Engineering Costs
Fixed costs
The costs that do not change during the time horizon of the study. They may relate to the constant costs of equipment, utilities, rent, etc.
Constant, independent of the output or activity level.
Examples:
Property taxes, insurance
Management and administrative salaries
License fees, and interest costs on borrowed capital
Rental or lease
3
A manufacturing plant that assembles television sets has variable output volume from 200 sets to 350 sets a day. The building for both manufacturing and warehousing has an area of 80, 000 square feet. It employs about 250 people. It produces all of the components that go into the assembly.
An example for fixed cost in this plant is -------------------.
Equipment Cost
Power cost
Labor Cost
Material Cost
4
Example
Equipment cost stays the same regardless the level of output once the plant has been designed to produce at a certain level.
5
Engineering Costs
Variable costs
Costs that vary during the time horizon of the study. Over the long-term all costs are variable.
Depends on the level of output or activity.
Proportional to the output or activity level.
Example:
Direct labor cost
Direct materials

An example for variable cost in the plant is ---------------.
A) Building cost
B) Equipment Cost
C) Labor Cost
D) Property Taxes
6
Labor cost depends on the output level
Example

Relevant Formulae
Total Variable Cost = Unit Variable Cost * Quantity
TVC = VC * Q
Total Cost = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost
TC = FC + VC * Q
Total Revenue = Unit Selling Price * Quantity
TR = SP * Q
where TVC = Total variable cost
VC = Variable cost per unit
Q = Production/Selling quantity
FC = Total Fixed costs
TR = Total revenue
SP = Selling price per unit
Example
A company produces a single, high-volume product. One year its production volume was 780,000 units, its fixed costs were $3.2 million and its variable costs were $16 per unit. What was the company's total cost for the year?
A) $3,200,000
B) $3,200,016
C) $12,480,000
D) $15,680,000
8
TVC = 780,000 x 16 = $12,480,000
FC = $3.2M
TC = FC+TVC = $15,680,000
Breakeven Analysis
Breakeven point: The level of business activity at which the total costs to provide the products (goods), or services are equal to the revenue generated. That is:
Total costs = Total revenue
Total costs = Total fixed costs + Total variable costs
Applications of Breakeven analysis:
Determining minimum production quantity
Forecast production profit / loss

A manufacturing firm’s specialty circuit board division has annual fixed costs of $100,000
and variable costs of $20.00 per board.
If they charge $100 per circuit board, how many circuit boards must they produce and sell in order to break even?
12
Example
To break even, total costs = total revenue,
where total costs = total fixed costs + total variable costs.
$100,000 + $20X = $100X
X = $100,000/$80 = 1250 circuit boards.
In breakeven analysis, the profit at the breakeven point is equal to
A) The total cost B) Zero C) The total revenue D) The variable cost multiplied by the number of items sold
13
Example
The total revenue is equal to the total cost. Therefore…
Marginal Costs and Average Costs
Marginal Costs
Used to decide whether an additional unit should be made, purchased, or enrolled in.
the variable cost for one more unit of output
Capacity Planning: excess capacity
Basis for last-minute pricing
Average Costs:
total cost divided by the total number of units produced.
Basis for normal pricing
14
14
the cost of producing one additional unit.
used for making a decision of whether or not it is economical to produce another unit of the same item.
Example: Taking the fifth person in a taxicab that can take only four passengers.
For the fifth person, a second cab has to be hired.
The cab fare for the second cab is the marginal cost.
15
Example
What is marginal cost? Explain with an example.

