2. 1. Interest: Cost of Money
The Interest Rate reflects the market rate, which takes into account the
earning power as well as the effect of inflation perceived in the market place.
The rate at which money earn interest should be higher than the inflation
rate to make any economic sense of the delayed purchase
The economic value of money depends on when it is received; because
money has both earning and purchasing power

4. Elements of Transactions
An = A discrete amount occurring at the end of some interest period
i = The interest rate for a period
N = Total number of interest periods
P = Initial amount at time zero, referred as Present Value (Present Worth)
F = Future some of money at the end of period
A = An end-of-period payment in a uniform series that continues for N
periods; where A1 = A2 = ----- = AN
Vn = An equivalent amount of money at the end of a specific period ‘n’ that considers
the effect of time value of money; that is, V0 = P and VN = F
5. Cash Flow Diagram
• Cash Flow Diagrams give a convenient summary of all
the important elements of a problem in a graphical
form to determine whether the statement of the
problem has been converted into its appropriate
parameters.
• Cash flow diagram represents time by a horizontal line
marked off with the number of interest periods.
• Upward arrows denote positive flows (receipts) and
downward arrows negative flows (payments). Arrows
represents net cash flows.
• End of period convention is the practice of placing all
cash flow transactions at the end of an interest period.
7. 2. Methods of Calculating Interest
1. Simple Interest
Total amount available in N periods
F = P+I = P(1+iN)
For a deposit of P at a simple interest rate i for N periods;
Total Interest
I = (iP)N
Interest earned only on the principal amount during each
interest period
2. Compound Interest
Total amount at the end of N periods
For a deposit of P at interest rate i, total amount at end of
period-1
P+iP = P(1+i)
Interest earned in each period is calculated based on total
amount at end of previous period.
Total amount = principal amount + accumulated interest
8. Illustration Question
If you deposit SR 1000 in a bank savings account
that pays interest rate at a rate of 10%
compounded annually. Assume that you don’t
withdraw the interest earned at the end of
each period (one year), but let it accumulate.
How much money would you have at the end
of year 3? Compare your answer with the
simple interest.
9. Answer
P = 1000 N = 3 i = 10% = 0.10
Simple Interest
F = P(1+iN) = 1000 [1+(0.10)3]
= 1000 x 1.3= 1300

11. Principles of Equivalence Calculation
1. Equivalence calculations made to compare
alternatives require a Common Time basis
(Present worth of future worth)
2. Equivalence depends on Interest Rate.
3. Equivalence calculations may require the
conversion of multiple payment cash flows to
a Single Cash flow
4. Equivalence is maintained regardless of
point of view (borrower or lender)

2. Equal (Uniform) Payment Series Equal cash flows at regular intervals
3. Linear-gradient Series Cash flows increases (decreases) at
uniform fixed amount
4. Geometric-gradient Series Cash flow increases (decreases) at
uniform fixed rate expressed as
percentages
5. Irregular Payment Series Cash flows are irregular

(Irregular) Series
We can find the Present Worth of any uneven
stream of payments by calculating the present
value of each individual payments and summing
the results
Once the Present Worth if found, we can
calculate other Equivalence Calculations

If an amount A is invested at the end of each period for N periods, the

will be the sum of the compound amounts of the individual

52. Illustration Question
Ansell, Inc., a medical device manufacturer uses compressed air in solenoids
and pressure switches in its machines to control various mechanical
movements. Over the years, the manufacturing floor has changed layouts
numerous times. With each new layout, more piping was added to the
compressed-air delivery system to accommodate new locations of
manufacturing machines. None of the extra, unused old pipe was capped
or removed; thus the current compressed-air delivery system is inefficient
and fraught with leaks. Because of the leaks, the compressor is expected
to run 70% of the time that the plant will be in operation during the
upcoming year. This will require 260kWh of electricity at a rate of SR
0.05/kWh for 6000 hours. The Plant runs 250 days a year, 24 hours per
day. If Ansell continues to operate the current air delivery system, the
compressor run time will increase by 7% per year for the next 4 years
because of ever-worsening leaks (After 5 years, the current system will not
be able to meet the plant’s compressed air requirements, so it will have to
be replaced). If Ansell decides to replace all of the old piping now, it will
cost SR 28,570. The compressor will still run the same number of days;
however, it will run 23% (or will have 70% (1-0.23) = 53.9% usage during
the day) less because of the reduced air pressure loss. If Ansell’s interest
rate is 12%, is the machine worth fixing now? (Calculate A1 and P)
53. Answer
Current Power Consumption (g) = 7%
i = 12% = 0.12
N = 5
Step: 1
Calculate the cost of power consumption of
current piping for 1st year
Power Cost = (% of operating days) (Days operating per year) (Hours
per day) (kWh) ($/KWh)
= (70%) (250) (24) (260) (0.05) = SR 54,600
54. 54,600
Step: 2
Each year, the annual power cost increase @ 7%. The anticipated
power cost over 5 years is as shown in the diagram below. The
equivalent present lump-sum cost @ 12% for this geometric
gradient series is:

If Ansell replaces the current compressed air system with the

The equivalent Present lump-sum cost at 12% is:
