Module 4 Outline
• Intro to Engineering Economic Decisions– Read Chapter 1 of the text– Study the Chapter Summary (pp. 36)
• The time value of money– Equivalence and Interest Formulas ( Chapter 2)– Real world examples (Chapter 3)– Analysis of independent Investments (Chapter

Why Pay Interest?
• The borrower pays the lender for:– administrative costs associated with the loan– compensation for the risk of default– opportunity cost associated with not investing
the money elsewhere

Interest Rate Example(Quick Check)
If you borrow $1000 from me and agree to pay the $1000 plus $125 extra at the end of one year, what is the interest rate?
A. 8 %
B. 12.5 %
C. .125 %
Simple Interest:
Interest is paid only on the original principal amount, not on any accumulated interest
In = Pin
Fn = P + In = P(1+in)
Rarely used
Simple Interest:Example (QC)
How much interest is due for a loan of $10,000 at 10% simple interest:
1) after 1 yr?
I = Pin = 10000(.10)(1) = $1000
2) after 2 yrs?
A) $1,000 B) $1,100 C) $2,000
Compound InterestThe interest accumulates interest
F1= P(1+i) where F1 = future value an the end of period 1
F2= F1 (1+i) = P(1+i) (1+i) = P(1+i)2
F3= P(1+i)3
:
Fn= P(1+i)n
where, (1+i)n = (F/P,i,n),is called the compound amount factor
Compound Interest (QC)
How much borrowed today will have to be repaid by $10,000 in three periods(i =10%) ?
A) $9 000
B) $9 091
C) $7 513
Compound Interest Factors
• There are three categories of factor:– those that convert a single payment to a present
or future amount– those that convert a series of payments to a
present or future amount – those that convert a series of payments that
increase or decrease by some constant amount G (for Gradient series) every period to an equivalent uniform series

Formula Summary
• See pp. 94
• Complete Assignment 1(from Chapter 2)
Chapter 2 Review Problems
• The following questions from Chapter 2 are recommended:– Level 1: 2.1 to 2.8 (answers on pp. 905), 2.20
to 2.22, 2.33 to 2.35
– Level 2: 2.40 to 2.42, 2.50 to 2.51
– Level 3: 2.65, 2.67 a only
Nominal and Effective Interest
• Generally interest rates are quoted on an annual basis (annual percentage rate - APR); but the contract may specify that compounding occurs more frequently:– monthly– quarterly (every 3 months)– daily– etc
Nominal Vs. Effective
• What is the effect of compounding more frequently than once per yr?
• Given:– r = nominal interest per yr (APR - annual
percentage rate)– m= number of times per year (sub-periods) that
interest is compounded
– is = r/m = effective interest rate per period
Example
$10 000 is deposited in the bank at a nominal rate of 10% per year, compounding is quarterly..
Given:r = 10%m = 4 periods per yr.
Therefore:
is = r/m = 10/4 = 2.5% per quarter
Quick Check
Do you think the corresponding effective annual interest rate will be:
A. Less
B. Equal
C. More
than the nominal rate?
Example Cont’dWe have P=10,000, is=2.5%Therefore:
F3mo=P(1+ is) = 10 000(1.025)= 10 250
F6mo = F3mo(1+ is)= 10250(1.025)= 10 506
F9mo = F6mo(1+ is)= 10 506(1.025) = 10 769
F12mo= F9mo(1+ is) = 11 038Therefore the accumulated interest at the end of the yr = $1,038
which is more than the $1,000 That we would receive with simple interest
The Effective annual rate :
ie =(F-P)/P = (11038-10000)/10000 = 10.38%
Formula for calculating ia for 1 yr
ia = (1 + r/m)m -1
where ia = effective annual rater = nominal interest rate per yearm = number of compounding periods per yr
Note: 1. This formula applies when compounding is more frequent than once per yr.
2. If m=1, ia = r3. The factor (1+r/m)m increases with m,therefore the more frequent the compounding, the more interest will accumulate.
Quick Check
Choose between:
A) borrowing at 12% compounded monthly
B) borrowing at 13% compounded semi-annually
C) borrowing at 11.5% compounded daily.
Example
Would you prefer to receive:
$200 after 1 yr (case 1)
$150 in 1 yr and another $100$ after 2 yrs (case 2)?
The interest rate at the bank is 15% compounded monthly.
Solution
Case 1200$
0 12
i = 15/12 = 1.25%
P = 200 (P/F,1.25,12) = 172,30$
Case 2150$ 100$
0 12 24
i = 15/12 = 1.25%
P = 150 (P/F,1.25,12) + 100(P/F,1.25,24) = $203.45
By calculating a single present amount that is equivalent to each cash flow we can compare the 2 cases directly.

