The document discusses various topics related to engineering economics and cost analysis. It begins by defining economics according to prominent economists like Robbins and Marshall. It then covers microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic goals and the flow in an economy. The document defines engineering economics and discusses principles, analysis procedures, and scope. It also covers concepts like cost elements, types of costs, cost estimating models, inflation, break even analysis, and value engineering. Finally, it discusses time value of money and interest calculations.

ends and scarce means
Alfred Marshall
A study of man kind in the ordinary business of life

environment in which the frirm is working
It enacts as a basis for resource allocation
12. LAW OF SUPPLY & DEMAND
Supply and Demand are independent
They are functions of price
FACTORS INFLUENCING

25. COST ESTIMATING MODELS
PER UNIT MODEL
Estimated cost per unit X Volume of production
SEGMENTING MODEL
Ex: Bike
COST INDEXES
Cost of product at current point of time (P2) = P1 X (C2/C1)
Where C is the cost index value at the given time
LEARNING CURVE MODEL
The time taken for the Nth unit of task or product
Time for completing N units, TN = T1 X Nk
26. COST ESTIMATING MODELS
POWER SIZE MODEL
Cost of product X2 = Cost of X1
Ex: Cost of X2 = cost of 20 H.P engine
Cost of X1 = cost of 10 H.P engine
Size of X1 = 10 H.P and Size of X2 = 20 H.P
K= exponent which indicates the economy of scale
K= 1 No economy ; K> 1 diseconomy
PRICE INDEX NUMBER
It represents the change in value of a set of related variables from one
time period to the other time period
K
X1ofSize
X2ofSize
27. INFLATION
The rise in the price of goods and services in a given period of a
Country. It is based on CPI( consumer price index) or WPI (Whole sale price
index)
CPI: It represents the changes in the price of a select set of goods & services
for a given consumer class. CPI has an effect on the purchasing power of
people.
WPI: It represents the monthly average of goods sold in large quantities
The price of goods & services change due to several reasons
Such as
Population growth
Excessive spending by govt., public
Decline in industrial activities etc.,
28. BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS
Objective:
To find the cut-off production volume fro where a
firm will make profit
ie.,Total sales revenue = Total cost incurred ( At B.E pt)
S = TC
s x Q = v x Q + FC
s = S.P /unit
v = Variable cost/unit
FC = Fixed cost
Q = Volume of production
Profit = Sales – Total cost
= Sales – (Fixed + variable)
= s x Q – (v x Q + FC)
30. BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS
At Break even point
Sales = Total cost
Sales = (Fixed + variable)
s x Q = (v x Q + FC)
(B.E.Qty) Q =
Q =
B.E. Sales s = Break even Qty X Selling price per unit

Cheaper raw material price
Reduced machining/process time
Enhanced durability of the product
DESIGN SELECTION FOR A PRODUCT
Two alternatives
DESIGN SELECTION FOR A PROCESS INDUSTRY
Ex: Storage Tank in a chemical industry
BUILDING MATERIAL SELECTION FOR CONSTRUCTION
ACTIVITIES
Sourcing of raw material
PROCESS PLANNING/PROCESS MODIFICATION
Sequence of operation with least cost
35. VALUE ENGG OR VALUE ANALYSIS
Systematic identification & elimination of unessential or
unnecessary costs
Why value analysis has to be carried out?
- Competitive market
Value engg is a very effective tool of Material
Management & cost reduction
Value analysis investigates as
How the value of the product can be improved OR
If a part can be replaced (or) eliminated by any other part
of the same value / lesser cost
36. VALUE ENGG OR VALUE ANALYSIS
The main aim is to study the relation between design
functionality & cost of a part
DEFINITION:
The Process of objectively studying every item purchased or
manufactured to eliminate every cost factor which does not
contribute to usefulness or utility
A technique that yields value improvement by the
determination of the essential function of a product/item and
the accomplishment of this function at minimum cost without
degradation in its quality
37. VALUE ENGG OR VALUE ANALYSIS
VALUE RATIO
Value =
TYPES OF VALUES
1. Esteem value ( Imported car)
2. Use value
3. Cost value
4. Exchange value (Gold ornaments)
OBJECTIVES OF VALUE ANALYSIS
Reduce the cost of product
Improve the quality of product & profit
To modify/improve design
Cost
Function
38. VALUE ENGG OR VALUE ANALYSIS
To ensure greater returns
To simplify the product
To develop logical & analytical approach to solve problems
To promote creativity and quality awareness amongst workers
PHASES OF VALUE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
1. Orientation
2. Information
3. Functional
4. Creation
5. Evaluation
6. Investigation
7. Recommendation & implementation
39. 5. Evaluation phase
Select the most promising ideas
Identify the ideas that are most suitable
5. Investigation phase

5. Recommendation & Implementation phase
40. PHASES OF VALUE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
1. Orientation
Select the project for study (Ex: A car/clutch/fuel injection system)
Form a team from design, sales, purchase & accounts etc.,
2. Information phase
• Collect facts (Drawings, parts, suppliers, manufacturing methods etc.,)
• Determine cost
• Fixation of cost (Segregate the specification & actual requirements)
3. Function Phase (Relates Value & function)
• Identify the part & the function it performs
• Relate its functions with cost & worth of providing them
41. PHASES OF VALUE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
4. Creation Phase
Create ideas for alternate ways
Ask & Answer questions
What is Achieved?
Why is it essential?
How is it achieved?& Why that way?
Where does it take place & Why there?
When is it done & Why then?
Who does it & Why that man
