net benefit reflects the true cost of removing infrastructure at the end of the term.
