Class slides

11 September 2012

In this class we give an overview of the "Engineering Economics" section of the course. We start by introducing the topic of the time-value of money.

13 September 2012

We continue considering the time value of money (TVM) and do some class exercises.

  • Slides: We cover slides 24 to 29. Slides 30 and 31 will feature in the next tutorial.
  • Audio and video recording of the class

14 September 2012

  • We wrap up the TVM section with one more example and then continue looking at Measures of Profitability: slides 32 to 42
  • Audio and video (bad sound!)

18 September 2012

  • We continue with various Measures of Profitability: slides 42 to 48
  • Audio and video recording of the class

20 September 2012

  • We will wrap up Measures of Profitability (slides 49 to 54); including jumping ahead to slides 88 to 90.
  • If you are looking for some more information regarding NPV vs DCFRR, please read this tutorial, or use this Google search to understand the subtleties.
  • Audio and video recording of the class

21 September 2012

25 September 2012

  • We will (re)cover the effect of depreciation and taxes on NPV, slides 78 to 83 and go through the tutorial/assignment 3. We will also discuss the SDL project selection procedure.
  • Audio and video recording of the class
  • Please see this PDF slide 80 from the course notes. Note the following relationships:
    • \( \text{G} = \text{C}+\text{E} \)
    • \(\text{H} = \text{A}-\text{B} - \text{G} = \text{Total income} - (\text{Eligible expenses}) - \text{Depreciation}\)
    • \(\text{J} = p_\text{tax} \cdot\text{H} = 0.35 \text{H} \)
    • \(\text{L = NCFAT} = \text{A} - \text{B} - \text{J} - \text{K} = \text{A} - (\text{B} + \text{K}) - \text{J} = \text{Total income} - (\text{Total expenses}) - \text{Tax paid}\)
    • \(\text{L} \) = this is the line we use for our NPV calculation
    • \(\text{M} = \displaystyle \frac{\text{L}}{\left(1+i_\text{MARR}\right)^n}\)
    • Important note: I've assumed that expenses are entered as positive numbers. This allows me to write, for example, \( \text{H} = \text{A} - \text{B} - \text{G} = \text{Total income} - (\text{Eligible expenses}) - \text{Depreciation}\). If you use negative signs in front of your dollars, which is what the spreadsheet in the course notes does, then adjust these formulas.

27 September 2012

  • We will cover sensitivity analysis on an NPV, slides 104 to 115
  • Audio and video recording of the class
  • The publication by Adams and Barton with NPV for polygeneration.
  • An alternative way to visualize sensitivity analysis data shown in class:
