Engineering Economy – Problem 1.10

ByEngineeringCheatSheet.com

Emerson Processing borrowed $900,000 for installing energy-efficient lighting and safety equipment in its La Grange manufacturing facility. The terms of the loan were such that the company could pay interest only at the end of each year for up to 5 years, after which the company would have to pay the entire amount due. If the interest rate on the loan was 12% per year and the company paid only the interest for 4 years, determine the following:

(a) The amount of each of the four interest payments
(b) The amount of the final payment at the end of year 5

Costs associated with the manufacture of miniature high-sensitivity piezoresistive pressure transducers are $73,000 per year. A clever industrial engineer found that by spending $16,000 now to reconfigure the production line and reprogram two of the robotic arms, the cost will go down to $58,000 next year and $52,000 in years 2 through 5. Using an…

Machining economics encompasses a range of models and scenarios aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of machining processes. It involves optimizing the overall outcome of a machining process. At a micro-technological level, this means maximizing tool life, increasing the number of workpieces produced per cutting edge, adhering to pre-defined cycle times, minimizing tooling costs,…
