ENGINEERING ECONOMY - ANSWER 7.3 : (a) For Choice 2, A$15000 x 1.05 = A$15750 after 1 year, A$15750 x 1.05 = A$16537.50 after 2 years, A$16537.50 x 1.05 = A$17364.375 after 3 years, A$17364.375 x 1.05 = A$18232.6 after 4 years. (b) The gain of Choice 2 > Choice 1 with A$18232.6 > A$18000, then Choice 2 is preferred.
