The specific objectives aimed to scale a generator group able of supplying, by anaerobic digestion, all the production of methane gas generated by biodigesters, currently installed in pig farming and turn it into electricity. The work was based on data collected in Ponta Verde s Pig Farming, located on the TETEI s farm, in the municipality of Goianápolis Goiás. The research was characterized as qualitative as it is mitigation of environmental damage, although supported by costs data. The data collection was established by direct observation and interviews with technicians and veterinarians of pig farming. It was done a quantitative research of animals in their various stages of maturation, calculating waste produced and the amount of gas generated by him. Also the costs of investments able to use all the biogas generated and the economic and financial evaluation of the project. The cost comparison between the use of new energy with conventional, shows that the new energy, will allow the swine producer a substantial economic gain, causing the pig farming is not susceptible to the vagaries of external energy, creating a better safety and guarantee in production. / O presente trabalho teve por finalidade desenvolver um estudo da viabilidade econômica do uso do biogás extraído dos dejetos da suinocultura como fonte de energia elétrica renovável. Os objetivos específicos visaram dimensionar um grupo gerador capaz de suprir, através da digestão anaeróbia, toda a produção do gás metano gerado pelos biodigestores, instalados na suinocultura e transformá-lo em energia elétrica. O trabalho teve como base dados coletados na Suinocultura Ponta Verde, localizada na fazenda TETEI, município de Goianápolis Goiás. A pesquisa foi caracterizada como qualitativa por tratar-se de mitigação de danos ambientais, embora apoiada em dados de custos. A coleta de dados foi estabelecida por observação direta no local e entrevistas com técnicos e veterinários da suinocultura. Foi realizado o levantamento do quantitativo de animais em suas diversas fases de maturação, do cálculo de dejetos produzidos e da quantidade de gás gerado por ele, além dos custos com investimentos capazes de utilizar todo o biogás gerado e a avaliação econômico-financeira do projeto. A comparação de custos entre a utilização da nova energia com a convencional mostra que esta possibilitará ao suinocultor um ganho econômico substancial, fazendo com que a suinocultura não seja suscetível às incertezas de energia externa, possibilitando segurança e garantia na produção.

Este documento presenta un trabajo de investigación que tiene como objetivo determinar la viabilidad de un proyecto de expansión para el centro de entretenimiento Magic Zone, el cual ofrece juegos y talleres artísticos para niños menores a 6 años. Magic Zone brinda un servicio de entretenimiento y de actividades artísticas para niños menores a 6 años con juegos y talleres atractivos para el infante, y que cumple con las siguientes características: ubicado en un lugar estratégico, políticas de seguridad claramente establecidas para el cuidado de los menores, horarios acordes a la necesidad del cliente (apoderado), y profesional calificado tanto para el diseño frecuente del espacio con juegos en zonas de recreación como para el diseño de talleres. Estas dos últimas características solo las tienen negocios como centros de estimulación temprana, guarderías y nidos. Sin embargo, Magic Zone ha apostado por considerarlas a fin de lograr captar la atención de los niños y potenciar su deseo de realizar actividades de motricidad y creatividad. Actualmente, Magic Zone está ubicado en el distrito de Los Olivos, en un local con un layout distribuido solo en el primer piso y área geográfica construida de 120 m2, ubicado estratégicamente en la Av. Antúnez de Mayolo 1474 cerca a centros de educación inicial y condominios con familias que tienen hijos pequeños. La experiencia adquirida de Magic Zone en su primer año de operación, nos motivó a evaluar una propuesta de negocio para el crecimiento de nuevos centros de entretenimiento, con las mismas características de su primer local, en otros distritos de Lima Metropolitana, los cuales tienen mayor población de niños en el rango de 0 a 6 años (público objetivo) como son San Juan de Lurigancho, Ate, San Martín de Porres, Villa El Salvador y Comas, Se ha evaluado el mercado objetivo, los resultados del sondeo y el análisis financiero de los 5 distritos con mayor población, y se concluye que es conveniente desarrollar la expansión del centro de entretenimiento de Magic Zone solo en 4 distritos: San Juan de Lurigancho, Ate, Villa El Salvador y Comas, por tener mayor poder adquisitivo e indicadores financieros viables. No optamos por abrir un local en el distrito de San Martín de Porres porque la encuesta determinó que los clientes potenciales no estaban dispuestos a pagar el valor actual del servicio. Asimismo, podemos determinar a través de la evaluación financiera realizada para cada distrito que en el en distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho obtuvimos el mayor VAN con S/. 54,929.25 soles, que respalda la viabilidad de la propuesta de extender la empresa en este distrito y con un TIR de 73.66%. En el caso del distrito de Ate, los resultados que respaldan la viabilidad del proyecto son de S/. 54,274.38 para el VAN y 71.81% para el TIR. Por otro lado, en el distrito de Comas y Villa el Salvador, se obtuvo un VAN de S/. 52,964.63 y S/. 53,619.51 respectivamente y un TIR de 68.30% en Comas y un 70.02% en el distrito de Villa el Salvador. En conclusión, por el proyecto global obtenemos un VAN y TIR de S/ 215,787.77 y 70.91%, este resultado positivo del VAN demuestra que el proyecto de expansión propuesto para Magic Zone, es viable y sostenible financieramente. / This document presents a project for the expansion of an entertainment center for children up to 6 years old, which is currently operating in Los Olivos district, in Lima, Peru. An entertainment center is a business model that provides recreation, entertainment, and hobby services for children. The service includes a space with a wide variety of games for motor activities.
