Economic Equivalence
Economic Equivalence exits between cash flows that have the same
economic effect and could be traded for one another in the financial market
place

Simple Interest
the practice of charging an interest rate only to an initial sum (principal
amount).
Compound Interest
the practice of charging an interest rate to an initial sum and to any previously
accumulated interest that has not been withdrawn.
P=$1,000

I1=$50.00
I2=$52.50
I3=$55.13
Owe at t = 3 years:
$1,000 + 50.00 + 52.50 + 55.13
= $1,157.63 8
Terminology and Symbol
P = value or amount of money at a time designated as the present or
time 0.
Also, P is referred to as present worth (PW), present value (PV), net present
value (NPV), discounted cash flow (DCF), and capitalized cost (CC); dollars
F = value or amount of money at some future time.
Also, F is called future worth (FW) and future value (FV); dollars
A = series of consecutive, equal, end-of-period amounts of money.
Also, A is called the annual worth (AW) and equivalent uniform annual worth
(EUAW); dollars per year, dollars per month
n = number of interest periods; years, months, days
i = interest rate or rate of return per time period; percent per year,
percent per month
t = time, stated in periods; years, months, days, etc

Cash Flow
CASH INFLOWS
• Money flowing INTO the firm from outside
• Upward arrows ():
• Revenues, Savings, Salvage Values, etc.
CASH OUTFLOWS
• Disbursements
• Downward arrows ():
• First costs of assets, labor, salaries, taxes paid, utilities, rents, interest,
etc.
END-OF-PERIOD CONVENTION
placing all cash flow transactions at the end of an interest period.
10
Types of Cash Flows
1. Single cash flow
5. Irregular series
11
Single-Payment Factors (F/P and P/F)
1. Find F, given P , i, N
“Single-payment compound amount factor” F P(1 i) N
F
F = P (1+i)N = P (F/P,i,N) F P( F / P, i, N )
Ex: If you had $2,000 now an invested it at
10%, how much would it be worth in 8 years 0
N
P
2. Find P, given F , i , N,
“Single-payment present worth factor”
P F(1 i) N F
P = F (1+ i )-N = F (P/F,i,N)
P F( P / F, i, N )
Ex: Suppose that $1,000 is to be received in 5
years. At an annual interest rate of 12%, what
is the present worth of this amount? 0

Shifted Uniform Series
A shifted series is one whose present worth point in time is
NOT t = 0.
Shifted either to the left of “0” or to the right of t = “0”.
Dealing with a uniform series:
The PW point is always one period to the left of the first series
value
No matter where the series falls on the time line.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
i = 10%
A = -$500/year

Series with other single cash flow
It is common to find cash flows that are combinations of series and
other single cash flows.
Solve for the series present worth values then move to t = 0.
Solve for the PW at t = 0 for the single cash flows.
Add the equivalent PW’s at t = 0.
F4 = $300
Consider:
A = $500
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
i = 10%
F5 = -$400 17
Ex: Final Exam (2004)
An engineering student who will soon receive his B.S. degree is considering
continuing his formal education by working toward an M.S. degree. The
student estimates that his average earnings for the next 6 years with a B.S.
degree will be $40,000 per year. If he can get an M.S. degree in one year,
his earnings should average $44,000 per year for the subsequent 5 years.
His earnings while working on the M.S. degree will be negligible and his
additional expenses to be paid out over this year will be $10,000. The
student estimates that his average per-year earnings in the two decades
following the initial 6-year period will be $42,000 and $45,000, if he does
not stay for an M.S. degree. If he receives an M.S. degree his earnings per
year in the two decades can be stated as $42,000 + x and $45,000 + x.
The interest rate is assumed at 15%.
(a) Draw cash flow diagrams for two options; working and studying. The
diagram must be clearly labeled.
(b) Find the value of x for which the extra investment in formal education will
pay for itself. In other words, find the value of x in which the two options
(working and studying) are break-even and equivalent. Note: Use up to 4
decimal points throughout your calculation.

Evaluating Alternatives
Revenue/Cost – the alternatives consist of cash inflow and
cash outflows
Select the alternative with the maximum economic value

Evaluating Alternatives:
Present Worth Analysis (PW)
A process of obtaining the equivalent worth of future cash flows to
some point in time
22
Present Worth Analysis of
Equal-Life Alternatives
Step 1: Calculate PW of each alternative at MARR
Ex: Assume 2 investment alternatives with the same useful life of 4 years.
Due to limited investment fund, the 2 alternatives are mutually exclusive.
Based on the following information, which one should we select? Assume
MARR = 10%
A B
Capital Investment $60,000 73,000
Annual Profit $22,000 $26,225
23
Also see Ex 5.1
Ex: PW Analysis (Equal-life)
24
Present Worth Analysis of
Different Life Alternatives
Comparison must be made over equal time periods
Compare over the least common multiple, LCM, for their
lives
Assume repeatability. Alternative will repeat the same
manner over each life cycle
Cash flow estimates are the same in every life cycle
25
Also see Ex 5.2
Ex: PW Analysis (Different-life)
Alternative A Alternative B
Capital Investment $3,500 $5,000
Annual Revenue $1,900 $2,500
Annual Expense $645 $1,020
Useful Life 4 years 6 years
Market Value at the end of $0 $0
useful life
Assume MARR 10% per year.
