Book Description
This substantially revised and updated edition of Engineering Economics and Costing continues to build on the fundamental principles and applications of the subject. Divided into three parts: Part I, Engineering Economics; Part II, Financial System; and Part III, Cost Accounting, the text discusses, in a simple and easy-to-understand language, such topics as interest formulas and their applications, and various methods, for example, the present worth method of comparison, future worth method, annual equivalent method, and the rate of return method. It also includes, in its Appendix, interest tables for a wide range of interest rates (0.25-50%) and for a period ranging from one year to 100 years. These tables, along with the topics discussed, will help students of both Engineering and MCA in evaluating engineering projects. What is New to This Edition: Chapter 2 gives a distinction between Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. Chapter 2 also explains the concept of income elasticity, cross elasticity of demand, and elasticity of substitution. At the end Chapter 3, a variety of simple numerical problems with solutions are given to illustrate the concepts discussed. Chapter 8 provides more examples illustrating the various aspects of break-even analysis. While the book is intended primarily as a text for B.Tech. and MCA courses of Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT), Orissa, it would also be highly useful for BE/B.Tech. students of other universities/institutes. Besides, practising engineers and project consultants making economic decision analysis would find this well-organized book immensely valuable. What the Reviewer Says: The book is very clear in exposition of the concepts and theories of Economics. I am confident that it will be extremely helpful to the engineering students. --Dr. NIRMAL CHANDRA SAHU Professor, Postgraduate Department of Economics Berhampur University, Orissa

Systems Life Cycle Costing
Author: John V. Farr
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1439828911
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Although technology and productivity has changed much of engineering, many topics are still taught in very similarly to how they were taught in the 70s. Using a new approach to engineering economics, Systems Life Cycle Costing: Economic Analysis, Estimation, and Management presents the material that a modern engineer must understand to work as a practicing engineer conducting economic analysis. Organized around a product development process that provides a framework for the material, the book presents techniques such as engineering economics and simulation-based costing (SBC), with a focus on total life cycle understanding and perspective and introduces techniques for detailed analysis of modern complex systems. The author includes rules of thumb for estimation grouped with the methods, processes, and tools (MPTs) for conducting a detailed engineering buildup for costing. He presents the estimating costing of complex systems and software and then explores concepts such as design to cost (DTC), cost as an independent variable (CAIV), the role of commercial off-the-shelf technology, cost of quality, and the role of project management in LCC management. No product or services are immune from cost, performance, schedule, quality, risks, and tradeoffs. Yet engineers spend most of their formal education focused on performance and most of their professional careers worrying about resources and schedule. Too often, the design stage becomes about the technical performance without considering the downstream costs that contribute to the tota1 life cycle costs (LCC) of a system. This text presents the methods, processes, and tools needed for the economic analysis, estimation, and management that bring these costs in line with the goals of pleasing the customer and staying within budget.
