1 Cost Analysis and Estimating for Engineering and Management Chapter 9 Cost Analysis Ch 9-1

2 Overview Making Decisions (Tradeoffs) Cash Flow Effects Variations on Breakeven Analysis Marginal Costs, Revenues, Profits Life Cycle Costs Ch 9-2

3 Tradeoffs Between/Among Design Alternatives Proceed or Terminate Make or Buy Current or Proposed Product/Method Often Before or During Design Ch 9-3

4 Product Development Ch 9-4

5 Tradeoff Study Search for Alternatives Determine Cost Estimates Use Comparative Economy Consider Constraints Understand Irreducible Factors Make Decisions Ch 9-5

6 Considering Cash Flow Amount and Timing of Cash Coming In, From Sales Going Out, In Expenses Also Depreciation Taxes Inflation/Deflation Ch 9-6

7 Taxation Effects on Cash Flow Property Taxes Fixed, Comparatively Small Sales Taxes Part of Material/Equipment Cost Income Taxes Federal and Sometimes State Ch 9-7

8 Income Taxes Proportion of Gross Income Taxable income = gross income - all expenses (except capital - depreciation deductions expenditures) Net Income: What s Left After Taxes Paid Eq 9.1 Ch 9-8

9 Graduated Tax Schedule If Income is Between and The tax is of the Amount Over $ 0 $50,000 15% 0 50,000 75,000 $ 7, % 50,000 75, ,000 13, % 75, , ,000 22, % 100, ,000 10,000, , % 335,000 10,000,000 15,000,000 3,400, % 10,000,000 15,000,000 18,333,333 5,150, % 15,000,000 18,333,333. 6,416, % 0 Ch 9-9
