So according to him, economics is concerned with human welfare that means man is primary importance and wealth is only secondary importance i.e. wealth for man. Definition 3: Lionel Robbins (1898 - 1984) Lionel Robbins (British economist) has provided a new definition of economies in 1932. According to him "Economics is the science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses." Hence, economics is the science of scarcity and choice, and it studies how the scarce resources are allocated among different engines.

Demand and Supply Pe Eee EE [Demans = Desire for anything (goods and services) with ability to pay and willingness to pay. » The various quantities/units of an item that a buyer is willing to buy at alternative/various prices in a market. Law of Demand "Other things being equal demand varies inversely with price." Everybody is known that demand depends upon price. Law of demand states the relationship between the quantity demanded and price of the commodity. Although there are many other factors (income, taste, weather, population size, etc.) to influence on demand, price is the most important determinant of demand in the short-run as well as long-run, Law of demand explains the inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. It is defined as “all other things remaining the same, the quantity demanded of a commodity increase when its price decrease and vice versa." This law assumes income, fashion, price of related goods, population size, taste and preferences, price expectations etc. are remained constant. The principle of law of demand can be illustrated by a hypothetical demand schedule and graph below. : _ > Price in Rs/Kg _ he Quantity demanded in Kg 5 10 10 8 15 6 20 25 In above demand schedule, as price increases from Rs. 5/kg to Rs. 25/kg, quantity demanded decreases from 10 kg to 2 kg gradually. Demand curve is a graphical presentation of demand schedule. When the data given in the above demand schedule plots in a graphical form, then we can derive a demand curve.

So, this question is answered by elasticity of demand. ‘The term ‘elasticity’ denotes the quantity of goods to expand and contract. Hence, the change in quantity demanded due to change in price, income, etc. is called elasticity of demand. It is defined as "elasticity of demand is the measure of relative change quantity demand in response to a relative change in any of its determinants (price of the commodity, income of the consumer, price of related goods etc." Elasticity of demand is technical term used by the economists to describe the degree of responsiveness of the demand for the commodity to change in price and so on. ; Proportionate change in quantity demanded Elasticity of demand (Es) = py gportionate change in any one quantitative determinant of demand Inmodem time, broadly speaking the elasticity of demand is classified into three major types. (a) Price elasticity of demand (0) Income elasticity of demand (c)_ Cross elasticity of demand | (@) Price Elasticity of Demand (Er) Price elasticity of demand is defined as the degree of responsiveness of demand for a commodity to the change in its price. It shows that at what rate the demand changes with change in price. | Proportionate change in quantity demanded of the commodi Proportionate change in the price of the commodity Price elasticity (B;) = 4Q Q a9, P40, F Symbolically, Er 2.8. ap aP*Q P Where, Ey = Price elasticity 4Q = Change in quantity demanded Q = Initial quantity demand AP = Change in price P = Initial price This concept can be illustrated by the help of a numerical example.

