Chapter 1 Engineering Economic Decisions
There are no end-of-chapter questions in this introductory chapter. However, the
following questions could be added as a part of instruction:
1. Ask students to review the contents of The Wall Street Journal for the past 3
months. Then, identify and categorize the types of investment decisions appeared
in the journal according to the types of strategic economics decisions discussed in
the text.
2. Work in small groups and brainstorm ideas about how a common appliance,
device or tool could be redesigned to improve it in some way. Identify the steps
involved and the economic factors, which you would need to consider prior to
making a decision to manufacture the redesigned product. A detailed design and
actual cost estimates are not required. Some items, which could be considered for
this redesign exercise, are: a shopping cart, telephone, can opener, screwdriver,
etc.
3. Many oil price forecasts in the early 2000 indicated that the price of oil in the year
2007 would not exceed $50 per barrel. What is the price of today? Why are these
prices so difficult to predict? Imagine what the consequences would be if you
used these optimistic estimates in your economic analysis in your early project
undertaking. What would be some practical ways to consider this type of variation
in economic analysis?
