M2 Discussion Cost Estimation and the Time Value of Money

Question

Economic Analysis

Developing the cash flow for each alternative in a study is a pivotal, and usually the most difficult, step in the engineering economic analysis procedure. An integrated approach for developing cash flows includes three major components:

  • A work breakdown structure (WBS) definition of the project,
  • A cost and revenue structure that identifies all the cost and revenue elements involved in the study, and
  • Estimating techniques (models).

Chapter 2 presented the fundamental time value of money relationships. Discuss the concept of equivalence - if two cash flows (or a series of cash flows) are equivalent for a stated interest rate, and under what circumstances you would be willing to trade one for the other.  Make sure to apply concepts from this module week in your post.
