摘要:

In previous works, the valuation procedure for income producing assets by use of the cost approach has adopted the model of declining operation returns. In this valuation model, the repair and maintenance costs and service intensity have been measured as the influencing factors causing decline in operation returns.

摘要:

An excellent way to apply the fundamental concepts of engineering economy is to evaluate the question of buying a home versus renting an apartment. Depending upon certain conditions, either alternative may be economically advantageous. Some of the variables include the mortgage and inflation rates, movements in house and apartment prices, and income tax effects. The decision is evaluated in terms of both personal and business use of the home. Plots of the present worth of the cash flow versus years lived in the home will be used to show the sensitivity of the breakeven point to each variable. The most important variables are the cash difference between the monthly mortgage payment and the apartment rent, the inflated interest rate, and the house price inflation rate. Based on our results, the decision to use part of the house as a business should not affect the decision to purchase the house.

摘要:

This paper studies the classical problem of evaluating end effects when the study period is shorter than the asset's economic life. By relating the concept of imputed salvage value to classical micro-economic theory, we make three contributions. First, we generalize the concept of imputed salvage value, normally defined only for assets whose maintenance and operation costs arc independent of age, to include assets with arbitrary operating and maintenance costs. Second, we show that generalized imputed salvage values are equivalent to the stationary dual prices of an infinite-horizon linear program, thereby providing explicit computational formulae. Third, we argue that imputed salvage values (not market salvage values) correctly measure economic value and, hence, appropriately evaluate end effects.

摘要:

The rule of 78s is a scheme for the repayment of debts which is used by some banks and finance companies. The rule employs uniform periodic payments, but differs from the competing conventional repayment method in that the interest rate is not constant, but rather is greater than average initially and then declines throughout the life of the loan. The effect is that the lender is laying early claim to interest payments and consequently the unpaid balance is corresponding larger. Important formulas for the rule of 78s are developed. An example is presented.

摘要:

This paper attempts to fill gaps found in the article by Kim, Philippatos and Cbung which recently appeared in this journal. Simple proofs of the concavity of the three objective functions they postulated are presented.