Here, AQ=50-30=20 AP = 15-2: Q=30 P=25 AQ P20 25_ Erm ap" Q7-10" 307 Ep=-1.66 Here, minus (or ~ve) sign refers inverse relationship between quantity demanded and price of the commodity. The coefficient 1.66 refers 1 percent decrease in price results 1.66 percent increase demand. Types/Degrees of Price Elasticity There are five types of price elasticity of demand which are as follows; (Perfectly elastic demand (Ep = 0) If the quantity demand increases in unlimited quantity with a very small fall in price or it falls to zero with a very small rise in price, then the situation is known as perfectly elastic demand, It is only hypothetical concept i.e. not found in practical life. 4 pi2 Dy | LT oO a @ ~ * Quantity demanded In the figure, price is measured along OY-axis and quantity demanded is measured along OX-axis Horizontal demand curve DD, indicates small rise in price brings quantity demand to zero and small fall in price leads to increase quantity demand infinitely. ! (ii) Relatively elastic demand (Ep > 1) If the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage change in price, then it is said to be relatively elastic demand. In case of luxurious and cosmetic goods, such demand can bé realized. Price ° Q2 a Quantity demanded Inthe figure, price and quantity demanded is measured along OY and OX-axis respectively. When price decreases from OP, to OP, demand increases from OQ: to OQ. Here, increase in demand is ter than decrease in price which refers relatively elastic price elasticity of demand. (ii) Unitary elastic demand (Ep = 1) If the percentage change in quantity demanded is equal to the percentage change in price, then it is said to be unitary elastic demand, x D. Pa Pit 8 Dy = ° — Quantity demanded In the figure, DD; is unitary elastic demand curve. When price decreases from OP; to OP, demand increases from OQ, to OQ). Here, increase in demand is just equal to the decrease in price. (iv) Relatively inelastic demand (Ep < 1) If the percentage change in quantity demanded is less than percentage change in price, then it is said to be relatively inelastic demand. For example If price falls by 20% and demand increases by 15%, then it can be said such elasticity. In case of daily consumption (normal) goods, such demand can be realized. Quantity demanded In figure, DD, is relatively inelastic demand because change in quality demanded (Q,Qz) is less than change in price (P;P,). In other words, when price decrease from OP, to OP; demand increases from OQ to OQ,, where increase in demand is less than decrease in price. — fi = Peer inelast (v) Perfectly inelastic cena he ve to any change in price, then it is said to be perfectly ine!

Here, the quantity demanded is remained fixed whatever changes in the price. 'b) Income Elasticity of Demand (Ey) It refers to the chang, change in consumer's income, i = Proportionate change in quantity demanded Income elasticity of demand (E,) = Proportionate change in inpooe 49 : Q 40, ¥ ag y i = ay «= 40,¥ Symbolically, E, AY 'Q “A¥=Ay Q Yi Where, E, = Income elasticity 40 = Change in quantity demanded Q= Initial demand AY: *hange in income Y= Initial income This concept can be illustrated b {er than unity income elasticity (E, > 1) Gr ercetase change in quantity demanded is ' greater than percentage change i e tia to be greater than unity income elastic ai tha ace nnge in income, then itis be writ ity of demand.

Here, increase is demand is x than increase income i.e. QQ: > Y,Y2. i) Equal to unity income elasticity (E, = 1) Ifthe change in income brings the equal change in quantity demanded, then such elasticity is said to. be equal to unity. In another words, it is the situation of change in demand and income by equal tion. propo y D4 gv iy D’ ee Quantity demanded Inthe figure, the demand curve DD; shows unitary income elasticity because when income increases from OY, to OY,, it leads to increase demand from OQ; to OQ: where change in income and change in demand are equal ie. Y;¥2 = QiQ2. (ii) Less than unity income elasticity (Ey <1) Ifthe percentage change in quantity demanded is less than percentage change in income, then it is said to be less than unity income elasticity.

If goods are giffen or inferior, then the demand varies inversely with income because higher income inspires people to consume superior goods.

