Learning Objectives:
At the end of this module, the student
should be able to:

Solve problems modelled by the


uniform series compound interest
formula
Use
arithmetic
and
geometric
gradients to solve appropriately
modelled problems
Apply nominal and effective interest
rates

Cash flow of this form may be resolved


into two components:

The term inside the bracket is the
arithmetic gradient uniform series factor.

Example 1
Andrew has purchased a new car. He
wishes to set aside enough money in a bank
account to pay the maintenance for the
first 5 years. It has been estimated that the
maintenance cost of a car is as follows:
Year Maintenance Cost
1
$120
2
150
3
180
4
210
5
240

Example 1 (cont.)
Assume the maintenance costs occur at the
end of each year and that the bank pays
5% interest. How much should Andrew
deposit in the bank now?

Solution Example 1
240
210
180
150
120

P = A(P/A, 5%, 5) + G(P/G, 5%, 5)


P = 120(P/A, 5%, 5) + 30(P/G, 5%, 5)
= 519 + 247

= $766.00

Example 2
On a certain piece of machinery, it is
estimated that the maintenance expense
will be as follows:
Year Maintenance
1
$100
2
200
3
300
4
400

What is the equivalent uniform annual


maintenance cost for the machinery if 6%
interest is used?

Solution Example 2:
0

100
200
300
400

A = 100 + 100(A/G, 6%, 4)


= $242.70
The equivalent uniform annual
maintenance cost is $242.70.

Example 3*
Demand for a new product will decline as
competitors enter the market. If interest is
10% what is an equivalent uniform value?
Year Revenue
1
$24, 000
2
18, 000
3
12, 000
4
6, 000

Solution Example 3:
$24,000

18,000

12,000

6,000
0

The gradient or change in each year is

-$6000
A = 24000 6000(A/G, 10%, 4)

= $15, 714.00

Example 4*
A cars warranty is 3 years. Upon expiration,
annual maintenance starts at $150 and
then climbs $25 per year until the car is sold
at the end of Year 7. Use a 10% interest rate
and find the present worth of these
expenses.

P = 150(P/A, 10%, 4) +

Geometric Gradient
Solving for P given A and g,

1 (1 + g)n (1 + i)n
P= A
ig
Where
g = uniform rate of cash flow
increase/decrease from period to period,
that is, the geometric gradient
A= value of cash flow at any year n

Example 11:
The first-year maintenance cost for a new
car is estimated to be $100, and its
increases at a uniform rate of 10% per year.
Using an 8% interest rate, calculate the
present worth of the cost of the first 5 years
of maintenance.

Solution Example 11:

1 (1 + g)n (1 + i)n
P=A
ig
P = 100

1 1.10 5 1.08 5
0.02

P = $480.42
The present worth of cost of maintenance
for the first 5 years is $480.42.
