ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.15 : Based on Time Discounting of Money, let y = x / (1 + r) ^ n, where ^ = power, r = interest rate for the period in decimal value, n = number of periods, y = current value, x = future value. According to Present Value Addition Rule, the present value of a set of future payments is equal to sum for present value of each of the payments. In an engineering business, 3 future payments are to be made : $100 after 1 year; $500 after 2 years; $200 after 3 years. (a) Form an equation of y as a function of r. (b) Find the value of y in 5 decimal places if r = 8 %.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - ANSWER 34.15 : (a) First future payment : n = 1, x = $100. Second future payment : n = 2, x = $500. Third future payment : n = 3, x = $200. Then total y = sum of x / (1 + r) ^ n = 100 / (1 + r) + 500 / (1 + r) ^ 2 + 200 / (1 + r) ^ 3. (b) When r = 8 % = 0.08, y = 100 / (1 + 0.08) + 500 / (1 + 0.08) ^ 2 + 200 / (1 + 0.08) ^ 3 = 680.02845 (5 decimal places).

X is a solid having a white colour at room temperature. It has a density about 2g/cc. Although it has melting point near 325 degree Celsius, its properties start degrading above 260 degree Celsius. The coefficient of friction is very low about 0.1. It has very good dielectric properties especially at higher radio frequencies. It has a very high bulk resistivity. It is chemically inert. It is also resistant to van der Waals force. It is hydrophobic as well as lipophobic. Creep or ‘Cold Flow’ has been observed in X.