In this situation, increase in income leads to decre: 1 indicates negative income elasticity of the ase in quantity demand. (c)_ Cross Elasticity of Demand (Ec) If the change in the price of one commodit it is called cross-elasticity of demand. In elasticity arises. Cross elasticity of demand; _ Proportionate change in quantity demanded of X (Ec) = Proportionate change in price of Y AQx ically, Fe= OX 208, Py _AQe Symbolicaly, Be = Gp Qe Be = +e Py MEW Finches of pigiicerng Beano aE ty brings the change in demand for other commodity, then case of related goods (substitute and complementary) such where, AQx = Change in quantity demanded. | for X commodity ital demand for X commodity AP = Change in price of ¥ commodity Py = Initial price of ¥ commodity Example, Price of coffee in Rs/eup | Demand for tea in cup 10 40 15 60 Let, tea and coffee (substitute goods) are X and ¥ goods respectively. Here, AQx = 60 — 40 = 20 APy = 15-10 =5 Qx=40 Py=10 AC Py 20 10 Here, the coefficient Ec= 1 shows cross elasticity is positive and unitary. Note: The cross elasticity will be negative in case of complementary goods. Types of Cross Elasticity of Demand @ Gi) Cross elasticity is of three types: Positive cross elasticity (Ec = +ve) Ifthe quantity demanded for one commodity (say X) varies positively with the change in price of another commodity (say Y), the cross elasticity will be positive. It is connected with substitute goods like tea and coffee. Y Dy oc 2p = Spt 8 a oO a @* Quantity demanded for X (coffee) In figure, the upward sloping demand curve DD; shows positive cross elasticity of demand, Here, the increase in price of commodity Y (tea) leads to increase in demand for commodity X( coffee). It is because of people substitute tea for coffee due to high price of tea when price of coffee is Temaining constant, Negative cross elasti sity (Ec =—ve) If the quantity demanded for one commodity (say X) varies inversely with the price of another commodity (say Y), the cross elasticity will be negative. It is connected with complementary goods like petrol and motorbike. aD Price of Y(petrol) 2 Quantity Demanded for X(bike) In figure, downward sloping demand curve shows the negative cross elasticity of demand, Here, th increase in price of commodity Y (petrol) leads to reduce the demand for commodity X (motorbike) Itis because of people could not use motorbike due to high price of petrol. Gi) Zero cross elasticity (Ec= 0) If there is no any response in quantity demanded for one commodity (say X) due to the change it Price of another commodity (say Y), the cross elasticity will be zero. It is connected unit perfect non-related goods like watch and sugar, i & fe =P3 ¥ pt 3. ary SP a D Onc es Quantity Demanded for X(sugar) In figure, vertical straight demand curve DD, shows the zero cross elasticity of demand. Here, increase in price of commodity Y (watch) does not any effect to the demand for commodity X (sugar) because these goods are non-related with each other, F Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility This law was first pointed by H. Gossen in 1854 and it was developed and explained by neo-classical economist Marshall. It is central to the cardinal utility analysis of the consumer behavior, Tt states that in the process of fulfilling human wants, when consumer consumes more and more units o a commodity, the utility derived from each successive unit ofthe commodity goes on decreasing. Henct the relationship between quantity consumed and utility derived from each successive unit is called the lat of diminishing marginal utility. According to Marshall, "the additional benefit which a person deriv from an increase of his stock of a thing diminishes with the growth of the stock that he already has." This law is based and explained under certain conditions or assumption, such as; utility is cardinally measurable, consumer's taste and preference must be unchanged, suitable and similar units of commodity rational consumer and continuous consumption etc. It can be explained more systematically with the hel? of'a numerical example and figure. Let us consider the following table: HEL | irc ies or BGG FIOM AeAI SE | Suppose @ consumer is consuming units of apple. Heshe ¥ stars eating apple one after another. The first apple gives him/her great pleasure/satisfaction/utility. Right that-time, he °° starts second one and he compares it with frst. Second apple gives him less satisfaction than first apple and the satisfaction of the third apple will be lesser and so on. In this way, consumer goes on consuming till it drops down to zero. In. 20. there further force on consumption, the satisfaction will be 18. negative which leads to decrease in total utility. According to 16 above table, the utility derived from the first unit of apple is _ 4 10 and it is decreasing on successive units like 8, 6, 4 and so = 12 on. At sixth unit, consumer is getting zero marginal utility and total utility is 30. At this point the satisfaction derived is ° maximum, so it is the point of maximum satisfaction to the 4 consumer. He does not want to consume another ie, seventh 2 ° 2 unit gives him negative utility (-2) instead of positive satisfaction which leads to decrease his total utility by 28. ‘The marginal utility (MU) curve has negative sloped and _— crossed