CHAPTER 2
Solutions to Chapter-End Problems
A. Key Concepts
Simple Interest:
2.1
P = 3000
N = 6 months
i = 0.09 per year
= 0.09/12 per month, or 0.09/2 per six months
P + I = P + PiN = P(1 + iN)
= 3000[1 + (0.09/12)(6)] = 3135
or
= 3000[1 + (0.09/2)(1)] = 3135
The total amount due is $3135, which is $3000 for the principal amount
and $135 in interest.
2.2
I = 150
N = 3 months
i = 0.01 per month
P = I/(iN) = 150/[(0.01)(3)] = 5000
A principal amount of $5000 will yield $150 in interest at the end of 3
months when the interest rate is 1% per month.
2.3
P = 2000
N = 5 years
i = 0.12 per year
F = P(1+i)N = 2000(1+0.12)5 = 3524.68
The bank account will have a balance of $3525 at the end of 5 years.
2.4
(a) P = 21 000
i = 0.10 per year
N = 2 years
F = P(1+i)N = 21000(1+0.10)2 = 25 410
The balance at the end of 2 years will be $25 410.

Chapter 2 – Time Value of Money
(b) P = 2 900
i = 0.12 per year = 0.01 per month
N = 2 years = 24 months
F = P(1+i)N = 2900(1+0.01)24 = 3682.23
The balance at the end of 24 months (2 years) will be $3682.23.
2.5
From: F = P(1 + i)N
P = F/(1 + i)N = 50 000/(1 + 0.01)20 = 40977.22
Greg should invest about $40 977.
2.6
F = P(1 + i)N
50 000 = 20 000(1 + i)20
(1+i)20 = 5/2
i = (5/2)1/20 โ 1 = 0.04688 = 4.688% per quarter = 18.75% per year
The investment in mutual fund would have to pay at least 18.75% nominal
interest, compounded quarterly.

The book value of the company is $4.5 based on recent financial
statements. The market value is $7 million, assuming that the bid is real
and would actually be paid.
2.14
Since sewing machine technology does not change very quickly nor does
the required functionality, functional loss will probably not be a major
factor in the depreciation of this type of asset. Left unused, but cared for,
the machine will lose some value, and hence time-related loss may be
present to some extent. The greatest source of depreciation on a machine
will likely be use-related and due to wear and tear on the machine as it is
operated.
2.15
A switch will generally not suffer wear and tear due to use, and thus userelated physical loss is not likely to be a big factor. Nor will there likely be
a physical loss due to the passage of time. The primary reason for
depreciation will be functional loss – the price of a similar new unit will
likely have dropped due to development of new technology and
competition in the marketplace.
2.16
The depreciation is certainly not due to use related physical loss, or other
non-physical losses in functionality. The depreciation is a time-related
physical loss because it has not being used and maintained over time.

I = 190.67
P = 550
N = 4 1/3 = 13/3 years
i = I/(PN) = 190.67/[550(13/3)] = 0.08
The simple interest rate is 8% per year.
2.23
F = P(1 + i)N
50 000 = 20 000(1 + 0.01)N
(1.01)N = 5/2
N = ln(5/2)/ln(1.01) = 92.09 quarters = 23.02 years
Greg would have to invest his money for about 23.02 years to reach his
target.
2.24
F = P(1 + i)N
= 20 000(1 + 0.01)20 = 24 403.80
11

