ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.12 : You, as an engineer, buy a piece of biochemical instrument to start a servicing business. The instrument has a useful life of 3 years, that costs $60k. The instrumental business generates $100k per year. The labor costs $50k per year. The $60k new instrument depreciates in its value evenly up to 3 years, thereafter the old instrument needs to be replaced by another piece of new instrument. (i) In the first year of this engineering business : (a) what is its starting cash? (b) calculate the depreciation value of the instrument. (c) find the operating profit generated. (d) what is the capital expense of the business? (e) calculate the cash from operation. (f) calculate the ending cash. (ii) Based on the income statement of the business in the second year : (a) find the capital expense of the business. (b) what is its starting cash? (c) calculate the depreciation value of the instrument. (d) find the operating profit generated. (e) calculate the cash from operation. (f) calculate the ending cash.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - ANSWER 34.12 : (i)(a) Starting cash = $60k = cost of instrument. (b) Depreciation = instrumental (cost / useful life) = $60k / 3 years = $20k / year. (c) Operating profit = revenue - labor cost - depreciation = $100k - $50k - $20k = $30k. (d) Capital expense = $60k = cost of instrument. (e) Cash from operation = operating profit + depreciation = $30k + $20k = $50k. (f) Ending cash = starting cash + cash from operation - capital expense = $60k + $50k - $60k = $50k. (ii) (a) Capital expense of year 2 = 0. (b) Starting cash of year 2 = ending cash of year 1 = $50k. (c) Depreciation value = answer in (i)(b) = $20k / year. (d) Operating profit = answer in (i)(c) = $30k. (e) Cash from operation = answer in (i)(e) = $50k. (f) Ending cash = answer in (ii)(b) + answer in (ii)(e) - answer in (ii)(a) = $50k + $50k - 0 = $100k.

X is strong but has a very low density (1% of traditional earth materials.) and hence light weight. It is a recyclable material. The compression behaviour of X is strain rate dependent. Higher strain rates result in higher initial modulus and higher compression strength. It can also withstand unlimited number of cycling loading provided the repetitive loads are kept below 80% of the compressive strength. The internal structure of the material includes air-traps which make it poor heat conductor. X is non- biodegradable and chemically inert in both soil and water. Most acids and their water solutions do not attack it; however strong oxidizing acids do. Solvents which attack X include esters, ketones, ethers, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons and their emulsions, among others. It does not support bacterial/fungal growth as well .It also has significant acoustic properties and effectively reduces the transmission of airborne sound. X is combustible and should not be exposed to open flame or other ignition sources. Combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water and soot. Long-term exposure to sunlight causes yellowing and a slight embrittlement of the surface due to ultraviolet light. X is able to withstand the rigours of temperature cycling, assuring long-term performance.
