Process Plant Design and Economics

• Interest is the cost of borrowed money, or the earnings on money loaned.

• Interest rate is defined as the amount of money earned by, or paid on, a
unit of principal in a unit of time, expressed as a fraction or % per year.
• Interest paid is an expense of business operation that must be included in
the analysis of business profitability.

• Simple interest:
I = PiN
F = P + I = P(1 + iN)
Process Plant Design and Economics

• A student obtains a simple-interest loan to pay one year of college tuition,


which costs ₹50,000, and the annual interest rate on loan is 6%. The
student repays the loan over three years. Calculate the amount of simple
interest and the total amount paid after three years.
Process Plant Design and Economics

• Compound Interest is the interest earned on accumulated, reinvested


interest as well as the principal amount.

Nominal and Effective Interest Rates
• Nominal interest rate: An interest rate stated as an annual rate but
compounded other than annually

• The effective interest rate ieff is the rate which, when compounded once
per year, gives the same amount of money at the end of 1 year, as does the
nominal rate r compounded m-times per year
#
• !!"" = 1 + &⁄' -1
• A nominal interest rate for compounding periods less than a year is always
lower than the equivalent rate with annual compounding.
Process Plant Design and Economics

Example:
It is desired to borrow ₹1000 to meet a financial obligation. This money can
be borrowed from a loan agency at a monthly interest rate of 2%. Determine
the following:
a. The total amount of principal plus simple interest due after 2 years if no
intermediate payments are made
b. The total amount of principal plus compounded due after 2 years if no
intermediate payments are made
c. The nominal interest rate when the interest is compounded monthly.
d. The effective interest rate when the interest is compounded monthly.
Which interest rate is higher

Process Plant Design and Economics

Continuous Interest

( F / P, r , N ) = e rN

Þ F = P ( F / P, r , N )

• The factor(F/P,r,N) is the ratio of future-worth F to present worth P, when


compounding is continuous at a nominal rate of r per year for N years.
• The amount given by compounding at the effective rate reff at the end of 1
year is (1+ reff)
reff = e r - 1 Þ r = ln (1 + reff ) \ F = PerN = P(1 + reff ) N
Process Plant Design and Economics
Example:
For the case of a nominal interest rate of 20% per year, determine
a) The total amount to which ₹100 of initial principal would accumulate after
1 year with annual compounding and the effective annual interest rate.
b) The total amount to which ₹100 of initial principal would accumulate after
1 year with monthly compounding and the effective annual interest rate.
c) The total amount to which ₹100 of initial principal would accumulate after
1 year with daily compounding and the effective annual interest rate.
d) The total amount to which ₹100 of initial principal would accumulate after
1 year with continuous compounding and the effective annual interest rate.

How Interest Rates are Determined


• Supply and Demand of money or credit

• Inflation

• Government
Process Plant Design and Economics

1. What total amount of funds before taxes will be available 10 years from
now if ₹10,000 is placed in a savings account earning an interest rate of
6% compounded monthly? How many years will be required for this
amount to double at the same interest rate compounded semiannually?
What is the shortest time in years for the doubling to occur if continuous
compounding is available?
2. An original loan of $2000 was made at 6% simple interest per year for 4
years. At the end of this time, no interest had been paid and the loan was
extended for 6 more years at a new, effective, compound-interest rate of
8% per year. What is the total amount owed at the end of the 10 years if
no intermediate payments are made?

Depreciation and Income Tax
• Physical facilities deteriorate and decline in usefulness with time.
• A deduction for depreciation may be claimed each year for property
with a limited useful life
• This deduction allows tax-payers to recover their costs for the
property over a period of years.
• Physical depreciation: decrease in value of a facility due to changes
in the physical aspects of a property. Wear and tear, corrosion,
accidents, and deterioration due to age
Process Plant Design and Economics

Depreciation and Income Tax


• Functional depreciation: Obsolescence is caused by technological
advances which make an existing property obsolete.
• Other causes of functional depreciation
• decrease in demand for the service rendered by the property
• shifts in population
• changes in requirements of public authority
• inadequacy or insufficient capacity
• abandonment of the enterprise.
Process Plant Design and Economics

Depreciation and Income Tax


• There is no cash outlay for depreciation, and no money is
transferred to any fund or account, so the depreciation charge is
added back to the net income after taxes to give the total cash flow
from operations.
Process Plant Design and Economics

• Depreciable Investments
• In general, all property with a limited useful life of more than one year
that is used in a trade or business, or held for the production of income.
• Physical facilities: design and engineering, shipping, and field erection
• The land is not depreciable, but improvements to the land
• Working capital and start-up costs are not depreciable.
• The costs of maintenance and repairs are not depreciable.
• The total amount of depreciation that may be charged is equal to the
amount of the original investment in a property.
• Depreciation does not inflate or deflate.
Process Plant Design and Economics
• Current value: the value of the asset in its condition at the time of valuation
• Book value: the difference between the original cost of a property and all the
depreciation charged up to a time
• Market value: The price that could be obtained for an asset if it is sold on the
open market
• Salvage value: the net amount of money obtainable from the sale of used
property over and above any charges involved in removal and sale.
• Scrap value: the property is not useful, it can often be sold for material
recovery.
• Recovery Period: The period over which the use of a property is economically
feasible
• Service life: The period over which depreciation is charged.

Determination of capitalized cost. A new piece of completely installed

equipment?
Process Plant Design and Economics
Example:
Comparison of alternative investments using capitalized costs. A reactor, which
will contain corrosive liquids, has been designed. If the reactor is made of mild
steel, the initial installed cost will be $5000, and the useful-life period will be 3
years. Since stainless steel is highly resistant to the corrosive action of the
liquids, stainless steel, as the material of construction, has been proposed as an
alternative to mild steel. The stainless-steel reactor would have an initial
installed cost of $15,000. The scrap value at the end of the useful life would be
zero for either type of reactor, and both could be replaced at a cost equal to the
original price. On the basis of equal capitalized costs for both types of reactors,
what should be the useful-life period for the stainless-steel reactor if money is
worth 6% compounded annually?
Process Plant Design and Economics

Example:
A piece of equipment has an initial installed value of $12,000. It is estimated
that its useful life period will be 10 years and its scrap value at the end of the
useful life will be $2000. The depreciation will be charged by making equal
charges each year, the first payment being made at the end of the first year.
The depreciation fund will be accumulated at an annual interest rate of 6%.
At the end of the life period, enough money must have been accumulated to
account for the decrease in equipment value. Determine the yearly cost due
to depreciation under these conditions.