Chapter 2 – Time Value of Money
Greg would have accumulated about $24 404.
2.25
(a) P = 5000
i = 0.05 per six months
F = 8000
From: F = P(1 + i)N
N = ln(F/P)/ln(1 + i) = ln(8000/5000)/ln(1 + 0.05) = 9.633
The answer that we get is 9.633 (six-month) periods. But what does this
mean? It means that after 9 compounding periods, the account will not yet
have reached $8000. (You can verify yourself that the account will contain
$7757). Since compounding is done only every six months, we must, in
fact, wait 10 compounding periods, or 5 years, for the deposit to be worth
more than $8000. At that time, the account will hold $8144.
(b) P = 5000
r = 0.05 (for the full year)
F = 8000
i = r/m = 0.05/2 = 0.025 per six months
From: F = P(1 + i)N
N = ln(F/P)/ln(1 + i) = ln(8000/5000)/ln(1 + 0.025) = 19.03
We must wait 20 compounding periods, or 10 years, for the deposit to be
worth more than $8000.
2.26
P = 500
F = 708.31
i = 0.01 per month
From: F = P(1 + i)N
N = ln(F/P)/ln(1 + i) = ln(708.31/500)/ln(1 + 0.01) = 35.001
The deposit was made 35 months ago.
2.27
(a) P = 1000
i = 0.1
N = 20
F = P(1 + i)N = 1000(1+0.1)20 = 6727.50
12
Copyright ยฉ 2016 Pearson Canada Inc.
Chapter 2 – Time Value of Money
About $6728 could be withdrawn 20 years from now.
(b) F = PiN = 1000(0.1)(20) = 2000
Without compounding, the investment account would only accumulate
$2000 over 20 years.
2.28
Let P = X and F = 2X.
(a) By substituting F = 2X and P = X into the formula, F = P + I = P + PiN,
we get
2X = X + XiN = X(1 + iN)
2 = 1 + iN
iN = 1
N = 1/i = 1/0.11 = 9.0909
It will take 9.1 years.
(b) From F = P(1 + i)N, we get N = ln(F/P)/ln(1 + i). By substituting F = 2X
and P = X into this expression of N,
N = ln(2X/X)/ln(1 + 0.11) = ln(2)/ln(1.11) = 6.642
Since compounding is done every year, the amount will not double until
the 7th year.
(c) Given r = 0.11 per year, the effective interest rate is i = er โ 1 = 0.1163.
From F = P(1 + i)N, we get N = ln(F/P)/ln(1 + i). By substituting F = 2X and
P = X into this expression of N,
N = ln(2X/X)/ln(1 + 0.1163) = ln(2)/ln(1.1163) = 6.3013
Since interest is compounded continuously, the amount will double after
6.3 years.
2.29
(a) r = 0.25 and m = 2
i e = (1 + r/m)m โ 1 = (1 + 0.25/2)2 โ 1 = 0.26563
The effective rate is approximately 26.6%.
(b) r = 0.25 and m = 4
i e = (1 + r/m)m โ 1 = (1 + 0.25/4)2 โ 1 = 0.27443
13
Copyright ยฉ 2016 Pearson Canada Inc.
Chapter 2 – Time Value of Money
The effective rate is approximately 27.4%.
(c) i e = er โ 1 = e0.25 โ 1 = 0.28403
The effective rate is approximately 28.4%.
2.30
(a) i e = 0.15 and m = 12
From: i e = (1 + r/m)m โ 1
r = m[(1 + i e )1/m โ 1] = 12[(1 + 0.15)1/12 โ 1] = 0.1406
The nominal rate is 14.06%.
(b) i e = 0.15 and m = 365
From: i e = (1 + r/m)m โ 1
r = m[(1 + i e )1/m โ 1] = 365[(1 + 0.15)1/365 โ 1] = 0.13979
The nominal rate is 13.98%.
(c) For continuous compounding, we must solve for r in i e = er โ 1:
r = ln(1 + i e ) = ln(1 + 0.15) = 0.13976
The nominal rate is 13.98%.
2.31
F = P(1 + i)N
14 800 = 665(1 + i)64
i = 0.04967
The rate of return on this investment was 5%.
2.32
The present value of X is calculated as follows:
F = P(1 + i)N
3500 = X(1 + 0.075)5
X = 2437.96
The value of X in 10 years is then:
F = 2437.96(1 + 0.075/365)3650 = 4909.12
14
Copyright ยฉ 2016 Pearson Canada Inc.
Chapter 2 – Time Value of Money
The present value of X is $2438. In 10 years, it will be $4909.
2.33
r = 0.02 and m = 365
i e = (1 + r/m)m โ 1 = (1 + 0.02/365)365 โ 1 = 0.0202
The effective interest rate is about 2.02%.
2.34
Effective interest for continuous interest account:
i e = er โ 1 = e0.0599 โ 1 = 0.08318 = 6.173%
Effective interest for daily interest account:
i e = (1 + r/m)m โ 1 = (1 + 0.08/365)365 โ 1 = 0.08328 = 8.328%
No, your money will earn less with continuous compounding.
2.35
i e (weekly) = (1 + r/m)m โ 1 = (1 + 0.055/52)52 โ 1 = 0.0565 = 5.65%
i e (monthly) = (1 + r/m)m โ 1 = (1 + 0.07/12)12 โ 1 = 0.0723 = 7.23%
2.36
i e (Victory Visa) = (1 + r/m)m โ 1 = (1 + 0.26/365)365 โ 1 = 0.297 = 29.7%
i e (Magnificent Master Card) = (1 + 0.28/52)52 โ 1 = 0.322 = 32.2%
i e (Amazing Express) = (1 + 0.3/12)12 โ 1 = 0.345 = 34.5%
Victory Visa has the lowest effective interest rate, so based on interest
rate, Victory Visa seems to offer the best deal.
2.37
First, determine the effective interest rate that May used to get $2140.73
from $2000. Then, determine the nominal interest rate associated with the
effective interest:
F = P(1 + i e )N
2140.73 = 2000(1 + i e )1
i e = 0.070365
i e = er โ 1
0.070365 = er โ 1
r = 0.068
The correct effective interest rate is then:
i e = (1 + r/m)m โ 1 = (1 + 0.068/12)12 โ 1 = 0.07016
The correct value of $2000 a year from now is:
F = P(1 + i e )N = 2000(1 + 0.07016)1 = $2140.32

