    Study Notes

    Law of Supply

    • The law of supply states that as the price of a good rises, the quantity supplied will also rise.
    • Conversely, as the price of a good falls, the quantity supplied will also fall.

    Types of Goods and Services

    • Goods and services can be categorized into two types: consumer goods and services and producer goods and services.
    • Consumer goods and services are products or services that are directly used by individuals to satisfy their needs and desires. Examples include food, clothing, homes, and telephones.
    • Producer goods and services are products or services that are used to produce consumer goods and services or other producer goods. Examples include manufacturing infrastructure, machinery, and transportation systems.

    Cost Concepts

    • Fixed Costs: Costs that remain consistent regardless of the level of production or resources used. These are unavoidable costs that must be paid.
    • Operation and Maintenance Costs: Costs associated with running a project or enterprise, including labor, materials, energy, and information.
    • Working Capital: Funds necessary for the day-to-day operations of a business.
    • Salvage Value: The estimated value of an asset at the end of its useful life, considering depreciation and potential resale value.

    Time Value of Money (TVM)

    • Money available now has a higher value than the same amount in the future because of its potential to earn interest and grow over time.
    • This principle is crucial in financial decision-making and is the foundation of how capital is used to generate wealth.
    • Simple Interest: Calculated only on the principal amount and grows linearly.
    • Compound Interest: Accumulates interest on both the principal and previously earned interest. This results in faster growth over time.

    Simple Interest Formula

    • Total Interest (I) = Principal (P) * Number of Interest Periods (n) * Interest Rate (i)
    • Total Amount (F) = Principal (P) * (1 + Number of Interest Periods (n) * Interest Rate (i))

    Compound Interest Formula

    • Total Amount (F) = Principal (P) * (1 + Interest Rate (i)) ^ Number of Interest Periods (n)

    Annual Worth (AW) Method

    • The Annual Worth (AW) method expresses the economic performance of a project as an equivalent annual series of cash flows for a specified period.
    • If the AW is greater than or equal to zero, the project is considered economically attractive.
    • If the AW is less than zero, the project is not economically attractive.

    Annual Worth Formula

    • AW = AW of cash inflows - AW of cash outflows

    • AW of cash inflows = A (A/P), i%, n)

    • AW of cash outflows = A(A/F, i%, n)
