Annual equivalent method

In the annual equivalent method first the revenue of each alternative will be
computed. The alternative with the maximum annual equivalent revenue in the
case of revenue comparison or with the minimum annual equivalent cost in the
case of cost dominated comparison will be selected as the best alternative

A = PW(i) (A/P,i,n)
A = - P (A/P,i,n) + A + S (A/F,i,n)

Where (A/P,i,n) is called equal payment series capital

recovery factor.
3. The above steps 1 and 2 are repeated for all the alternatives
4. Finally the alternative with the maximum annual equivalent revenue
should be selected as the best alternative.

UNIT V
1. Straight line method of depreciation:
Depreciation Dt = (P-F)/n
Book value = Bt-1 – Dt = P-t [(P-F)/n]
Where P = First cost of the asset
F = Salvage value, n = number of years,
Dt = depreciation amount for the period “t”
Bt = Book value at the end of the period “t”

2. Declining Balance method of Depreciation :

Depreciation Dt = K x Bt-1
Book value Bt = (1-K) Bt-1
Where K = a fixed percentage
For double declining balance method K = 2/n

3. Sum of Years Digits Method of Depreciation :

Sum of years = n(n+1)/2
Rate = year/ sum of years
Dt = Rate (P-F)
Bt = Bt-1 - Dt
𝑛−𝑡+1
Dt = 𝑛(𝑛+1) (𝑃 − 𝐹)

(𝑛−𝑡) (𝑛−𝑡+1)
Bt = (𝑃 − 𝐹) +𝐹
𝑛 (𝑛+1)
4. Sinking fund Method of Depreciation :
A = (P-F) [A/F,i,n]
Dt = (P-F) x [A/F,i,n] (F/P,i,n)
Bt = P – (P-F) (A/F,i,n) (F/A,i,n)
