9 Transport Data Collection Course: IENG 301 This course meets at Kansas City St. on: Tuesdays 8:00 to 8:50 Thursdays 8:00 to 8:50 When and where is your next class held at? Would you likely use a shuttle for $20/mo.?

10 Engineering Econ Process Identify alternative uses for limited resources Obtain needed data Analyze data to determine preferred alternative: Screening decisions (meets minimum acceptable?) Preference decisions (Select from competing alternatives)

11 Typical 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

12 Fundamental Concept:

13 Lets Get Started… Would you rather have $ today or $ 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!

14 Rate 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 Amount Period 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 =

15 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)

16 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!)

17 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.

18 Questions?Questions? What about the $100,000? The $100 K is irrelevant - it is a sunk cost, and makes no difference in the decision at this point in time. How do we select between the options? We need to know under which conditions we would be economically indifferent (equivalent) - have the same amount of money at the same time - and then if the conditions are better for one option, we will select that option. Any other factors? Since we need to account for the time value of money - we need to know the interest rate and the compounding period.

19 Cash Flow Diagrams $15 k 0n = $15 k 1 2 $10 k 3YRS OPTION 2: $50 k 0n =YRS OPTION 1: 312 F3?F3? F3?F3?

20 QuestionQuestion 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

22 Option 1 50,000 now i = 10% compounded annually F 1 = 50, ,000 (.10) = 55,000 F 2 = 55, ,000 (.10) = 50,000 (1 +.10) 2 = 60,500 F 3 = 60, ,500 (.10) = 50,000 (1 +.10) 3 = 66,550

23 Generalizing … P = Present value at the beginning of first period. F n = Future value at end of n periods in the future. F n = P (1 + i) n = P (F/P,i,n) (F/P,i,n) = (1+i) n