the OX-axis on seventh unit. The total utility (TU) curve is increasing at decreasing rate and it becomes maximum when MU is zero. When MU is negative TU has declined. Consumer's Equilibrium Under This Law A consumer reaches on equilibrium position when he maximizes his total utility with given his money income and price of commodity that he consumes. So, consumer's equilibrium requires answering the question of "how does a consumer allocate his money income among the various units to achieve maximum satisfaction?" Let a consumer has certain money income to spend commodity X and that commodity is available in the market, Both his money income and commodity have utility for the consumer. Therefore, he can either spend his money income on commodity or save it as in the form of wealth. On the process of consuming X, he compares the marginal utility of commodity and marginal utility of money i.e. price. If the marginal utility of commodity X (ie. MUy) is greater than the price of the commodity (i.e. Px), consumer will exchange his money for the commodity to get maximum satisfaction i.e. equilibrium. Hence, according to this law, a consumer reaches on maximum satisfaction i.e. equilibrium when, MUx = Px [Where, MUx = Marginal utility of X and Px = Price of X] 12345 6 (Tastes of enaincering economics HED Before 1940, engineers were mainly con th the design, construction and operation of machines, structures and presses, They’ gave less attention to the use of resources (human & physical as well ay capital & financial) that produced the final product, After this, engineers have been more interesting to generate novel technological solutions and to make skillful financial analysis of the effective implementation, Ie means, without these analysis, an entire project can easily become more of burden than a benefit The study of engineering economy draws upon knowledge of engineering and economics to address problems of allocating scarce resources. Its definition suggests that the goal of engineers should transfer resourves (natural) for the economic benefit of human being, The focus on scarce resources welds ‘engineering to economies. ‘The relation of enginecring to economics can be likened to that of engineering to physics. The laws of economic are not as precise as those of physics but their application to the production & utilization of scare resources ensures increasing attention from engineers, For example ~ micro economics is the study ‘of economic behavior of very small segments of the economy with aiming at maximizes profit of a firm ‘or maximizes satisfaction of a houschold consumer. On the other hand, engineering economy focus on economic decision making in an individual univorganization such that engineering economy is closely aligned with microeconomics “The economic theory of the location of Railways” written by A.M, Wellington in 1887 is known as pioneer engineering interest in economic evaluation, Wellington focused that the capitalized cost method of analysis should be utilized in selection the preferred lengths of rail Ii In 1920, C.L. Fish & O.B, Goldinan looked at investment in engineering structures from the perspective of bond market & compound interest procedure for determining comparative economic values An 1930, L. Grant published “Principles of Engineering Economy” and discussed about the importance of judgment factors, short-term investment, long-term investments in capital goods based on compound interest calculations, His many contributions resulted in the recognition that he is called the father of engineering economy, Later on, the modem approaches like; di ete. are being used to reflect today finds on engineering economics. Engineering Economics: What and Why? Engineering economics is the field of those activities wl of the costs and benefits of proposed te: counted cash Mow, capital rationing, risk & sensitivity analysis oncems for resource conservation & effective utilization of public hhich are concerned with the systematic evaluation the nical and business projects design and analysi decision covers a wide variety of areas ranging from choosing airport locations to improving production methods and determining budget requirements. Since all government and corporate decisions are influenced by financial considerations, one of the most effective and important tools available to engineers is economic analysis. Engineering activities of analysis and designs are not end all because they are means for satisfying human wants. Engineering has two concerns: need of the people and resource available, Because of resource constraints, engineering must be closely associated with economics. It is essential that every engineering Proposal be evaluated in terms of cost and worth before they are undertaken and economic feasibility an essential prerequisite of every successful engineering application, Engineering economic analysis which is used interchangeably with engineering ecdnomy, usually ‘feludes significant technical considerations. Conceptually, engineering economic analysis is the same a 3 ca other types of technical analysis, It is mathematical modeling with emphasis on the economic in the primary analytical technique to select between defined feasible altematives. Thus MEE Picpererensnceina economia .

