Proposals for Investment Alternatives
 An investment is usually established from (engineering)
proposal.
 Every proposal can be considered as an investment
alternatives, but
 An investment alternative can consist of a group or set of
proposals, which in turn may include option to “do
nothing”
 Independent Proposal
 The condition at which the acceptance of a proposal from a set of proposals has
not effect on the acceptance of any of the other proposals in the set.
 Dependent Proposal
 The condition at when the acceptance of a proposal from the set will influence the
acceptance of the others
 Mutually exclusive  the acceptance of a proposal from the set precludes the
acceptance of any others

4-3 SI-4251 Ekonomi Teknik Muhamad Abduh, Ph.D.

Selection of Alternatives
 Decision criteria in an economic analysis can be done
comparing mutually exclusive alternatives:
 The differences between alternatives
 highest inflow or lowest outflow
 The minimum attractive rate of return
 highest rate of return
 Payback period
 shortest payback period
 Do nothing

4-4 SI-4251 Ekonomi Teknik Muhamad Abduh, Ph.D.

Selection of Alternatives
 Selection of two or more (investment) alternatives by
comparing their economic values.
 Method for comparison of alternatives:
 present values,
 future worth,
 capitalized cost,
 annual values,
 rate of returns, or
 payback period
 Conditions of comparison:
 equal lives
 different lives

MARR
 Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return
 Minimum amount the investor is willing to accept for the use
of money Rate of Return
 Different from lending rates
Expected
 More akin to Opportunity Cost of the money Rate of Return
on New Proposal
 Determined by Company Policy
Range for ROR

proposals

All proposals

Present-worth comparison
The comparison of alternatives is made by transforming
all future receipts and expenditures into equivalent
today’s rupiah
Example:
 Two types of production systems are being considered based on
MARR of 12% per year and the following characteristics:
system A system B
Initial cost Rp. 625.000.000,- Rp. 570.000.000,-
Monthly expenses Rp. 45.750.000,- Rp. 55.750.000,-
Receipts Rp. 152.000.000,- / quarter Rp. 140.000.000,- / 4 months
Salvage value Rp. 225.000.000,- Rp. 190.000.000,-

Present-worth comparison
To have a fair comparison of alternatives with different
lives, the time span over must made equal:
a) The time period of comparison is made equal to
the least common multiple (LCM) for their lives.
Cash flows of the shorter period will be extended up to
the remaining time period of comparison

b) At any time span to be considered (the study

period approach or planning horizon approach),
when LCM is impossible to perform.
Only cash flows up to the time span is to be considered;

Which Alternative – if any, should be selected based

upon a present worth analysis?

Calculate the Present Worth's

 Present Worth's are:

1. PWElec. = -2500 - 900(P/A,10%,5) +
200(P/F,10%,5) = $-5788
2. PWGas = -3500 - 700(P/A,10%,5) +
350(P/F,10%,5) = $-5936
3. PWSolar = -6000 - 50(P/A,10%,5) +
100(P/F,10%,5) = $-6127
Select “Electric” which has the min. PW Cost!

Example 2:

 Two Location Alternatives, A and B where one can

lease one of two locations.
 Which option is preferred if the interest rate is
15%/year?

Location A Location B
First cost, $ -15,000 -18,000
Annual lease cost,
$ per year -3,500 -3,100
Deposit return,$ 1,000 2,000
Lease term, years 6 9

Use LCM, where “n” = 18 yrs.
 The Cash Flow Diagrams are:

i = 15% per year

LCM(6,9) = 18 year study period will apply for present worth

4-20 SI-4251 Ekonomi Teknik Muhamad Abduh, Ph.D.
LCM Present Worth's

 Since the leases have different terms (lives),

compare them over the LCM of 18 years.
 For life cycles after the first, the first cost is
repeated in year 0 of the new cycle, which is the
last year of the previous cycle.
 These are years 6 and 12 for location A and year 9
for B.
 Calculate PW at 15% over 18 years.

4-21 SI-4251 Ekonomi Teknik Muhamad Abduh, Ph.D.

