Engineering Economy for Investment and Decision Making May 26, 2009

INTRODUCTION

For operational purposes, there are some alternatives for technical designs that can be developed. After technical analysis has been conducted for the available alternatives then the economic analysis will take a turn to find the most economical one.

Since a technical design will have significant cost and expense in both investment and operational and it will be expected to last in a long period of time, it will be important to see every alternative from the concept of Time Value of Money in form of its Value Equivalent.