Definition 1 “Engineering is the art of doing well with one dollar Which any bungler can do with two after a fashion.” = A.M. Wellington Definition 2 “Engineering sconomics is the application of economic techniques to the evaluation of design and © of engineering economics is to assess the appropriateness of a given justify it from an engineering standpoint.” ~ John M, Watts Important Usages of Engineering Economics The study of Engineering economy draws upon knowledge of engineering and economies to address problens of allocating scarce resourcer, It is consémned with the sysiematjc evaluat of dhe corte ot benefits of proposed technical and business projects. The techniques and models of engineering economy assist people in making decisions. Since decision affects what will be done and the time fame ot engineering economy is primarily the future, Therefore, the use of engineering economic analysis may be best estimates of what is expected to occur. These estimates often involve following three essestiel elements; cash flows, time and interest rate. Engineering economy quantities the benefits and costs associated with engineering projects to determine capital investment. ‘The decisions are made by the engineers to choose one alternative over another and decisions often reflect a person's educated choice of how to best invest capital funds. It is utilized to analyze alternative use of financial resources and in assessing the economic merits of altemative uses of private and public funds, The principles and methodologies of engineering economy have wi and technical as well as general management. Similarly, itis an integral part of daily management and operation of private companies and corporations, government agencies and non-profit organizations, In the operation of capital funds on any project, engineers and managers can use the study of engineering economy to assist decision making situation from the following ground; 1. Selecting between alternatives designs for a component, machine, service during the engineering design process. Estimating and analyzing the economic consequences of improvements ina factory operation, Selecting among proposed projects within the annual capital budget limit, Analyzing whether the equipment in the service should replace or not. . Choosing between asset lease or purchase options to a product, Hence, the use of engineering economics study involves technical and economic analysis with a decision making objective. Role of Engineers in Decision Making An engineering economist draws upon the accumulated knowledge of engineering and economies t0 identify alternative use of limited resources and to select the preferred option in the course of action, It is devoted to problem solving and decision making at all levels, ; A decision is simply the selection of best one from two or more options in course of ation whether it takes place in construction or production, service or manufacturing industries, private or public agencies. ‘de application in engineering design structure, system, produet or yPen ject of engineering economy The major decisions have economic overtones that makes the subject of engin any ee miiintie os be bel onan aia expected t0 occur iy i ‘ing economic anal lys " , eee : Te use of ae often involve following three elements; ca cos te — ; ai i Te ing economy quantifies thé benefits & cost associated with eng piesa oscil insets Ts tessa ose by the engineers to choose one pro devin sep esas cheat ion bee use/invest capital funds.

