2. Contemporary Engineering Economics, 4 th edition, © 2007 Chapter Opening Story – New Incentives for Being Green Carrier corporation has invested $250 million in developing a new energy efficient heat exchangers. The expected retail price of the system unit is about $4,236. The initial profit margin is about 7.45%, but there is no way of knowing how long Carrier will be able to sustain their desired profit margin. Under this circumstance, any project’s justification depends upon the ability to estimate potential cash flows.

Elements of Investment Decision

4. Contemporary Engineering Economics, 4 th edition, © 2007 Net income : Net income is an accounting means of measuring a firm’s profitability based on the matching concept. Costs become expenses as they are matched against revenue. The actual timing of cash inflows and outflows are ignored. Cash flow : Considering the time value of money, it is better to receive cash now than later, because cash can be invested to earn more money. So, cash flows are more relevant data to use in project evaluation. Cash Flow vs. Net Income

5. Contemporary Engineering Economics, 4 th edition, © 2007 Why Do We Use Cash Flow in Project Evaluation? Company ACompany B Year 1Net income Cash flow $1,000,000 1,000,000 $1,000,000 0 Year 2Net income Cash flow 1,000,000 2,000,000  Both companies (A & B) have the same amount of net income and cash sum over 2 years, but Company A returns $1 million cash yearly, while Company B returns $2 million at the end of 2 nd year.  Company A can invest $1 million in year1, while Company B has nothing to invest during the same period.