Engineering Costs and Cost Estimating
Key Question: Where do the numbers come from that we use in engineering economic analysis?
Cost estimating is necessary in an economic analysis
When working in industry, you may need to consult with professional accountants, engineers and other specialists to obtain such information
17
Albert plans to charter a bus to take people to see a wrestling match show in Jacksonville. His wealthy uncle will reimburse him for his personal time, so his time cost can be ignored.
Item Cost Item Cost
Bus Rental $80 Ticket $12.50
Gas Expense $75 Refreshments $ 7.50
Other Fuel Costs $20
Bus Driver $50
Total Costs $225.00 Total Costs $20.00
Which of the above are fixed and which are variable costs?
How do we compute Albert’s total cost if he takes n people to Jacksonville?
Albert’s Charter Bus Venture (example)
18
Albert’s Charter Bus Venture (example)
Answer: Total Cost = $225 + $20 n.
Graph of Total Cost Equation:
n
Total cost
19
marginal cost
-The cost to take one more person
average cost
- Average cost: the cost per person
Avg. Cost = TC/n
Avg. Cost = ($225+$20n)/n = $20 + $225/n
For n = 30, TC = $885
Avg. Cost = $885/30 = $29.50
20
Question: Do we have enough information yet to decide how much money Albert will make on his venture? What else must we know?
Albert needs to know his total revenue
Albert knows that similar ventures in the past have charged $35 per person, so that is what he decides to charge
Total Revenue = 35n (for n people)
Total profit =
Total Revenue – Total Cost:
35n – (225 + 20n) = 15n – 225
Question:
How many people does Albert need to break even?
(not lose money on his venture)
21
Question:
How many people does Albert need to break even?
(not lose money on his venture)
Solve 15 n – 225 = 0 => n=15
more than 15, he makes money

Fixed costs $48,000 per session
Variable cost per camper $80 per week
Capacity 200 campers
27
Exercise 2.7
b) What is the total number of campers that will allow the camp to just break even?
$48,000 = $480 x
A privately owned summer camp for youngsters has the following data for a 12-week session:
Charge per camper $120 per week
Fixed costs $48,000 per session
Variable cost per camper $80 per week
Capacity 200 campers
28
Exercise 2.7
c) What is the profit or loss for the 12-week session if the camp operates at 80% capacity
A privately owned summer camp for youngsters has the following data for a 12-week session:
Charge per camper $120 per week
Fixed costs $48,000 per session
Variable cost per camper $80 per week
Capacity 200 campers
29
Exercise 2.15
d) What are marginal and average costs per camper at 80% capacity?
Marginal cost is the slope of the equation which is equal to $960
Average cost is Total Cost/x = ($48,000 + $960 * 160)/160 = $1260
at x = 160
Costs associated with decisions already made.
Money already spent as a result of a past decision.
Cost that has occurred in the past and has no relevance to estimates of future costs and revenues related to an alternative
Must be ignored because current decisions can not change the past
Sunk Costs
30
30
A sunk cost is money already spent due to a past decision.
As engineering economists we deal with present and future opportunities
We must be careful not to be influenced by the past
Disregard sunk costs in engineering economic analysis
Sunk Costs
31
Example:
Suppose that three years ago your parents bought you a laptop PC for $2000.
How likely is it that you can sell it today for what it cost?
Suppose you can sell the laptop today for $400. Does the $2000 purchase cost have any effect on the selling price today?
The $2000 is a sunk cost. It has no influence on the present opportunity to sell the laptop for $400. ( stock now costs $20 but you bought for $80)
Sunk Costs
32
All of the following are usually included in an engineering economic analysis except
A) Fixed costs
B) Variable costs
C) Sunk costs
D) Total revenue
33
Example
Opportunity Costs
Using a resource in one activity instead of another
Cost of the foregone opportunity and is hidden or implied
Going for $3000 trip and miss the opportunity of earning $5000 in summer internship
34
34
35
Sunk and Opportunity Cost-1
Example 2-2. A distributor has a case of electric pumps. The pumps are unused, but are three years old. They are becoming obsolete. Some pricing information is available as follows.
Item Amount Type of Costs
Price for case 3 years ago $7,000
Sunk cost
Sunk cost
Storage costs to date $1,000
36
Sunk and Opportunity Cost-2
Example 2-2. (cont.)
Item Amount Type of Costs
List price today for a case of
new and up to date pumps $12,000
Can be used to help determine what the lot is worth today.
Amount buyer offered for case
2 years ago $5,000
A foregone opportunity
Case can currently be sold for $3,000
Actual market value today
Recurring Costs and Non-recurring Costs
Recurring Costs: Repetitive, and occur when a firm produces similar goods and services on a continuing basis
Office space rental
Non-recurring Costs: Not repetitive, even though the total expenditure may be cumulative over a period of time
Typically involves developing or establishing a capability or capacity to operate
Examples are purchase cost for real estate and the construction costs of the plant
37
37
Incremental Costs
Incremental Costs: Difference in costs between two alternatives.
Suppose that A and B are mutually exclusive alternatives. If A has an initial cost of $10,000 while B has an initial cost of $14,000, the incremental initial cost of (B - A) is $4,000.
38
38
Example 2-3 Choosing between Model A & B
| Cost Items | Model A | Model B | Incremental Cost |
| Purchase Price | $10,000 | $17,500 | |
| Installation Costs | $3,500 | $5,000 | |
| Annual Maintenance * | $2,500 | $750 | |
| Annual Utility * | $1,200 | $2,000 | |
| Disposal Cost | $700 | $500 |
$7,500
$1,500
$ -1,750/yr
$800/yr
$ -200
39
* Must be multiplied by the number of years of service.

