Engineering Economy- that branch of


Economics which involves the
application of definitive laws of
economics , theories of investment
and business practices to
engineering problems involving
costs, with the concept of obtaining
the maximum benefit at the least
cost.

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
1. 1 DEFINITION OF ENGINEERING
ECONOMY
-involves formulating, estimating and
evaluating the economic outcomes
when alternatives to accomplish a
defined purpose are available.
is a collection of mathematical
techniques that simplify economic
comparison
purpose is to aid in decision making

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
DECISION-result of choosing
alternative over another.
-alternatives refer to selection on
investment or use of funds ( capital)
amount of funds or capital is usually
limited or restricted in quantity
- decisions on how to invest capital
will affect the future

5. Green Engineering

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
As the design and manufacturing process
become more complex, the engineer is making
decisions that will involve more money than ever
before with greater risk but also greater possible
benefits.
Thus the competent and successful engineer
must have an improved understanding of the
principles of science, engineering and economics
coupled with relevant design experience
Economics and design issues are inextricably
linked in the product/service life cycle

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
ROLE OF ENGINEERING ECONOMY IN
DECISION MAKING
Engineers play a major role in capital
investment decisions based on the
analysis , synthesis and design
efforts
The factors considered in making the
decision are a combination of
economic , non-economic factors and
intangibles

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
ROLE OF ENGINEERING ECONOMY IN DECISION
MAKING
People make decision- computers , mathematics
and other tools do not
Engineering Economy Techniques assists people
in making decisions.
Time frame of Engineering Economy is the future
The numbers used in Engineering Economy are
best estimates or forecast of what is expected to
occur.

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
ROLE OF ENGINEERING ECONOMY IN
DECISION MAKING
The Estimates will involve:

Cash Flow

Time of occurrence

Interest rate
The estimates made will be different
from what will occur, due to changing
circumstances and unplanned for events

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
ROLE OF ENGINEERING ECONOMY IN
DECISION MAKING
Sensitivity Analysis- analysis performed to
determine how the decision might change
based on varying estimates especially
those that may vary widely.
Engineering Economy can also be used to
analyze the past. Actual data are
evaluated if the result has met a specified
criterion like rate of return.

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
ROLE OF ENGINEERING ECONOMY IN DECISION MAKING
Procedure for selection of alternative. Problem Solving
approach and decision making process
1. Understand the problem and define the objective.
2. Define the feasible alternative solution and make
realistic estimates
3. Collect relevant information
4. Identify the criteria for decision making using one or
more attributes
5. Evaluate each alternative, using sensitivity to
enhance the evaluation
6. Select the best alternative

1. Types of Business Organization

Proprietorship

Partnership

Corporation

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION

1. Types of Business Organization


Proprietorship-owned by 1
individual

Advantage- easily formed,


organization cost low, tax at owners
personal tax rate. Cannot issue
stocks and bonds difficult to raise
additional financing

1.INTRODUCTION
1. Types of Business Organization

Partnership-same as
proprietorship , except it has more
that one owner, Established by
written contract. Low cost and ease
of formation, Each partner is liable
for a businesss debt, limited life,
dissolved if one of the partners quits.

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
1. Types of Business Organization

Corporation-legal entity created under


law. Separate from its owners and
managers.
(1) can raise capital from large numbers of
investors by issuing stocks and bonds (2)
permits easy transfer of ownership by
trading shares of stocks (3) allows limited
liability-limited to investment in business
(4) taxed differently from proprietorship

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
IMPACT OF ENGINEERING PROJECTS ON
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
Engineers must understand the business
environment in which the companys major
business decisions are made.
1. It is important for a project to generate
profit but it should also strengthen the firms
overall financial position ( cash position,
debt levels, rate of return on capital, market
position, competiveness , asset value etc.)

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
TYPES OF ENGINEERING ECONOMIC DECISIONS
(a) Service or Quality Improvementsimprovement of productivity, quality and
customer satisfaction
(b) New Products and Product Expansion- to
increase revenue due to increase in output:

- Production of new products

- Expansion to new geographic area

- Increase output of existing production or


distribution facilities

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
TYPES OF ENGINEERING ECONOMIC DECISIONS
(c) Equipment and Process Selection- involves
selecting the best course of action to meet a
projects requirements

- equipment selection

- material selection

- process selection
in general the basis of choice of item is the
largest savings generated assuming all items
meet the project requirement

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
TYPES OF ENGINEERING ECONOMIC
DECISIONS
(d) Cost Reduction- project is
expected to lower the firms current

(e) Equipment Replacement- replace
worn out or obsolete equipment

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING
ECONOMICS
1. Money has time value associated with it. Because
we can earn interest on money received today, it is
better to receive money earlier than later.
2. All that counts is the difference between
alternatives-An economic decision should be based
on the differences among alternatives. An economic
decision should be based on the objective of making
the best use of limited resources. Whenever a choice
is made , something is given up. The opportunity
cost is the valu of the best alterrnative given up.

ENGG ECON-INTRODUCTION
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF
ENGINEERING ECONOMICS
3. Marginal revenue must exceed
marginal cost.

Marginal Revenue- additional


revenue made possible by increasing
the activity by one unit. Marginal
Cost is the cost additional cost
incurred by the same activity.

