Comparing Alternative
Chapter Title Objective
To develop and demonstrate the economic analysis and comparison of mutually exclusive design alternative for an engineering project.
Dealing with UncertaintyTo present and discuss nonprobabilistic methods that are helpful in analyzing the economic consequences of engineering project where uncertainty exists.
Chapter 6-Comparing Alternative-
Most engineering projects can be accomplished by more than one feasible design alternative.
Analysis and comparison of the feasible Alternatives
Selection of the preferred alternative
Step 5
Step 6
A seven-step procedure for accomplishing engineering economy: (Ch 1)
Present Worth (PW)
Five of the basic methods for analyzing cash flow: (Ch 5)
Future Worth (FW)Annual Worth (AW)
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)External Rate of Return (ERR)
The basic policy for the comparison the comparison of mutually exclusive alternative can be demonstrated with two example

The lowest annual expenses obtained by investing the additional $35,000 of capital in alternative D
Ensuring a comparable basis for their analysis requires that any economic impacts of these differences be included in the estimated cash flows for the alternatives
Operational Performance
Output capacity, speed, thrust, heat dissipation, reliability, fuel efficiency, setup time, and so on.
Quality
The number of defect-free (nondefective) units produced per period of the present of defective units (reject rate).
Useful LifeCapital investment, revenue changes, various annual expenses or cost savings, and so on.
Two rules (Ch 2) for facilitating the correct analysis and comparison of mutually exclusive when the time value money is not a factor (extended for the time value of money)
Rule 1:When revenues and other economic benefits are present and very among the alternatives, choose the alternative that maximizes overall profitability.
Rule 2:When revenues and other economic benefits are not present or are constant among the alternatives, consider only the cost and select the alternative that minimizes the total cost.
The Study (analysis) period, sometimes called the planning horizon, is the selected time period over which mutually exclusive alternative are compared
Case 1Useful lives are the same for all alternatives and equal to the study period.
Case 2Useful lives are different among the alternatives, and at least not match study period.
Two types of assumptions used for these comparison
1. Repeatability assumptions involves two main conditions:a. The study period over which the alternatives are being compared is either indefinitely long or equal
to a common multiple of the lives of the alternatives.b. The economic consequences that are estimated to happen in an alternative’s initial useful life span
will also happen in all succeeding life span (replacement).
2. Coterminated assumptions uses a finite and identical study period for all alternatives.
Case 1: Useful Lives Are Equal To The Study Period
Equivalent-Worth Methods
For investment alternatives, the one with the greatest positive equivalent worth is selected.
In the case of cost alternatives, the one with the least negative equivalent worth is selected
Rate of Return Methods
Do not compare the IRRs of mutually exclusive alternatives (or IRRs of the differences between mutually exclusive alternatives) against those of other alternatives
Compare an IRR only against the MARR () in determining the acceptability of an alternative.

The imputed Market Value Techniques
Use Repeatability Assumption in their Comparison, if it is not applicable then use Coterminated Assumption
1. (Useful Life) < (Study Period)Cost Alternatives: Because it has to provide the same level of service ever the study period, contracting for the service or leasing the needed equipment for the remaining years may be appropriate.Investment Alternatives : First Assumption, all cash flows will be reinvestd in other opportunities at the Firm. Second Assumption, involves replacing the initial investment with another asset having possible different cash flows remaining life.
2. (Useful Life) < (Study Period)The most common technique is to truncate the alternative at the end of the study period, using an estimated market value. This assumes that the disposable assets will be back sold at the end of the study period at that value.

1 We can select the best alternative from mutually exclusive set of feasible candidates when using time value of money concepts
2 It has demonstrated the application of profitability analysis methods discussed in Ch 5 to select preferred alternatives.
3 Alternatives with unequal lives and cost-only versus different revenues and costs were considered in deciding how to maximize the productivity of invested capital based on MARR..
4 If a rate-of-return method is being used to analyse mutually exclusive alternatives, each avoidable increment of additional capital must earn at least the MARR to ensure that the best alternative is chosen.

Chapter 10-Dealing with Uncertainty-
Risk, Uncertainty, and Sensitivity ??
Decision under risk are decisions in which the analyst models the decision problem in terms of assumed possible future outcomes, or scenarios, whose probabilities of occurrence can be estimated.
Decision under uncertainty, by contrast, is a decision problem characterized by several unknown futures for which probabilities of occurrence cannot be estimated.
In dealing with uncertainty, it is often helpful to determine to what degree changes in an estimate would affect a capital investment, that is, how sensitive a given investment is to changes in particular factors that are not known with uncertainty.
Both risk and uncertainty in
decision making activities are
caused by lack of precise
knowledge regarding future
conditions, technological
developments, synergies
among funded projects, and
so on.
There are four major sources of uncertainty, however, that are nearly always present in engineering economy studies.
Possible inaccuracy of the cash flow estimates used in the study.
Type of business involved in relation to the future health of economy.
Type of physical plant and equipment involved.
The length of study used in the analysis.

