INTRODUCTION
Engineers often serve as managers or executive
officers of businesses and therefore are required to
make financial as well as technical decisions.
Even in companies where the managers are not
engineers, engineers serve as advisers and provide
reports and analyses that influence decisions.
Rate of Interest
When the interest amount is expressed as the
percentage of the original amount per unit time, the
resulting parameter is known as the rate of interest
and is generally designated as “i”.
The time period over which the interest rate is
expressed is known as the interest period.
The interest rate is generally expressed per unit year.
However in some cases the interest rate may also be
expressed per unit month.
Compounding Period
Annual interest rate could be compounded:
(a) annually, (b) semiannually, (c) monthly, and
(d) daily.
The change in the compounding period changes
the sum.
Thus, to compare different alternatives, we must
know the stated or nominal annual interest rate
and the compounding period.
