INTRODUCTION
•Capitalrefers to wealth in the form of money or
property that can be used to produce more wealth.
•Engineering economy studies involve the
commitment of capital for extended periods of time.
•A dollar today is worth more than a dollar one or
more years from now.
Money has a time value. If money remains
uninvested, value is lost
INTRODUCTION (CONT.)
Interest: The Cost Of Money
•Interest is the difference between an ending amount of money and the
beginning amount
Interest = amount owed now –original amount
Example: ending amount owed is RM110,000 & Beginning amount owed is
RM100,000, therefore; Interest = RM10,000 (RM110,000 –RM100,000)
When money is borrowed the interest paid
is the charge to the borrower for the use of
the lender’s property

periods,theinterestandinterestratearesaidtobesimple.
•Is not used frequently in modern commercial practice.
SIMPLE INTEREST (CONT.)
The total amount repaid at the end of Ninterest periods is P+ I.
P= principal amount lent or borrowed
N= number of interest periods (e.g., years)
i= interest rate per interest period
SIMPLE INTEREST (CONT.)
Example 1:
You borrow RM10,000 for 3 years at 5% simple annual interest. Calculate the interest earned
by the bank.
Interest = (P )(N)(i)
= (10,000)(0 .05)(3)
= RM1,500
Example 2
You borrow RM10,000 for 60 days at 5% simple interest per year (assume a 365 day year).
What is the total amount borrowed by end of 60 days?
COMPOUND INTEREST
•Compound interest means interest on top of interest.
•Compound interest is calculated each period on the original principaland allinterest
accumulated during past periods
•Compound interest is commonly used in personal and professional financial
transactions.
COMPOUND INTEREST (CONT.)
Compound interest reflects both the remaining principal and any
accumulated interest. For RM1,000 at 10%…

2 RM1,100 RM110 RM1,210
3 RM1,210 RM121 RM1,331
COMPOUND INTEREST (CONT.)
Another shorter way to calculate the total amount due is
by using this formula:
Total due after a
number of years Principal (1 + interest rate)
number of years
=
COMPOUND INTEREST (CONT.)
Therefore,
•Compound interest reflects both the remaining principal and any
accumulated interest. For RM1,000 at 10%…
For year 1 : RM1,000 (1 + 0.1)
1
= RM1,100
For year 2 : RM1,000 (1 + 0.1)
2
= RM1,210
For year 3 : RM1,000 (1 + 0.1)
3
= RM1,331

Example:
If RM100 is placed in an account that earns 8% compounded
quarterly, what will its worth in 8 years?

NOMINAL AND EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATES
•The concepts of nominal and effective are used when interest is
compounded more than once each year.
•Nominal rates:
1.Often states as the annual interest rate for credit cards, loans, and
house mortgages.
2.Also known as Annual Percentage Rate (APR).
3.E.g. an APR of 15% is the same as nominal 15% per year or a
nominal 1.25% per month.
NOMINAL AND EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATES
(CONT.)
•Effective rates:
1.Commonly stated as annual rate of return for investments, certificates of deposit,
and savings account.
2.Also known as Annual Percentage Yield (APY).
3.It is used to compare the annual interest between loans with different
compounding terms (daily, monthly, annually, or other).
•The nominal rates will never exceeds the effective rate, and similarly APR < APY

We can find the effective interest, iby using the formula below:

M = number of compounding periods per year
(a.k.a. compounding frequency)

THE CONCEPT OF EQUIVALENCE
Economic equivalence allows us to compare alternatives on a common basis
Each alternative can be reduced to an equivalent basis dependent on:
•Interest rate
•Amounts of money involved
•Timing of the monetary receipts or expenses
Using these elements we can “move”cash flows so that we can compare them at
particular points in time.
THE CONCEPT OF EQUIVALENCE (CONT.)
Different sums of money at different times may be equal in
economic value
-1 0 1
Interest rate = 10% per year
RM90 last year
RM100 now
RM110 one
year from now
Interpretation: RM90 last year, RM100 now, and RM110 one year from
now are equivalent only at an interest rate of 10% per year