PW Calculation for A and B -18 yrs

 PWA = -15,000 - 15,000(P/F,15%,6) +

1000(P/F,15%,6)- 15,000(P/F,15%,12) +
1000(P/F,15%,12) + 1000(P/F,15%,18) -
3500(P/A,15%,18)= $-45,036
 PWB = -18,000 - 18,000(P/F,15%,9) +
2000(P/F,15%,9) + 2000(P/F,15%,18) - 3100(P/A,15
%,18)
 = $-41,384 Select “B”: Lowest PW
Cost @ 15%

22 SI-4251 Ekonomi Teknik Muhamad Abduh, Ph.D.

Use The Study Period Approach
 An alternative method; Impress a study period
(SP) on all of the alternatives;
 A time horizon is selected in advance;
 Only the cash flows occurring within that time
span are considered relevant;
 May require assumptions concerning some of the
cash flows.
 Common approach and simplifies the analysis
somewhat.

4-23 SI-4251 Ekonomi Teknik Muhamad Abduh, Ph.D.

Example Problem with a 5-yr SP

 Assume a 5- year Study Period for both options:

For a 5-year study period no cycle repeats are

necessary.
PWA = -15,000 - 3500(P/A,15%,5) + 1000(P/F,15%,5)
= $-26,236
PWB = -18,000- 3100(P/A,15%,5) + 2000(P/F,15%,5)
= $-27,397
Location A is now the better choice.
Note: The assumptions made for the A and B alternatives! Do
not expect the same result with a study period approach vs. the
LCM approach!
4-24 SI-4251 Ekonomi Teknik Muhamad Abduh, Ph.D.
Future Worth Analysis

 In some applications, management may prefer a

future worth analysis;
 Analysis is straight forward:
 Find P0 of each alternative:
 Then compute Fn at the same interest rate used to
find P0 of each alternative.
 For a study period approach, use the appropriate value
of “n” to take forward.

4-25 SI-4251 Ekonomi Teknik Muhamad Abduh, Ph.D.

Future Worth Approach (FW)

 Applications for the FW approach:

 Wealth maximization approaches;
 Projects that do not come on line until
the end of the investment (construction)
period:
 Power Generation Facilities
 Toll Roads
 Large building projects
 Etc.

4-26 SI-4251 Ekonomi Teknik Muhamad Abduh, Ph.D.

Capitalized Cost Calculations

 CAPITALIZED COST- the present worth of a

project which lasts forever.
 Government Projects;
 Roads, Dams, Bridges, project that possess perpetual
life;
 Infinite analysis period;
 “n” in the problem is either very long, indefinite, or
infinity.

4-27 SI-4251 Ekonomi Teknik Muhamad Abduh, Ph.D.

Derivation of Capitalized Cost

 We start with the relationship:

 P = A[P/A,i%,n]
 Next, what happens to the P/A factor when we
let n approach infinity.
 Some “math” follows.

4-28 SI-4251 Ekonomi Teknik Muhamad Abduh, Ph.D.

P/A where “n” goes to infinity

 The P/A factor is:

 (1  i)  1 n
P  A n 
 i(1  i) 
On the right hand side, divide both
numerator and denominator by (1+i)n
 1 
1  (1  i ) n 
P  A 
 i 

CC Derivation…

 Repeating:  1 

 
If “n” approaches  the above reduces
to:
A
P

4-30 SI-4251 Ekonomi Teknik Muhamad Abduh, Ph.D.
CC Explained

 For this class of problems, we can use the term

“CC” in place of P.
 Restate: A
CC 
i
 Or,
AW
CC 
i
 AW: annual worth

CC Problem: Public Works Example
 Problem Parameters
The suspension bridge will cost $50 million with annual inspection
and maintenance - costs of $35,000. In addition, the concrete deck
would have to be resurfaced every 10 years at a cost of $100,000.
The truss bridge and 'approach roads' are expected to cost $25
million and have annual maintenance costs of $20,000.The bridge
would have to be painted every 3 years at a cost of $40,000. In
addition, the bridge would have to be sandblasted every 10 years
at a cost of $190,000.The cost of purchasing right-of-way is
expected to be $2 million for the suspension bridge and $15
million for the truss bridge. Compare the alternatives on the basis
of their capitalized cost if the interest rate is 6% per, year.

Exercise:
 The municipal government of Bandung is considering two
proposals to build new toll highway system.
 The first alternative calls for upgrading the existing system,
which would cost Rp. 225,75 B for construction and additional
Rp 210 M and Rp 250 M per year for maintenance and
operation cost
 The other option is to build a new elevated highway that is
estimated to cost Rp. 885 B for construction and annual
maintenance cost of Rp 325 M
