Why Engineering Economy is Why Engineering Economy is important? important?
Engineering Design involves economic decisions
Engineers must be able to incorporate economic analysis into their creative efforts
Often engineers must select and implement from multiple alternatives
Understanding and applying time value of money, economic equivalence, and cost estimation are vital for engineers

buying a new cement mixer, ◦what economic questions you will try
to answer?

What is Engineering What is Engineering Economy? Economy? Engineering Economy involves
◦Formulating◦ Estimating, and ◦ Evaluatingexpected economic outcomes of
alternatives designed to accomplish a defined purpose

Engineering Economy in Decision Engineering Economy in Decision MakingMaking1. Understand the problem – define
objectives2. Collect relevant information3. Define the set of feasible alternatives4. Identify the criteria for decision
making5. Evaluate the alternatives and apply
sensitivity analysis6. Select the “best” alternative7. Implement the alternative8. monitor results

Common Terms Common Terms t = time, usually in periods such as years or
months P = value or amount of money at a time t
designated as present or time 0
F = value or amount of money at some future time, such as at t = n periods in
the future A = series of consecutive, equal, end-of-period
amounts of money n = number of interest periods; years, months i = interest rate or rate of return per time
period; percent per year or month

Engineering Economy in Decision Engineering Economy in Decision MakingMakingYour company wants to decide to buy
or to rent a cement mixer? How can you decide which decision to take?
Measures of worth: ◦Capitalized cost, economic value added◦Present worth, future worth, annual
worth,◦Payback period, Rate of Return,
Time value of money(TMV): The change in the amount of money over a given time period.
TMV is the most important concept in engineering economy

Interest Rate Interest Rate It is the manifestation of the time value of
money• Fee that one pays to use someone else’s
money• Difference between an ending amount of
money and a beginning amount of moneyInterest = amount owed now – principal
Interest rate – Interest paid over a time period expressed as a percentage of principal
Interest rate is Borrower’s perspective
9
Rate of ReturnRate of ReturnLender’s or investor’s perspective – rate
of return earned
10
Interest Rate ProblemInterest Rate ProblemCalculate the amount deposited 1
year ago to have $1000 now at an interest rate of 5% per year, then calculate the amount of interest earned during this period.
11
Simple Interest RatesSimple Interest RatesSimple interest is calculated
using the principal only, ignoring any interest accrued in preceding interest periods.
Interest = principal x (Number of Periods) x interest rate
12
Simple Interest Rate - Simple Interest Rate - ExampleExample
13
Compound Interest Compound Interest The interest accrued for each
interest period is calculated on the principal plus the total amount of interest accumulated in all previous periods.
Interest = (principal + all accrued interest) x interest rate

Cash Flow: BasicsCash Flow: BasicsCash flow are described as the inflows and
outflows of money. Every person or company has
◦ Inflows: cash receipts or revenue or income◦ Outflows: Cash disbursement, costs
Cash flow estimation can be inexact Cash Inflow Types: Operating cost reduction,
asset salvage value, receipt of loan principal, income tax savings, construction cost savings.
Cash Outflow types: operating cost, maintenance, loan interest,
Net Cash Flow (NCF) for each time period: NCF = cash inflows – cash outflows
