Preface
This Instructor's Manual to Contemporary Engineering Economics contains detailed solutions to all the end-of-chapter problems. The problem solutions follow topical headings to indicate the generic content of each problem.

This OneKey site is designed primarily to help students develop a working knowledge of the concepts and principles of engineering economics. Most questions in this guide are structured in multiple-choice format as these types of exam questions are tested on the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam and, increasingly, in introductory engineering economics courses. The problems listed under ``Short Case Studies" require more involved assumptions, solution steps, and calculations. Please note that your independent solutions to the text problems may yield answers slightly different from mine due to rounding differences. In some cases, the interpretations and assumptions students bring to the
