Engineering Economics Two Questions

7. If you plan to have $4,000,000 when you retire, how long will you be able to withdraw $500,000 per year if the account earns interest at a rate of 6% per year? (Hint: Use interpolation) 8. Corrosion problems -and manufacturing defects rendered a gasoline pipeline between El Paso and Phoenix subject to longitudinal weld seam failures. Therefore. the pressure was reduced to 80% of the de sign value. If the reduced pressure results in delivery of $100,000 per month less product, what will be the value of the lost revenue after a 3-year period at an interest rate of 1 1 .940397% per year, compounded continuously?

Explanation / Answer

7.

Value at retirement will be=4000000

4000000=500000*((1-(1+6%)^(-n))/6%)

((1-(1+6%)^(-n))/6%)=4000000/500000

((1-(1+6%)^(-n))/6%)=8

(1-(1+6%)^(-n))=8*6%

1.06^(-n)=0.52

use natural log on both sides

-n=LN(0.52)/LN(1.06)

-n=-11.22

n=11.22 years

the above is answer..
