What is Engineering Econ?

It evaluate the money side of engineering problems.

It answers questions like: When should I buy this? How many payments should I make? Does this take into account all the

stakeholders in the change? When does the cost benefit take

place? Which project should we do?

Engineering Econ Process

Engineering Econ Process

• Identify alternative uses for limited resources

• Obtain needed data (not this class)

• Analyze data to determine preferred alternative:

•Screening decisions(meets minimum acceptable?)

•Preference decisions (Select from competing alternatives)

18

Typical DecisionsTypical Decisions

• Cost reduction (e.g., equipment, tooling, facility layout)

• Capacity expansion (e.g., to increase production, sales)

• Equipment / Project selection

• Lease or buy decisions

• Make or buy decisions

• Equipment replacement

19

Lets Get Started…Lets Get Started…

• Would you rather have $10 000 today or $10 000 five years from now?

• If you don’t need it right now, what could you do with it?

• Would it be worth the same in five years?

• Money changes value with time!

20

Rate of ReturnRate of Return• (ROR) is the rate of change in

value earned over a specific period of time – expressed as a percentage of the original amount

Period Ending Amount – Period Starting AmountPeriod Starting Amount

• The Rate of Return is a measure of how much risk there is in an investment

Higher Risk Higher ROR

x 100%ROR =

21

Rate of Return and Interest

Rate of Return and Interest

• The Interest Rate (i) is the percentage change in value earned over a specific period of time.

• For simple interest, a return is earned only on the original amount (principal, p) each period.

• If the principal is invested for n periods:

Total Money Returned = p + (p)(n)(i)

Total Interest Earned = (p)(n)(i)

22

Compound vs Simple Interest

Compound vs Simple Interest

• For simple interest, a return is earned only on the original principal each period.

• For compound interest, a return is earned on the entire amount (principal + total interest already earned) invested at the beginning of the current period.• Effectively, you are also earning interest

on your interest (and on your investment principal)!

• Unless explicitly stated otherwise, this course uses compound interest.

(And so does the rest of the world!)

23

Using Compound Interest to Make Economic Decisions …Using Compound Interest to Make Economic Decisions …

• Paid $100,000 for it - 3 years ago

• Don’t need it now• Option 1 – Sell it for $50,000• Option 2 – Lease it for

$15,000 for 3 years. Sell

it for $10,000 at the

end of the lease.

Note:Leases typically pay at the beginning of a time period.Loans typically pay at the end of a time period.

The QuestionThe Question

• Under what conditions would I be indifferent between Options 1 & 2?• Indifferent means Economically

Equivalent:– Have the same amount of money

at same point in time, after accounting for all of the cash flows.

– In this case, 3 years from now.

• Interest Rates…– Percentage– Compounding annually

At what interest rate, am I indifferent between the two options?• They are economically equivalent at

an interest rate just a little less than 7.5%

27

Option 1Option 1

50,000 nowi = 10% compounded annually

F1 = 50,000 + 50,000 (.10) = 55,000

F2 = 55,000 + 55,000 (.10) = 50,000 (1 + .10)2 = 60,500

F3 = 60,500 + 60,500 (.10) = 50,000 (1 + .10)3 = 66,550

Generalizing …Generalizing …

P = Present value at the beginning of first

period.Fn = Future value at end

of n periods in the future.

Fn = P (1 + i)n = P (F/P,i,n)

so … (F/P,i,n) = (1+i)n
