2. TIME VALUE OF MONEY
Examples
• Checking following statements
Correct or Incorrect? (Interest Rate
is 5%/year )
– 98.000 VND = 105.600 VND next year
– 200.000 VND last year = 205.000 VND
this year
– 300.000 VND this year= 315.000 VND
next year
– 300.000 VND this year =288.714 VND
last year

Examples
• A contractor wishes to borrow $12,000 to
finance a project. The interest rate is 5% per
year. If the borrowed amount and the interest
are paid back after 3 yr, what will be the total
amount of the repayment?
F=12,000x(1+0.05)3
=$13,891.50
The amount of interest is $1,891.50
Examples
• A contractor want to set aside enough money
today in an interest-bearing account to have
$100,000 in 5 yr from now for the purchase of
a replacement piece of equipment. If the
company can receive 8% per year on its
investment, how much should be set aside
now to accrue the money?
P=100,000 / (1+0.08)5
=$68,058.32

6. Financial Management of
Construction
• Financial Planning
– Cost estimating prior to bidding or negotiating a
contract.
– Forecasting project income and expenditure
– Determining the amount of work undertake at
one time.
• Financial schedule or cash flow schedule
shows the planned rate of project expenditure
and project income.

1. Depreciation
• Depreciation is a major component of fixed costs and
has a significant affect on project cash flow.
• Decline in market value of an equipment due to age,
wear, deterioration, and obsolescence.

Factors in Computing Depreciation
Expense
The fixed asset’s initial cost
Its expected useful life
Its estimated value at the end
of its useful life.

Depreciation Methods
Straight line
Sum of the years’ digits method
Declining balance
Units of production
Straight line Method
• Provides for the same amount of
depreciation expense for each year of
the asset’s useful life
18
23/02/2016
Example 1
• A machine had a cost of $24,000, salvage value of $2,000 and
useful life of 5 years
• Annual depreciation expense =
Annual depreciation expense = Cost – Salvage value
Life
= $24,000 - $2,000
5 years
= $4,400 annual depreciation

Example 3
• A machine had a cost of $30,000, salvage of
$5,000 and useful life of 6 years. Compute
depreciation under the straight line method?
• What is depreciation expense in year 3?
Sum of the years’ digits method
• Find the annual depreciation and book value
at the end of each year for a track loader
having initial cost of $50,000, a salvage value
of $5,000, and expected life of 5 year.
21

Sum of the years’ digits method
Units of Production
• This method provides for the same amount of
depreciation expense for each unit produced
or each unit of capacity used by the asset
22

Example 4
• A machine had a cost of $24,000, salvage
value of $2,000, estimated total hours of
production of 10,000 and annual hours used
of 2,100 hours. Compute depreciation for the
period under the units of production method.
Example 4
• Depreciation rate per unit =
Cost – Salvage value
Estimated hour
= $24,000 - $2,000 = $2.20
10,000 hours
• Annual depreciation expense =
Hourly depreciation rate x annual hours
= $2.20 x 2,100 hours = $4,620

Example 5
• A machine had a cost of $30,000, salvage
value of $5,000, estimated total hours in
production of 5,000 and annual hours used of
900 hours. Compute the depreciation
expense for the period using the units of
production method
Declining Balance Method
• Provides for a declining periodic expense over
the estimated useful life of the asset.