Differential Cost ex Revenue In business decisions, each alternative (project) has certain costs and revenue that must be compared with other available alternatives (projects). : A difference in cost between any two alternatives is known incremental cost.

If several alternatives are possible, we select the one which has the minirmum cost and maximum savings from the base (existing method). Problems of this type are often called trade. off problems, because cost of one project is traded off cost for another project. It is the best ecu opportunity to earn retum by using available resources. In another words, it is the best opportunity to generate income that is forgone by not using the limited resources. It is more useful in business decision. If the asseUresource has been abandoned, then the opportunity cost will be zero. Sunk cost: All the costs that already has been incurred in past actions which cannot be recovered refers such cost. Sunk costs are not relevant to decision making process because they cannot be changed regardless of what decision is made now or in the future. Marginal cost; ‘The change in total cost due to increase in output by single unit. ‘The net cost involved in producing one more unit of product is called margi Marginal cost (MC) = TC, ~ TC, 1 are OR, MC = = s used in production activity, c -d into following thr (i) Material cost Gi) Labour cost (iii) Overhead expenses @ Material cost ‘The substance which is used for the production of an 'y things is known as material. Hence, the cost of raw materials, Spare parts, consumable materials (fueVelectrie, water), packing materials (carton, wrapping paper, cardboard boxes) ete. are called material cost, Gi) Labour cost Human effort is indispensable for the conversion of materi ials into final goods and such effort is known as labour. Hence, all the costs of skilled and unskilled lab our employed in construction or production process are called labour cost. (iii) Overhead expenses Overhead expenses include all the cost which have xp pot covered by material cost and labour cost. Therefore, it includes the cost of special design, n drawings or layouts, cost of purchase or hiring of tools and equipment for a particular job and maintenance costs o| ols : f such tools and equipment. Similarly, royalty fee, training expenses, rent, insurance, depreciation, tax, stationary ec, are fall under this category. In another words, overhead expense is the indirect cost that can't be reasonably measured and allocated to a specific output or work activity. Hence, overhead expenses are the sum of indirect material cost, indirect labour cost and all indirect expenses. The elements of cost mentioned above constitute the total cost, Hence, Total cost = Material cost + Labour coust + Overhead expenses: ith retirement and disposable activities. It may also be ication of the economic need and ends wit sdoffsed asthe summation of acquisition, operation, Papeyele cost consists following three components: (i) Fisteost i ci Operating and Maintenance costs i) Disposal costs (First cost (Initial investment, capital cost) The first cost is the total initial investment required to get the item (project) ready for service and such costs are non-recurring nature over the life of the item. The first cost may consist of the following major elements: (a) Land cost (6) Engineering design and development cost (©) Building cost (@) Basic machine and installation cost (¢) Training and special tooling cost (9 Cost of supporting equipmenv/computer and transportation (g) Manufacturing and fabrication costs ete, Operating and Maintenance cost Operating and maintenance costs are recurring costs that are necessary to operate and maintain an item/project during its useful life. Operating costs usually consists ofthe following elements: (@) Labour cost (wages and salaries) (b) Material (raw materials) (©) Consumable materials (fuel, electric power, water, packing material) (@) Overhead items (tax, insurance premium, inventory charges, administrative and management expenses, stationary, small tools, overtime and meeting expenses etc.) (ce) Transportation cost etc. Operating cost will be recurring nature and possible to estimate annual basis but maintenance costs may not be such nature. (iii) Disposal cost When the life cycle of an item/project has ended, disposal costs usually result. Disposal costs may include following elements: (a) Labour cost for removal of the item. (b) Material cost (tools, fuel/electric, packing material etc.) (©) Transportation cost etc. Although disposal costs may be incurred at the end of the life cycle, most items have some monetary value at the time of their disposal. This value is the true or market value (actual selling price of the item/project). After deducting the cost of disposal from the market value, the net worth of the item/project is obtained. Such net worth at the time of disposal is called salvage/scarp value of the item/project. maintenance and disposable costs. i Prime and overhead cost on Production cost = Prime cost is the sum of direct cost that can be reasonably measured and allocated to a specif ie output.

Basically there are two methods of cost accounting: (a) Specific order (Job) costing (b) Operation (Process) costing (a) Specific order (Job) costing Itis the category of basic costing method and applicable where the work consists on separate job, batch or contract, and each of which is authorized by a specific order or contract. Order costing is used to find out the cost of special jobs made to consumer's specification. This method is used when products are manufactured in clearly distinguishable lots according to individual specifications and itis practical to keep a separate record of each lot from beginning to job completion. It is done commonly for building construetion, printing, repairing, decoration, furnishing etc. () Operation (Process) costing Itis the category of basic costing method applicable where standardized goods ot services result fiom a sequence of repetitive continuous operation or process. It refers to costing of one or more Process involved while converting a raw material into finished output, Process costing is done on Paper, textile mills, chemical plants, food, oil refining, diary product ete. This method is employed where itis not possible to trace the items of prime cost to a particular order. In oil refining factory, wwe can not trace the prime cost of a specific order for say 200 liters of refined oil where thousands ofliters of oil are being produced at the same time.

Method of Overhead Distribution ‘There are many methods of allocating overhead cost among the products of service produced, The most commonly used methods involve allocation in proportion to direct labour cost, direct laobur hours, direct material cost, sum of direct labour and direct material cost or machine hours. In these methods, it is necessary to estimate what the total overhead cost will be? Accordingly, total overhead costs are customarily associated with a certain level of production, which is an important conditions that should always be remembered when dealing with unit-cost data. To illustrate one method of allocation of overhead cost, consider the method that assumes overhead is incurred in direct proportion to the cost of direct labour used. According to this, the overhead cost per unit would be, Overhead rate = “Tyirect labour in dollars for period Overhead cost/unit = Overhead rate « Direct labour costunit Example: 2. Following are the costs for the production of 100 badminton racquets; Labor rate; Rs. 40/hr Leather; 50 meter @ Rs. 200/meter Gut; 300 meter @ Rs. 50/meter Graphite; 100 kg @ Rs. 200/kg.