2.A truck battery cost of RM200 one year ago is equivalent to RM205 now.
3.A RM38 cost now is equivalent to RM39.90 one year from now.
4.A RM3,000 cost now is equivalent to RM2,887.14 one year ago.
5.The carrying charge accumulated one year on an investment of RM2,000 worth of
batteries is RM100.
THE CONCEPT OF EQUIVALENCE (CONT.)
Solution:
1.The amount RM98 now is equivalent to a cost of RM105.60 one year
from now.
2.A truck battery cost of RM200 one year ago is equivalent to RM205
now.
THE CONCEPT OF EQUIVALENCE (CONT.)
Solution:
3.A RM38 cost now is equivalent to RM39.90 one year from now.
4.A RM3,000 cost now is equivalent to RM2,887.14 one year ago.
5.The carrying charge accumulated one year on an investment of RM2,000
worth of batteries is RM100.
CASH FLOW
Cash flows are inflows and outflows of money.
Cash inflows -receipt, revenue, income, saving
•Samples of cash inflow estimates:
1.Revenues (from sales and contracts)
2.Operating cost reductions (resulting from an alternative)
3.Salvage value
4.Construction and facility cost savings
5.Receipt of loan principal
6.Income tax savings
7.Receipts from stock and bond sales
CASH FLOW (CONT.)
Cash outflows -cost, expense, disbursement, loss
Samples of cash outflow estimates:
1.First cost of assets
2.Engineering design costs
3.Operating costs (annual and incremental)
4.Periodic maintenance and rebuild costs
5.Loan interest and principal payments
6.Major expected/unexpected upgrade costs
7.Income taxes
CASH FLOW (CONT.)
Once the cash inflow and outflow estimates are developed, the net cash
flow can be determined.
Net cash flow= receipts -disbursements
= cash inflows -cash outflows
End-of-period convention: all cash flows and NCF
occur at the end of an interest period
CONSTRUCTING ACASHFLOWDIAGRAM
CONSTRUCTING A CASH FLOW DIAGRAM
•Cash flow diagram: a graphical representation of cash flows drawn on a time
scale.
•The diagram includes what is known, what is estimated and what is needed.
•Once the cash flow diagram is complete, another person should be able to
work the problem by looking at the diagram.
•The time line is a horizontal line divided into equal periods such as days,
months, or years.
CONSTRUCTING A CASH FLOW DIAGRAM
(CONT.)
Example:
Construct a cash flow diagram for the following cash flows: RM10,000
outflow at time zero, RM3,000 per year inflow in years 1 through 5 at an
interest rate of 10% per year, and an unknown future amount in year 5.

SINGLE-PAYMENT FACTORS (CONT.)
Example 1:
If RM100 is placed in an account that earns 8% interest per year, what will its worth in 8
years?
P = RM100, i= 8%, N = 8, F = ?
F = P (1 + i)
N
= 100 (1 + 0.08)
8
= 100 (1.08)
8
= 100 (1.8509)
= RM185.09
F = P (F/P, i%, N)
= 100 (F/P, 8%, 8)
= 100 (1.8509)
= RM185.09
SINGLE-PAYMENT FACTORS (CONT.)
Example 2:
What is the present worth of RM30,000 in year 8 at an interest rate of
10% per year?
F = RM30,000, N = 8, i= 10%, P = ?
P = F (1 + i)
-N
= 30,000 (1 + 0.10)
-8
= 30,000 (1.10)
-8
= 30,000 (0.4665)
= RM13,995
P = F (P/F, i%, N)
= 30,000 (P/F, 8%, 10)
= 30, 000 (0.4665)
= RM13,995
SINGLE-PAYMENT FACTORS (CONT.)
Example 3:
If an engineer invested RM15,000 on 1.1.1991 into a retirement account
that earned 6% per year interest, how much money will be in the account
on 1.1.2016?
Example 4:
The average price of gasoline in 2005 was RM2.31 per gallon. In
1993, the average price was RM1.07. what was the average annual
rate of increase in the price of gasoline over this 12-year period?
Example 4 (cont.):
The average price of gasoline in 2005 was RM2.31 per gallon. We computed
the average annual rate of increase in the price of gasoline to be 6.62%. If we
assume that the price of gasoline will continue to inflate at this rate, how long
will it be before we are paying RM5.00 per gallon?
