Identify the four engineering economy symbols and their values from the following problem statement. Use a question mark with the symbol whose value is to be determined. Thompson Mechanical Products is planning to set aside $150,000 now for possibly replacing its large synchronous refi ner motors whenever it becomes necessary. If the replacement is not needed for 7 years, how much will the company have in its investment set-aside account, provided it achieves a rate of return of 11% per year?
Solution
let amount kept aside be P= 150000
value of investment set aside after 7 years be A= ?
time , n= 7 years
rate of return, r = 11%
A= P(1+r)n = 150000 (1+.11)7= 311,424.023
