Foundations of Engineering Economy v v v




Basic Concepts
v




1.1 Financial units for economically best. v v v v




1.2 Morale,goodwill, dependability, acceptance, friendship, convenience, aesthetics, etc.
v v v v v v v

v v v v v v v v v v v v




Some measuresarepresentworth,rateofreturn,paybackperiod,benefit/cost
v v v v v v v v v v v




ratio.

1.4 The color I like, best fuel rating, roomiest, safest, most stylish, fastest, etc.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




1.5 Sustainability: Intangible; installation cost: tangible; transportation cost: v v v v v v




tangible; simplicity: intangible; taxes: tangible; resale value: tangible;
v v v v v v v v




morale:intangible;
v v




rate of return: tangible; dependability: intangible; inflation: tangible; acceptance by others:

vintangible; ethics: intangible. v v




1.6 Examplesare: house purchase; car purchase, credit card(whichones to use); personal loans
(and their rate of interest and repayment schedule); investment decisions of all types; whento

Ethics
1.7 This problem can be used as a discussion topic for a team-based exercise in class.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




(a) Most obvious are the violations of Canons number 4 and 5. Unfaithfulness to the client and
deceptive acts are clearly present.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



v v v v v




(b) The Code for Engineer’s is only partially useful to the owners in determining sound
basessince thecontractoris not an engineer. Much ofthelanguage of the Code is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




orientedtowardrepresentation,qualifications,etc.,notspecificacts ofdeceitand
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




fraudulent behavior.Code sections may be somewhatdifficultto interpret in
v v v v v v v v v v v




constructionofahouse.
v v v v v v v v v v v




v v v v




(c) Probably a better source would be a Code for Contractor’s or consulting with a real
estate attorney.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v



v v




1.8 Many sections could be identified. Some are: I.b; II.2.a and b; III.9.a and b.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




1.9 Example actions are: v v




• Try to talk them out of doing it now, explaining itis stealing
v v v v v v v v v v v v




• Try to get them to pay for their drinks
v v v v v v v v

, • Pay for all the drinks himself
v v v v v




• Walk away and not associate with them again
v v v v v v v




1.10 This is structured to be a discussion question; many responses are acceptable. Responses can
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




vary from the ethical (stating the truth and accepting the consequences) to unethical (continuing to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




deceive himself and the instructor and devise some on-the-spot excuse).
v v v v v v v v v v




Lessons can be learned from the experience. A few of them are:
v v v v v v v v v v v




• Think before he cheats again. v v v v




• Think about the longer-term consequences of unethical decisions. v v v v v v v




• Face ethical-dilemma situations honestly and make better decisions in real time.
v v v v v v v v v v




Alternatively, Claude may learn nothing from the experience and continue his unethical v v v v v v v v v v v




practices.

Interest Rate and Rate of Return v v v v v




1.11 Extra amount received = 2865 - 25.80*100 = $285
v v v v v v v v




Rate of return = 285/2580 v v v v v




= 0.110 (11%) v




Total invested + fee 2865 + 50 = $2915 v v v v v v v v




v Amount required for 11% return = 2915*1.11 v v v v v v




= $3235.65 v




1.12 (a) Payment = 1,600,000(1.10)(1.10) = $1,936,000
v v v v v




(b) Interest = total amount paid – principal
v v v v v v v




= 1,936,000- 1,600,000 v v




= $336,000 v




1.13 i = [(5,184,000 – 4,800,000)/4,800,000]*100% = 8% per year
v v v v v v v v




1.14 Interest rate = interest paid/principal v v v v




= (312,000/2,600,000) v




= 0.12 (12%) v




1.15 i = (1125/12,500)*100 = 9% i
v v v v v




= (6160/56,000)*100 = 11% i
v v v v v




= (7600/95,000)*100 = 8%
v v v v




The $56,000 investment has the highest rate of return
v v v v v v v v




1.16 Interest on loan = 45,800(0.10) = $4,580 v v v v v v




Default insurance = $900 v v v




Set-upfee=45,800(0.01) =458 v v v v v v




Total amount paid = 4,580 + 900 + 458 = $5938 v v v v v v v v v v