Since the cash flow diagrams do not include the time factor (i.e., interest),
it is difficult to say which investment may be better by just looking at the
diagrams. However, one can observe that investment A offers uniform
cash inflows whereas B alternates between positive and negative cash
flows for the first 10 months. On the other hand, investment A requires
$2400 up front, so it may not be a preferred choice for someone who does
not have a lump sum of money now.

Market equivalence does not apply as the cost of borrowing and lending is
not the same. Mathematical equivalence does not hold as neither 2% nor
4% is the rate of exchange between the $100 and the $110 one year from

Decisional equivalence holds since June is indifferent between the two

compounded monthly (lending) or 8% compounded daily (borrowing) is
the rate of exchange representing the change in the house price ($110

(b) Having determined P = $2225, then we can figure out the size of the
deposit at the end of years 1, 2 and 3.
If you had not invested in the fixed interest rate investment, you would
have obtained interest rates of 8%, 10%, and 14% for each of the three
years. The table below shows how much the initial deposit would have
been worth at the end of each of the three years if you had been able to
reinvest each year at the new rate. Because of the surge in interest rates
in the third year, with 20/20 hindsight, you would have been better off (by
about $60) not to have locked in at 10% for three years.

money. Interest rate j can only be determined by having Marlee choose
between X and Y to determine at which interest rate Marlee is indifferent
between the choice. Interest rate k probably does not exist for Martlee,

You can assume that one month is the shortest interval of time for which the
quoted rental rates and salaries apply. Assembling the batteries will require 24
person-months, and the associated rental space. To maximize the interest you
receive from your savings, and minimize the interest you pay on your line of
credit, you should defer this expenditure till as late in the year as possible. So
you leave your money in the bank till December 1, then purchase the necessary
materials and rent the industrial space. Assume that salaries will be paid at the
end of the month.
As of December 1, you have $100 000(1.005)11 = $105 640 in the bank.
You need to spend $360 000 on materials and $240 000 to rent space. After
spending all you have in the bank, you therefore need to borrow an additional
$494 360 against your line of credit.
As of December 31, you owe $494 360(1.01) = $499 304 to the bank, and you
owe $240 000 in salaries. So after depositing the government cheque and paying
these debts, you have
1 200 000 โ 499 304 โ 240 000 = $460 696 in the bank.
This example illustrates one of the reasons why Just-in-Time (โJITโ) manufacture
has become popular in recent years: You want to minimize the time that capital is
tied up. An additional motivation for JIT would become evident if you were to
consider the cost of storing the finished batteries before delivery.
Be aware, however, that the JIT approach also carries risks. December is
typically a time when labour, space, and credit are in high demand so there is a
possibility that the resources you need will be unavailable or more expensive
than expected, and there will then be no time to recover. We will look at methods
for managing risk in Chapter 12.