Several techniques are usually included in a discussion of sensitivity analysis in engineering economy. We will discuss the topic in term of the following three techniques:
Break Even Analysis
Combination of Factors
Sensitivity Graph (Spiderplot)
This techniques is commonly used when the selection among the project alternatives or the economic acceptability of an engineering project is heavily dependent upon a single factor, such as capacity utilization, which is uncertain.
This approach is used when two or more project factors are of concern and understanding of the sensitivity of the economic measure of merit to changes in the value of each factor is needed.
When the combined effects of uncertainty in two or more project factors need to examined, this analysis approach may be used.
When the selection between two engineering project alternatives is heavily dependent on a single factor, we can solve for the value (Break-even point) of that factor at which the conclusion is a standoff
Indifference between alternatives
: Solve for
𝐸𝑊 𝐵= 𝑓 (𝑧 )=0Economic acceptability of engineering project
The value of ‘‘ is the value at which we would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the project
Example of Break-Even Analysis [1/3]
Suppose that there are two alternative electric motors that provide 100 hp output. An Alpha
motor can be purchased for $12,500 and has an efficiency of 74%, an estimated life of 10 years,
and estimated maintenance cost of $500 per year. A Beta motor will cost $16,000 and has an
efficiency of 92%, a life of 10 years, and annual maintenance costs of $250. Annual taxes and
insurance costs on either motor will be 1-1/2% of the investment. If the minimum attractive rate
of return is 15%, how many hours per year would the motors have to be operated at full load for
the annual costs to be equal? Assume that salvage values for both motors are negligible and that
electricity costs $0.05 per kilowatt-hour.
Example of Break-Even Analysis [2/3] Decision Criterion: Minimize Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost (AC)

Purchase Price $12,500 $16,000
Maintenance Cost/yr 500 250
Annual Taxes & Insurance 12,500(0.015) 16,000(0.015)
Efficiency 74% 92%
Useful Life (yrs) 10 10
Note: Electrical Efficiency = power output , and 1 hp = 0.746 kW
Example of Break-Even Analysis [3/3]
At breakeven, $
Solving for X, we find
The Sensitivity Graph (Spiderplot) technique is an analysis tool applicable when break-even analysis does not “fit” the project situation.
Makes explicit the impact of uncertainty in the estimates of each factor of concern on the economic measure of merit.
Example
A machine for which most likely cash flow estimates are given in the following list is being considered for immediate installation. Because of the new technology built into this machine, it is desired to investigate its PW over a range of 40% in: (a) initial investment, (b) annual net cash flow, (c) salvage value, and (d) useful lifeBased on these estimates, how much can the initial investment increase without making the machine an unattractive venture?Draw a diagram that summarizes the sensitivity of present worth to changes in each separate parameter when the per year
Solution for the Example of Sensitivity Graph [1/2]
𝑃𝑊=−11,500+3,000 [𝑃∨𝐴 ,10% ,6(1±𝑛% /100)]+1,000 [𝑃∨𝐹 ,10% ,6(1±𝑛% /100)]
𝑃𝑊 (10%)=−11,500+3,000(𝑃∨𝐴 ,10% ,6)+1,000(𝑃∨𝐹 ,10% ,6)=$ 2,130a) When the Initial Investment varies by ±p%

We’re often concerned about the combined effects of uncertainty in two or more project factors on the economic measure of merit. When this situation occurs, the following approach should be used in developing additional information to assist decision making:
Develop a sensitivity graph for the project.
Select the most sensitive project factors based on the information in the sensitivity graph.
Also, for the most sensitive factors, try to develop improved estimates and reduce the range of uncertainty before proceeding further with the analysis
Analyze the combined effects of these factors on the project’s economic measure of merit by(a) Using an additional graphical technique to make the combined impact of the two most
sensitive factors more explisit(b) Determining the impact of selected combinatins of three or more factors..

Example from Combinations of Factors [2/2]
Risk-adjusted Minimum Attractive Rates of Return (MARR)
A widely used industrial practice for including some consideration of uncertainty is to increase the MARR
Example
End of Year, k AlternativeP Q
01234
The firm’s MARR for its risk-free investments is 10% per year. Because of the technical considerations involved, Alternative P is thought to be more uncertain than Alternative Q. Therefore, according to the Atlas Corporation’s engineering handbook, the risk-adjusted MARR applied to P will be 20% per year and risk-adjusted MARR for Q has been set at 17% per year. Which alternative should be recommended?
Atlas Corporation
Example from risk-adjusted MARR
At the risk-free MARRR of 10%, both alternatives have the same PW of $39,659. Alternative Q would be chosen because it is less uncertain than alternative P.
When considering economic uncertainty (i.e., MARRR of 10%), and based on technical considerations, the selection was seen to be Alternative Q.But when alternative P is “penalized” due to the technical considerations by applying a higher risk-adjusted MARR to compute its PW, the comparison of alternatives favors alternative P.
Reduction of Useful Life
By dropping from consideration those revenues (savings) and expenses that may occur after a reduced study period, heavy emphasis is placed on rapid recovery of capital in early years of a project’s life.
This method is closely related to the discounted payback technique and suffers from most of the same deficiencies.
ExampleSuppose that the Atlas Corporation referred, that example decided not to utilize risk-adjusted
interest rates as a means of recognizing uncertainty in their engineering economy studies.
Instead, they have decide to truncate the study period at 75% of the most likely estimate of
useful life. Hence, all cash flows past the third year would be ignored the analysis of alternatives.
By using this method, should Alternative P or Q be selected when MARR=10% per year?
Example of reduction of Useful Life
Based on the PW criterion, it is apparent that neither alternative would be the choice with this procedure for recognizing uncertainty:
We can infer from Chapter 10 that are . . .
Sensitivity Analysis
Risk-adjusted MARR
Reduction In useful life
We have used nonprobabilistic techniques to deal with the realization that the realization that the consequences (cash flows, useful lives, etc) of engineering projects can never be known with absolute certainty.
