In chapter 3 (i.e., interest and equivalence), we dealt with single payments
compound interest formula:
Functional NotationAlgebraic Equivalent
Examples:
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
6. Uniform Series

Quite often we have to deal with uniform (equidistant and equal-valued)
cash flows during a period of time:
Remember: A= Series of consecutives, equal, end of period amounts of money
(Receipts/disbursement)
Examples: _______________________________________________
______________________________________________________
7. Deriving Uniform Series Formula

Let’s compute Future Worth, F, of a stream of equal, end-of-period
cash flows, A, at interest rate, i, over interest period, n

22. Problem
22
Determine n based on 3.5% interest rate?
Solution:
P = A (P/A, 3.5%, n)
$1,000 = $50 (P/A, 3.5%, n)
(P/A, 3.5%, n) = 20
From the 3.5% interest table, n = 35.
23. Problem
23
A sum of money is invested at 2% per 6 month period (semi-annually) will
double in amount in approximately how much years?
P = $1 n = unknown number of
semiannual periods
i = 2% F = 2
F = P (1 + i)n
2 = 1 (1.02)n
2 = 1.02n
n = log (2) / log (1.02)
= 35
Therefore, the money will double in 17.5 years.

27. Arithmetic Gradient Series
27
It’s frequently happen that the cash
flow series is not constant amount.
It probably is because of operating
costs, construction costs, and
revenues to increase of decrease
from period to period by a
constant percentage
28. Arithmetic Gradient Series
28
Let the cash flows increase/decrease by a uniform fixed amount G
every subsequent period

Suppose you buy a car.You wish to set up enough money in a bank
account to pay for standard maintenance on the car for the first five
years.You estimate the maintenance cost increases by G = $30 each
year.The maintenance cost for year 1 is estimated as $120. i = 5%.
Thus, estimated costs by year are $120, $150, $180, $210,
$240.

Maintenance costs of a machine start at $100 and go up by $100
each year for 4 years.What is the equivalent uniform annual
maintenance cost for the machinery if i= 6%.
