Engineering economy define as a collection of Mathematical
techniques which simplify the economic comparison to support
making decision for selecting the best alternative.
Engineering economy involves formulating, estimating, and
evaluating the expected economic outcomes of alternatives
designed to accomplish a defined purpose.
Define as stand alone solution for a given situation this
mean that are several ways of accomplishing a given task.
Some parameters include:
equipment first cost,
expected life,
salvage value (estimated trade-in, resale,or market value),
and annual operating cost (AOC), which can also be
termed maintenance and operating (M&O) cost, and
subcontract cost for specific services. If changes in
income (revenue) may occur, this parameter must be
estimated.
All cash flows are estimated for each alternative.
When cash flow estimates for specific parameters are expected
to vary significantly from a point estimate made now,
risk and sensitivity analyses are needed to improve the chances
of selecting the best alternative.
Evaluation criterion:
The rule by which correct choice between different
alternatives can be made.
Time value of money:
The change in the a mount of money over a given time
period.
The estimates and the decision usually involve four
essential elements:
Cash flows
Times of occurrence of cash flows
Interest rates for time value of money
Measure of economic worth for selecting an alternative
interest is the difference between an ending amount of
money and the beginning amount.
interest is measure of the increase between the original
sum (borrowed or invested) and final amount owed or
occurred as follow:-
A) For invested money
Interest= Total a mount accumulated –original investment
B) For borrowed money
Interest= present a mount owed –original loan
Interest Rate and Rate of Return (ROR)
Define as the ratio between the interest accrued per unit
time and the original a mount expresses as a percentage
in case of borrowed money.
But in case of invested money is called ROR.
Both values are calculated as follow:
The equations and procedures of engineering economy utilize the following terms and symbols.
Sample units are indicated.
P = value or amount of money at a time designated as the present or time 0. Also P is referred to as
present worth (PW), present value (PV), net present value (NPV), discounted cash flow (DCF), and
capitalized cost (CC); monetary units, such as dollars
F = value or amount of money at some future time. Also F is called future worth (FW) and future
value (FV); dollars
A = series of consecutive, equal, end-of-period amounts of money. Also A is called the annual
worth (AW) and equivalent uniform annual worth (EUAW); dollars per year, euros per month
n = number of interest periods; years, months, days
i = interest rate per time period; percent per year, percent per month
t =time, stated in periods; years, months, days
The criterion used to select an alternative in engineering economy
for a specific set of estimates is called a measure of worth . The
measures developed and used in this text are:
Present worth (PW)
Future worth (FW)
Annual worth (AW)
Rate of return (ROR)
Benefit/cost (B/C)
Capitalized cost (CC)
Payback period Economic value added (EVA)

EX (1)
An employee at LaserKinetics.com borrows $10,000 on May 1
and must repay a total of $10,700 exactly 1 year later. Determine
the interest amount and the interest rate paid.
Solution
The perspective here is that of the borrower since $10,700
repays a loan. Apply Equation to determine the interest paid.
