economics is the application of economic techniques to the evaluation of design and engineering alternatives.1 The role of engineering economics is to assess the appropriateness of a given project‚ estimate its value‚ and justify it from an engineering standpoint. This chapter discusses the time value of money and other cash-flow concepts‚ such as compound and continuous interest. It continues with economic practices and techniques used to evaluate and optimize decisions on selection of fire safety strategies

Principles of Banking and Finance: Single Cashflow 1. Present Value (PV) * the value on a given date of a payment or series of payments made at other times (past or future) * Discounting from the future * Value at t=0 on a given time line (“t” is the period‚ ranging from 0 to n where “n” being the last period). * Net Present Value (NPV): PV after deducting all the costs 2. Future Value (FV) * The amount to which a specific sum and /or series of payments will grow on a given

Critical Thinking Questions 6.1 Identify the steps involved in computing the future value when you have multiple cash flows. First‚ prepare a time line to identify the size and timing of the cash flows. Second‚ calculate the present value of each individual cash flow using an appropriate discount rate. Finally‚ add up the present values of the individual cash flows to obtain the present value of a cash flow stream. This approach is especially useful in the real world where the cash flows for each

firms. How is this possible? Does this violate our basic principle of stock valuation? Explain. Our basic principle of stock valuation is that the value of a share of stock is simply equal to the present value of all of the expected dividends on the stock. According to the dividend growth model‚ an asset that has no expected cash flows has a value of zero‚ so if investors are willing to purchase shares of stock in firms that pay no dividends‚ they evidently expect that the firms will begin paying