Money has a time values, the value of a given sum of money depends on when the money is received. Time value of money is defined as the time dependent value of money because of changes in purchasing power (inflation or deflation) and real earning capacity of money over time. Since money has the ability to earn interest, its value increases with the time. Hence, it is the relationship between interest and time. Interest Calculation Interest is the price of money ser ces or it is the fee that is charged for the use of money. Interest depends upon the total amount of money and the length of time over which it is borrowed. Normally, it is calculated as an annual rate and interest payments are made by borrowers to lenders. There are two methods on interest calculation. (i) Simple interest (ii) Compound interest Simple Interest When the total amount of interest eamed is directly proportional to the initial principal amount, then the interest is said to be simple. Simple interest is not used in commercial practice at this modern time. For a deposit (P) at simple interest rate (x) for periods (N), the total earned interest amount (I) would be, PeNXR or, 1=P*xT*R (T= time in years) ‘The total amount available at the end of N periods i.e. total future amount (F) would be, F=P41 Compound Interest Whenever the interest charge for any interest period (year) is based on the principal loan amount plus any accumulated interest charges up to the beginning of that period, the interest is said to be compound. It is mostly used in practic Following notation is u ized for compounding interest calculations: i= Effective interest rate per interest period N= Number of compounding periods Present sum of money Future sum of money ‘A= End of period cash flows in a uniform series ‘According to this, future amount (F) would be : F = P(1+i) Nominal and Effective Interest Rates Nominal Interest Rate : Ifa financial institution uses a unit of time less than one year in length such asa month, a quarter etc., institution usually quotes the interest rate on the annual basis. In this situation, the basic annual rate of interest is known as the nominal interest rate and it is represented by . oe en camped ms be stated for any time less than one year such as, 6 months (semi annual), “ ee aay eed For example, if the interest rate is 12% per year and compound semiannua yer eee per interest period and the interest period is six month), in this situation, not ae 12%). But the actual rate of interest would be greater than 12% because of the compounding Effective Interest Rate ‘The actual rate of interest earned during one year is known as effective rate and it is also expressed ‘on the annual basis, unless specifically stated otherwise. Effective interest rate is represented by‘.

Hence, how do we measure and compare A os cash payments / received at different points of time? How do we kote whether we dela prefrto have Rs 20,000 today and Rs. 50,000 ten years from now or Rs.8,000 cach year for the next ten years? Beonomic equivalence describes the basic techniques for solving such questions, Economic equivalence refers to a cash flow whether a single payment or a series of payment that can be converted to an equivalent cash flow at any point of time (PW, FW, AW). For example we could find the equivalent future worth (FW) of a present amount (P) at interest rate (i for period (N) or we could determine the equivalent present worth (PW) of an equal payment (A) with given rate of interest (i). Economic equivalence is used commonly in engineering field to compare alternatives (projects). In engineering economy, we could compare the value of two proposals by finding the equivalent value of each at any common point of time, ions; receiving Rs. 1,000 today is not Economic equivalence is a combination of interest rate and time value of money to determine the different amounts of money at different points in time that are equal in economic value. As an illustration, if the interest rate is 6% per year, $100 today (present time) is equivalent to $106 one year from today. Amount accrued = 100 + 100(0.06) = 100(1 + 0.06) = $106 Five Types of Cash Flows Whenever we identify the pattem of business cash flow transaction, we able to classify such cash flow transactions into five different categories. 1. Single Cash Flow; it only deals two amounts i.e. present amount P and its future worth F, 2. Uniform (Equal) Payment Series; it is a series of equal cash flow at regular intervals like payment of loan in equal periodic installments (A) and deals with equivalence relationship between P, Fand A. Linear Gradient Series; it is a series of cash flow that vary with constant amount (increase or decrease) from any time period. For example, a series of annual payment that increases by Rs. 500 each year. Geometric Gradient Series; itis a series of cash flow that vary with constant rate (increase or decrease) from any time period. For example, a series of annual payment that increases by 10% each successive year. 5.
