About this ebook
The Solutions Manual for  Principles of Engineering Economic Analysis (6th Edition) by John A. White, Kenneth E. Case, and David B. Pratt delivers a comprehensive, cash-flow-driven approach to evaluating engineering and technical projects. [1, 2]
The book is structured into 16 core chapters and specialized appendices that cover the following topics: [1, 2]
Foundations & The Time Value of Money
    • Chapter 1: Engineering Economic Analysis – Introduction to the Systematic Economic Analysis Technique (SEAT) and the 10 core principles of engineering economics. [1]
    • Chapter 2: Time Value of Money (TVOM) – Cash flow diagrams, simple vs. compound interest, multiple compounding periods per year, and continuous compounding. [1, 2]
    • Chapter 3: Borrowing, Lending, and Investing – Loan repayment methods, real estate investment applications, principal and interest breakdowns, retirement planning, bonds, and variable interest rates. [1]
    • Chapter 4: Establishing the Planning Horizon and the Minimum Attractive Rate of Return (MARR) – Setting time frames for analysis and determining the hurdle rate required for investments. [1, 2]
Core Evaluation Methodologies
    • Chapter 5: Present Worth Analysis – Evaluating alternatives by converting all cash flows into today's equivalent dollar value.
    • Chapter 6: Future Worth Analysis – Assessing the future values of accumulated investments or project outcomes.
    • Chapter 7: Annual Worth Analysis – Converting irregular cash flows into an equivalent uniform annual series, addressing equal vs. unequal project lives, and calculating capital recovery costs.
    • Chapter 8: Rate of Return Analysis – Calculating and comparing the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and External Rate of Return (ERR) for single and multiple alternatives. [1, 2, 3]
Taxes, Inflation & Operational Analysis
    • Chapter 9: Depreciation Methods – Methods for determining asset wear and accounting devaluation for tax purposes.
    • Chapter 10: After-Tax Economic Analysis – Incorporating income tax implications into the financial assessment of a project.
    • Chapter 11: Replacement Analysis – Determining the optimal time to retire or replace an existing physical asset with a new alternative.
    • Chapter 12: Inflation Effects – Adjusting economic evaluations and after-tax calculations to account for purchasing power changes over time. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Advanced Decisions & Public Sector Projects
    • Chapter 13: Supplementary Analysis – Methods dealing with real-world uncertainty, including Break-Even analysis, Sensitivity analysis, Risk analysis, and Decision Trees.
    • Chapter 14: Economic Analysis in the Public and Regulated Sectors – Applying benefit-cost ratios and evaluation metrics to government or highly regulated projects.
    • Chapter 15: Capital Budgeting – Addressing classical capital restrictions, handling unequal investment durations, and optimizing divisible investments.
    • Chapter 16: Obtaining and Estimating Cash Flows – Cost terminology, cost estimation strategies, and basic concepts of cost and general accounting. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Appendices
  • Appendix A & B: Discrete and Continuous Compound Interest Tables used for manual formulation and reference calculations. [1]