We want to solve the equation
Future worth = Present worth (1+i)N, where the future worth is twice the present
worth.
So we have
2 = (1+i)N
Taking logarithms on both sides, we get
N = log(2) / log(1+i)
For small values of i, log (1+i) is approximately i (this can be deduced from the
Taylor series).
And log(2) = 0.69315. So, expressing i as a percentage rather than a fraction, we
have:
N = 69.3 / i
Since this is only an approximation, we will adjust 69.3 to an easily factored
integer, 72, thus obtaining
N = 72 / i

Five hundred years takes us beyond the scope of the tables in Appendix A, so
we employ the formula
P = F / (1+i)N
to find the present value of the potential loss.
In this case, we have P = $1 000 000 000 / (1.05)500 = $0.025, or two-and-a-half
cents. This implies that it is not worth going to any trouble to make the waste
repository safe for that length of time.
This is a rather troubling conclusion, because the example is not imaginary; the

use for that purposeโengineering economicsโgives answers that seem
irrational.
2S.5
There is no โrightโ answer to this question, which is intended for discussion in
class or in a seminar. Some of the arguments that might be advanced are as
follows:
One option is to say, โYou cannot play the numbers game with human lives.
Each life is unique and of inestimable value. Attempting to treat lives on the same
basis as dollars is both cold-blooded and ridiculous.โ
But this really wonโt do. Medical administrators, for example, do have a
responsibility to save lives, and they have limited resources to meet this
responsibility. If they are to apportion their resources rationally, they must be
prepared to compare the results of different strategies.
To support the point of view that future lives saved should be discounted by
some percentage in comparison with present lives, the following arguments
might be offered:
1.
Suppose we make the comparison fifty years in the future. If we spend our
resources on traffic police, we will have saved the lives of those who would have
died in accidents, and, because we spent the money that way, the world of fifty
years hence will also contain the descendants of those who would have died. So
the total number of live humans will be increased by more than fifty.
(This argument assumes that creating a new life is of the same value as
preserving an existing life. We do not usually accept that assumption; for
example, many governments may promote population control by limiting the
number of children born, but it would be unacceptable to control the population
by killing off the old and infirm. To give another example, if I am accused of
murder, it would not be an acceptable defence to argue that I have fathered two
children, and have thus made a greater contribution to society than a law-abiding
bachelor.)
2.
Just as I charge you interest on a loan because of the uncertainty of what
might happen between now and the due dateโyou could go bankrupt, I could
die, etc.โso we should discount future lives saved because we cannot anticipate
how the world will change before the saving is realized. For example, a cure for
cancer could be discovered ten years from now, and then all the money spent on
the anti-smoking campaign will have been wasted, when it could have been used
to save lives lost in highway accidents.
3.
We should not be counting numbers of lives, but years of human life. Thus
it is better to spend the money on preventing accidents, because these kill
people of all ages, while cancer and heart disease are mostly diseases of later
28

Chapter 2 – Time Value of Money
life; so more years of human life are saved by the first strategy.
4.
The world population is growing. Thus, for humanity as a whole, losing a
fixed number of lives can more easily be born in the future than it can now. (This
is an extension of the argument that it is worse to kill a member of an
endangered species than of a species that is plentiful.)

โข Interest (I) is compensation for giving up use of money
โ difference between the amount loaned and the amount repaid
โข An amount of money today, P, can be related to a future
amount, F, by the interest amount I, or interest rate i:
F = P + I = P + Pi = P(1 + i)
โข Right to P at beginning is exchanged for right to
F at end, where F = P(1+i)

2.4 Effective and Nominal Interest Rates
โข Interest rates stated for some period, usually a year
โข Computation based on shorter compounding sub-periods

โ The nominal interest rate stated for the full period.
โ The effective interest rate that results from the
compounding based on the subperiods.
โข Unless otherwise noted, rates are nominal annual rates
โข Suppose: r is nominal rate stated for a period (1 year)

โข Effective interest rate, ie, gives same future amount, F,
over the full period as when sub-period interest rate, iS, is
compounded over m sub-periods F = P(1 + iS)m = P(1 + ie)
EXAMPLE 2.6 Cardex Credit Card Co. charges a nominal 24
percent interest on overdue accounts, compounded daily.
What is the effective interest rate?
Since F = P(1 + iS)m = P(1 + ie), ie = (1 + iS)m โ 1
where is = r/m = 0.24/365 = 0.0006575
then ie = (1 + iS)m โ 1 = (1 + 0.0006575)365 – 1 = 0.271