Cash Costs versus Book Costs
Book Costs:
Costs that do not involve money/cash transaction
Cost effects from past decisions that are recorded in the books (accounting books) of a firm
Do not represent cash flows
Not included in engineering economic analysis
One exception is for asset depreciation.
Depreciation Example:
Depreciation is charged for the use of assets, such as plant and equipment—This is used to determine the value of the company and in computing taxes.

Cash Costs versus Book Costs
Cash Costs:
Costs that involve money/cash transaction
Require the cash transaction of dollars from “one pocket to another”.
Example:
Interest payments, taxes, etc.
You might use Kelley Blue Book to conclude the book value of your car is $6,000. The book value can be thought of as the book cost. If you actually sell the car to a friend for $5,500, then the cash cost to your friend is $5,500.

Planned Activities:
2 days of canoeing
3-day hikes
3 days at the beach
Nightly entertainment
56
56
Cost Data:
Van (capacity 15) rental: $50 one way
Camp is 50 miles away, van gets 10 miles/gallon, and gas is $1/gallon
Each cabin holds 4 campers, rent is $10/day-cabin
Meals are $10/day-camper
Boat transportation is $2/camper (one way)
Insurance/grounds fees/overhead is $1/day-camper
Canoe (capacity 3) rentals are $5/day-canoe
Day hikes are $2.50/camper-day
Beach rental is $25/group-(half-day)
Nightly entertainment is free
Example A: Cost Estimating using Per-Unit Model
57
57
Solution:
Assumption: 100% participation in all activities
Transportation Costs:
Van: $50/van-trip * 2 vans * 2 trips = $200
Gas: $1/gallon * (50 miles / 10 miles/gallon) *2 *2 = 20
Boat: $2/camper-trip * 24 campers * 2 = 96
Subtotal $316
Example A: Cost Estimating using Per-Unit Model`
58
58
Solution:
Living Costs:
Meals: $10/day-camper * 24 campers * 10 days = $2400
Cabin rental: $10/day-cabin * (24/4) cabins *10 days = 600
Insurance: $1/day-camper * 24 campers * 10 days = 240
Subtotal $3240
Example A: Cost Estimating using Per-Unit Model`
59
59
Solution (Continued):
Entertainment Costs:
Canoe rental: $5/day-canoe * 2 days * (24/3) canoes = $80
Beach rental: $25/group-(half-day) * (3*2) half-days = 150
Day hike: $2.50/camper-day* 24 campers * 3 days = 180
Nightly entertainment 0
Subtotal $410
Total Costs: $3966
Thus, the total cost per student would be $3966/24 = $165.25

Drawing a Cash Flow Diagram
CFD shows when all cash flows occur
In a CFD, the end of period t is the same time as the beginning of period t+1
Rent, lease, and insurance payments are usually treated as beginning-of-period cash flows
O&M, salvage, revenues, and overhauls are assumed to be end-of-period cash flows
The choice of time 0 is arbitrary