4. Additional risk is not taken without
the expected additional return.

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


2.1 INTEREST
Interest-the cost of having money available
for use
Interest Paid- when money is borrowed
interest paid is the charge to the borrower for
the use of the lenders property or money.
Interest Earned- when money is loaned or
invested , the interest earned is the lenders
gain for providing the money
Interest rate percentage that is periodically
applied and added to an amount of money
over a specified length of time

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


2.1 INTEREST
Interest, interest rate and rate of return
computations
Paid
Interest = amount owed now - original amount
Earned
Interest= amount now - original amount
Interest Rate= Interest paid per unit time x 100%
original amount
Rate of Return = Interest earned per unit time x 100%
original amount
Interest period- time unit of the rate

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


SAMPLE COMPUTATIONS:
An employee borrows PHP 10,000.00 on April
1 and must repay a total of PHP 10,700.00
exactly 1 year later. Determine the interest
amount and interest rate.
Interest paid= PHP10,700.00 PHP10,000.00

= PHP 700.00
Interest Rate = PHP 700.00/ PHP 10,000.00 X
100%

= 7% per year

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


SAMPLE COMPUTATIONS:
A Company plans to borrow PHP
20,000.00 from the bank for 1 year
at 9% interest to buy a new
equipment. (a) Compute the interest
and total amount due after 1 year.
(b) Construct a column graph
showing the original loan amount
and total amount due after 1 year

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


SAMPLE COMPUTATIONS:
Total interest = PHP 20,000.00 x
9%/100

= PHP 20,000.00 x
0.09

= PHP 1,800.00 for


the year
Total Amount Due= PHP 20,000 +
PHP 1,800

= PHP

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


SAMPLE COMPUTATIONS:
(a) Calculate the amount deposited 1 year ago to have
$ 1,000.00 now at an interest rate of 5% per year. (b)
Calculate the amount of interest earned during the
time period.
(a) Total amount = $ 1000.00
Total amount = Original amount + interest earned

Let P = original amount

Interest earned = P x ( interest rate)

= P x 0.05
Total Amount = P + P x 0.05

$ 1,000.00 = P ( 1+0.05)

P = $ 952.38
Interest earned = Total amount - original amount

= $ 1000.00 - $ 952.38

= $ 47.62

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


Should you buy something today or
save your money and buy it later?
CASE: Buying a refrigerator today will
cost
$ 100. Interest rate is 6% per year.
Option 1. Buy now
Option 2. Buy next year, inflation
rate maybe 4% or 8%

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


Option 1. Buy now , result Cost of refrigerator = $
100, balance is zero cash
Option 2. Buy next year.

Interest earned- 6% of $ 100 = $ 6

Total cash = $ 100 + $ 6

= $ 106
If inflation is 4%

original cost of refrigerator =


$ 100

additional cost due inflation= 4% of $ 100= 4

Total cost
$ 104

Cash balance = $ 106 - $104 = $ 2

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


Option 2. Buy next year.

Interest earned- 6% of $ 100 = $ 6

Total cash = $ 100 + $ 6

= $ 106
If inflation is 8%

original cost of refrigerator =


$ 100

additional cost due inflation= 8% of $ 100= 8

Total cost
$
108

Cash balance = $ 106 - $108 = -$ 2

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


Inflation-represents a decrease in the value of a
given currency. PHP 1 now will not be able to
buy the same number of pan de sal as the
same PHP 1 five years ago.
Purchasing Power the amount of goods or
services that your money can buy. Inflation
reduces the Purchasing power of your money
Earning Power- the amount that your money
can earn in a period of time . The earning
power should match the rate of return +
inflation rate allowance.

Types of Transactions Involving
Interest

Borrowing Money, Investing


money, Purchasing on credit

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


Elements of Transaction Involving Interest (I)
Principal (P) - the initial or original amount of
money invested or borrowed
Interest rate (i) measures the cost or price of
money , expressed as a percentage per unit of time.
Interest Period (n) - period of time which determines
how frequently interest is calculated.
Number of Interest periods (N) specified length of
time that marks the duration of transaction.
A plan for receipts and disbursements ( An) that
yields a particular cash flow pattern over a specified
length of time.
Future Amount of Money (F ) results from the
cumulative effects of the interest rate over a
number of interest periods

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


CASH FLOW DIAGRAM- represents time by
a horizontal line marked off with interest
periods. Arrows represents the net cash
flows over time. Upward arrows represent
net positive flows (receipts) downward
arrows represent net negative flows
(disbursements).
End of Period Convention- practice of
placing all cash flow transactions at the
end of an interest period.

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


METHODS OF CALCULATING INTEREST
Simple Interest- interest earned on only
the principal amount during each
interest period
Given : P, i , N
Total interest (I) earned/owned

I = (iP)N
Total Amount (F) available at end of N
periods

F=P+I

F = P + (iP)N = P(1+iN)

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


METHODS OF CALCULATING
INTEREST
Compound Interest- interest earned
or owed is calculated based on the
total amount at the end of the
previous period. The total amount is
equal to the original principal plus
accumulated interest that has been
left in the account.

F = P( 1+i)N

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


COMPOUND INTEREST
What is the amount of Interest earned on PHP
2,000 for 5 years at 10% per year. What is the total
amount after 5 years
( a) for simple interest ( b) interest compounded
yearly.
(a) Simple Interest

I = PiN = 2000x0.10x5 = 1000

F = P ( 1+ iN) = 2000 ( 1+ 0.10x5) = 3,000


(b) F = P ( 1+i)N = 2000(1+0.1)5 = 3221.02

I = F-P = 3221.02-2000 = 1221.02

2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY


Simple vs Compound Interest
Suppose you deposit PHP 1,000.00 in a
bank savings account that pays 8% per
year. Assume that you dont withdraw the
interest earned each period but instead
let it accumulate ( a) How much would
you have at end of year 3 with simple
interest (b) how much would you have at
end of year 3 with compound interest?

2.2 EQUIVALENCE
Option 1- receive PHP 20,000.00 today
Option 2- receive PHP 50,000.00 -10
years from now
Option 3- receive PHP 8,000.00 per year
for the next 10 years.
To be able to compare is to compare the
economic worth of the alternatives.
Without time value, we just add the cash
flows and compare the quantity/amount.
