3. Topics of the Day.
• Cash flows
• Time value of money.
• Interest rate & ROR.
• Equivalence.
• Types of interest
5. Cash Flows
• Inflows (Revenues)
• Outflows (Costs)
• Without cash flow estimates over a stated
time period, no engineering economy
study can be conducted.
6. Time Value of Money
• The change in the amount of money over
a given time period is called the time value
of money; it is the most important concept
in engineering economy.
• Money makes money…. “If Invested”
7. TVM
• The idea that money available at the
present time is worth more than the same
amount in the future, due to its potential
earning capacity.
• Any amount of money is worth more the
sooner it is received. Also referred to as
"present discounted value
8. TVM
• For example, assuming a 5% interest
rate, $100 invested today will be
worth $105 in one year ($100
multiplied by 1.05). Conversely, $100
received one year from now is only
worth $95.24 today ($100 divided by
1.05), assuming a 5% interest rate
10. Interest Rate and Rate of
Return
• Interest is the difference between an ending
amount of money and the beginning amount
• If the difference is zero or negative, there is no
interest.
• There are always two perspectives to an amount of
interest
– Interest paid
– Interest earned
• Interest is paid when a person or organization
borrows money (obtained a loan) and repays a
larger amount.
11. • Interest is earned when a person or
organization saves, invests, or lent money
and obtains a return of larger amount.
• The computations and numerical values
are essentially the same for both
perspectives.
12. Interest Paid
• Interest = amount owed now – original amount
• When interest paid over a specific time unit is expressed as a %age
of the original amount (principal), the result is called interest rate.
• The time unit of the rate is called Interest period.
• The most common interest period used to state an interest rate is 1
year. (but can be 6 months, 1 month and so on)
• Normally stated 8.5% means over an interest period of 1-year.

13. Notations
• Notation
– I = the interest amount is $
– i = the interest rate (% / interest period)
– N = No. of interest periods (1 Normally)
14. Example 1.3
Given
You borrow $10,000 for one full year
Must pay back $10,700 at the end of one year
Determine
Interest amount = ?
Interest rate paid = ?
15. Examples
• Items which are not easily expressed in
terms of dollars are called:
A) Indirect costs B) Variable costs C) Intangible costs D) Legal issues
• Interest that is calculated using only the
principal is called:
• A) Simple interest B) Effective interest C) Add-on interest D)
Compound interest
16. Examples
• If $1000 is borrowed at 10% per year
simple interest, the total amount due at the
end of five years is nearest to:
A) $1,100 B) $1,250 C) $1,500 D) $1,611
• The amount of money five years ago that
is equivalent to $1000 now at 10% per
year compound interest is nearest to:
A) $621 B) $667 C) $1,500 D) $1,611
17. Example 1.4
• FME plans to borrow Rs. 200,000 from a bank
for 1 year at 9% interest for new equipment
– Compute the interest and the total amount due after 1
year.
18. • When the interest rate is 10% per year, all
of the following are equivalent to $5,000
now except:
A) $4,545 one year ago.
B) $5,500 one year hence.
C) $4,021 two years ago.
D) $6,050 two years hence.
19. Interest Earned
• Interest = total amount now – original amount
• Interest paid over a specific period of time is expressed
as a %age of the original amount and is called Rate of
Return (ROR).
• ROR is also called the Return on Investment (ROI).

20. Example 1.5
• Calculate the amount deposited 1 year
ago to have $1000 now at an interest rate
of 5% per year.
• Calculate the amount of interest earned
during the time period.
21. Example
• A person borrows Rs. 1000 from bank and must
pay a total of 1100 after one year.
• Calculate the amount of interest and interest rate.

24. Economic Equivalence
• The time value of money and the interest
rate help develop the concept of economic
equivalence.
• $100 today = $106 after one year, if the
interest rate is 6%
• $100 today = $94.34 before one year, of
the interest rate is 6%
25. Simple and Compound Interest
• The terms interest period, and interest rate
are useful in calculating equivalent sums
of money for one interest period in the
past and one period in the future.
• But for more than one interest period, the
terms simple and compound interest
become important.
26. Simple Interest
• Simple interest is calculated using the principal only.
• Interest = (Principal) (number of periods) (interest rate)
where the interest rate in this case is in decimals
28. Compound Interest
• The interest accrued for each interest period is calculated on the principal
plus the total amount of interest accumulated in all previous periods.
• Compound interest mean interest on top of interest.
• Interest=(Principal + all accrued interest) (interest rate)
• Total due after a number of years = P(1+i) n
Interest rate in
this case is in
decimals
29. Example 1.8
• If an engineer borrows $1000 from the company credit
union at 5% per year compound interest, compute the total
amount due after 3 years.