Effective Interest rate – any payment period
Effective interest are usually based on the payment period, but canBe calculated for any desired period. For example, if cash flow paymentsOccur quarterly, but interest is compounded monthly we may wishTo calculate an effective quarterly interest rate.
i = (1 + r/m)C -1
= (1 + r/CK)C -1Where
M=The number of compounding periods per yearC= The number of compounding periods per payment periodK=The number of payment periods per year
Note that M=CK
Example – effective rate per period
Suppose you make quarterly deposits in a savings account which earns 9% interest compounded monthly. Calculate the effective interest rate per quarter.
r=9%, C = 3 compounding periods per quarter K=4 quarterly payments per year, and M=12 compounding periods per year.Or, M=CK = 3x4=12
i = (1 + r/m)C -1
i = (1 + 0.09/12)3 –1 = 2.27%
Example explained
r = 9% compounded monthly, i=9%/12 = 0.75%
i = (1 + 0.09/12)3 –1 = 2.27% Effective interest rate per quarter
ia = (1 + r/m)m –1 = (1+.0075)12-1 = (1+.0227)4-1 = 9.38%

Equivalence and demand loans
A demand loan is a loan that either the lender or borrower can decide to have terminated by immediate payment of the outstanding balance. In practice, borrowers often choose to pay off a loan in order to save on interest charges. Using the principal of equivalence, the remaining balance of a loan can be determined in two ways.
Example: Julie borrowed $1 000 from the bank at 9% compounded monthly. She agreed to repay the loan in 6 monthly payments but since this is a demand loan, she can clear the balance at any time. Immediately following her second payment, Julie wins big in the lottery and she decides to clear off her debt. How much must she pay to clear the loan?
Solution - Method 1
Payments: A = 1000(A/P,9/12,6) = 1000(.1711) = $171.10/mo
We find an equivalent value of all preceding transactions just after the second payment:
B2 = 1000(F/P,.75,2) - 171.1(F/A,.75,2) = 1000(1.015)-1.71(2.008) = $671.76is the remaining balance after the second
payment
Solution - Method 2
We simply discount the remaining payments to the time at which the loan is to be paid off. I.e., we calculate the PW of the remaining payments.
B2 =171.1(P/A,.75,4) =171.1(3.9261) = $671.76

Calculations involving compound interest
• The frequency of payments is not always the same as the compounding period
• Usually we have 3 of {P,A,F,i,n} and we have to find the forth
• We generally assume that P occurs at the beginning of the first period (or at the end of period 0) and that F and A occur at the end of the period (end of period convention)
Example - Single Transaction
You have $1000 available to invest. You also know that6 years from now you have a requirement for $1600. What rate of return i is necessary achieve $1600?
P=1000
F=1600
n=6
i=?
Solution - single transaction
P=1000
F=1600
n=5
i=?
F = P(F/P,i,n) therefore, (F/P,i,6) = F/P = 1.6 = (1+i)6
(1+i) = 1.6(1/6) = 1.08148 therefore, i = 0.08148 = 8.15%/yr
Therefore, we require an internal rate of return of 8.15%/ yr.To meet the $1600 requirement.
Multiple TransactionQuick Check
In general, most projects have a combination of individual transactions and annuities.
Example: An investment pays $10,000 immediately and $1,000 at the end of each yr for a period of 5 yrs and also has an individual payment of $2,000 at the end of the 5th year. If i=7%, what is the present worth of the transactions?
Special Cases
• There are 3 special cases that prevent the direct application of the compound interest factors:– Compounding is more frequent than payments– The interest rate is not constant for the whole
period– Annuities occur at the start of the period
Compounding more frequent than payments
• Example: three deposits of $2,500 are made every 2 years starting in 2 years. i = 10%/yr, how much will be in the bank at the end of 6 yrs?
• The series compound amount factor (F/A, i, n) cannot be used directly because the payment interval does not match the compounding period.
Solution
1 2 3 4 5 6
i = 10%
F=?
2500 2500 2500
Method 1:
F = 2500 + 2500[(F/P, 10,2) + (F/P, 10,4)] = 2500 + 2500[(1.21) + (1.4641)] = $9,185
Method 2: we calculate an effective interest rate to match the compounding period. I.e. an effective 2 yr interest rate.
ie = (1.10)2-1 = 0.21 = 21%F = 2500(F/A,21,3) = 2500(3.6741) = $9185
Variable interest rates (QC)
If the interest rate changes for different periods, the present worthhas to be calculated in steps.

