  1. L3: Economic Equivalence ECON 320 Engineering Economics Mahmut Ali GOKCE Industrial Systems Engineering Computer Sciences

  2. Economic Equivalence • What do we mean by “economic equivalence?” • Why do we need to establish an economic equivalence? • How do we establish an economic equivalence?

  3. Economic Equivalence • Economic equivalence exists between cash flows that have the same economic effect and could therefore be traded for one another. • Even though the amounts and timing of the cash flows may differ, the appropriate interest rate makes them equal.

  4. F 0 N P Equivalence from Personal Financing Point of View • If you deposit P dollars today for N periods at i, you will haveF dollars at the end of period N.

  5. Alternate Way of Defining Equivalence P • F dollars at the end of period N is equal to a single sum P dollars now, if your earning power is measured in terms of interest rate i. 0 N = F 0 N

  6. Practice Problem At 8% interest, what is the equivalent worth of $2,042 now 5 years from now? If you deposit $2,042 today in a savings account that pays 8% interest annually. how much would you have at the end of 5 years? $2,042 0 1 2 3 4 5 3 F = 0 5

  7. Solution

  8. $2,042 $3,000 0 5 Example 2.2 At what interest rate would these two amounts be equivalent? i = ?

  9. $2,042 $3,000 0 5 Equivalence Between Two Cash Flows • Step 1: Determine the base period, say, year 5. • Step 2: Identify the interest rate to use. • Step 3: Calculate equivalence value.

  10. F P $2,042 $2,205 $2,382 $2,572 $2,778 $3,000 0 1 2 3 4 5 Example - Equivalence Various dollar amounts that will be economically equivalent to $3,000 in 5 years, given an interest rate of 8%.

  11. $200 $150 $120 $100 $100 $80 3 5 0 1 2 4 Example 2.3 V = 3 5 0 1 2 4 Compute the equivalent lump-sum amount at n = 3 at 10% annual interest.

  12. V $200 $150 $120 $100 $100 $80 3 5 0 1 2 4 Approach

  13. V $200 $150 $120 $100 $100 $80 3 5 0 1 2 4

  14. Practice Problem 2P • How many years would it take an investment to double at 10% annual interest? 0 N = ? P

  15. 2P 0 N = ? P Solution

  16. Rule of 72 • Approximating how long it will take for a sum of money to double

  17. $1,000 $500 A 0 1 2 3 C C B 0 1 2 3 Practice Problem Given: i = 10%, Find: C that makes the two cash flow streams to be indifferent

  18. $1,000 $500 A 0 1 2 3 C C B 0 1 2 3 Approach • Step 1: Select the base period to use, say n = 2. • Step 2: Find the equivalent lump sum value at n = 2 for both A and B. • Step 3: Equate both equivalent values and solve for unknown C.

  19. $1,000 $500 A 0 1 2 3 C C B 0 1 2 3 Solution • For A: • For B: • To Find C:

  20. $1,000 $500 A 0 1 2 3 $502 $502 $502 B 0 1 2 3 Practice Problem At what interest rate would you be indifferent between the two cash flows?

  21. Approach • Step 1: Select the base period to compute the equivalent value (say, n = 3) • Step 2: Find the net worth of each at n = 3. $1,000 $500 A 0 1 2 3 $502 $502 $502 B 0 1 2 3

  22. Establish Equivalence at n = 3 • Find the solution by trial and error, say i = 8%