2.5 Continuous Compounding
โข Suppose that the nominal interest rate is 12% and
interest is compounded semi-annually
โข We compute the effective interest rate as follows:
where r = 0.12, m = 2
is = r/m = 0.12/2 = 0.06
ie = (1 + iS)m โ 1 = (1 + 0.06)2 – 1 = .1236 (12.36%)
What if interest were compounded monthly?
ie = (1 + iS)m โ 1 = (1 + 0.01)12 โ 1 = 0.1268 (12.68%)

2.7 Depreciation
โข
โข
โข
โข
โข
Projects involve investment in assets (buildings,
equipmentโฆ) that are put to productive use
Assets lose value, or depreciate, over time
Depreciation taken into account when a firm states the
value of its assets in a Financial Statement (Chapter 6)
Also part of decision as to when to replace an aging
asset as described in Chapter 7
It also impacts taxation as shown in Chapter 8

2.7.1 Reasons for Depreciation
โข
Assets depreciate for a variety of reasons:
1. Use related physical loss: usually measured in
units of production, kilometres driven, hours of use
2. Time related physical loss: usually measured in
units of time as an unused car will rust and lose
value over time
3. Functional loss: usually expressed in terms of
function lost including fashion, legislative (i.e.
pollution control, safety devices) and technical

2.7.2 Value of an Asset
โข
โข
โข
Depreciation models are used to model
(estimate) value of an asset at any point in time.
Market Value: value of asset in the open market
Book value: value of an asset calculated from a
depreciation model for accounting purposes.
โ This value may be different from the market value.
โ may be several book values given for the same asset
(i.e. different for taxation vs. shareholder reports)
โข Salvage Value: either actual or estimated value
at end of its useful life (when sold)
โข Scrap Value: either actual or estimated value at
end of life (when broken up for material value)

2.7.2 Value of an Asset (cont)
To state the book value of an asset a good model of
depreciation is desirable for the following reasons:
1. To make managerial decisions itโs important to know
the value of owned assets (i.e. collateral for a loan)
2. One needs an estimate of the value of assets for
planning purposes (i.e. keep an asset or replace)
3. Tax legislation requires company tax to be paid on
profits. Rules are legislated on how to calculate
income and expenses that includes depreciation

2.7.3 Straight-Line Depreciation
โข
Straight line depreciation (SLD) assumes rate of
loss of assetโs value is constant over its useful
life.
P = purchase price
S = salvage value at the end of N periods.
N = useful life of asset
โข
โข
โข
Advantage: easy to calculate and understand.
Disadvantage: most assets do not depreciate at
a constant rate.
Hence, market values often differ from book
values when SLD is used.

2.8 Equivalence
โข Engineering Economics utilises โtime value of moneyโ
to compare certain values at different points in time.
โข Three concepts of equivalence are distinguished
underlying comparisons of costs/benefits at different
times:
1. Mathematical Equivalence
2. Decisional Equivalence
3. Market Equivalence
Copyright ยฉ 2017 Pearson Canada Inc.
2 – 30
Engineering Economics, Sixth Edition
2.8 Equivalence (contโd)
โข Mathematical Equivalence: Decision-makers exchange
P dollars now for F dollars N periods from now using rate i
and the mathematical relationship:
F = P(1 + i)N
โข Decisional Equivalence: Decision-maker is indifferent as
to P dollars now or F dollars N periods from now.
โ We infer decision-makerโs implied interest rate
โข Market Equivalence: Decision-makers exchange
different cash flows in a market at zero cost.
โ In a financial market, individuals/companies are
lending and borrowing money.
โ i.e. buying a car and owing $15 000; a lender provides
the $15 000 now for $500/month over 36months.

2.8 Equivalence (contโd)
โข For the remainder of this text, we assume:
1. market equivalence holds
2. decisional equivalence can be expressed in
monetary terms
โข If these two assumptions are reasonably valid,
then mathematical equivalence can be used
โข Accurate model of costs/benefits relationship