Annuities at the start of the period
For annuities where the first payment is made today instead of at the end of the first period
P = A + A(P/A,i,n-1)
Ex: Jaqueline needs to rent a machine for 5 yrs. She has to choose between paying $10,000 up front or paying $2,100 at the start of each of the 5 yrs. Use i = 8%.
P = 2100 + 2100(P/A,8,4) = 2100(1+3.3121) = $9,055
Conclusion: it is less expensive to pay monthly.
The difference between the up front cost and the PW of the annuity is $945. How would you interpret this amount?

– without interest– with interest
• Decision Criteria– NPW– AW– FW– IRR
• Capitalized Value
The Payback Method
• Justification– important to know when a project starts to
make a profit– traditional payback approach ignores the time
value of money– do not require a MARR for calculations– Useful for project screening

Disadvantages of payback period • Suppose there were a second option in the previous
example that returned the $1 000 after only 1 yr but had no subsequent receipts. The payback period would be 1 yr, but the investment would not earn any interest!!!
• Even though the first option earned:– 1000=200(P/A,i,10) i=15.1% (IRR)
• Because payback ignores transactions that occur after the payback has occurred it should only be used as supplemental information and never as the main decision.

Project Example
• New Factory– Initial investment
• construction costs• investment in production equipment• training
– Expected profits– decision required:
• accept/reject the project• need a decision criteria
ExampleThe company Fevolard of Kingston is considering the purchase of a new packaging machine. One model has an initial cost of $120 000 and a salvage value of $5 000 after it’s 10 yr service life. Given an anticipated increase in sales revenue the machine is anticipated to result in a cost savings of $15 000$ the first yr. Increasing by $5 000 each of the following 9 yrs. Supplemental operating costs associated with this piece of equipment are $10 000 per yr. The company uses a required rate of return of 12%. Should they invest in the machine?

Quick Check
• If PW(@ MARR) = 0 we should:
A. Accept the project
B. reject the project

5 000 /yr

AE = -120000(A/P, 12,10)+15000+5000(A/G,12,10)-10000+5000(A/F,12,10) = $1 968
0.1770 3.5847 0.0570
i = 12%
Annual Equivalent (AE)
• Of course, if we already have the PW, we can calculate the AE directly:
AE=PW(A/P,12,10) = 11 132(0.1770) = $1 970
Quick Check
Do you believe that the PW criteria and the AE criteria will always yield the same decision?
A. Yes
B. No
C. It depends
Future Equivalent
• The same reasoning applies if we chose to use FE as our decision criteria. The FW, PW and AE can be calculated directly from each other by multiplying by a positive constant amount. Therefore, all three methods will yield consistent results.

NPW = -6000 - 2000[P/A,10,5] + 1500[P/F,10,5] = $-12,650
AEC = -6000(A/P,10,5) - 2000 + 1500[A/F,10,5] = $-3,337.10
AEC = NPW (A/P,10,5) = $-12,650(A/P,10,5) = $-3,337.10
Solution Summary
Machine #1
NPW = $-11,928
AEC = $-3,146.50
Machine #2
NPW = $-12,650
AEC = $-3,337.10
With equal lives, the two methods yield consistent results.

Internal Rate of Return: IRRrendering revenue equivalent to expenses
Ex: Your company can buy a machine for $10,000 and then rent it out for 2500 per yr for it’s service life of 5 yrs. What is the is the interest rate (IRR) for this investment?
P = 10 000 A = 2 500 n = 5 i =?
Therefore, 10000=2500(P/A,i,5), (P/A,i,5 ) = 10000/2500 = 4
From the interest tables: (P/A,8,5) = 3.993 and (P/A,7,5) = 4.1001
By interpolation: i = .07+.01[(4.1001-4)/(4.1001-3.993)]
= .07935 or IRR = 7.9%

Symbol Convention
i* represents the interest rate that makes the NPV of the project equal to zero
IRR represents the internal rate of return of the investment, for simple investments IRR=i*, and this is frequently referred to as the rate of return ROR
