Formulating
Alternatives
Two types of economic
proposals
Mutually Exclusive (ME) Alternatives: Only one can be
selected;
Compete against each other
5-4
Convert all cash flows to PW using MARR
Precede costs by minus sign; receipts
by plus sign
EVALUATION
For one project, if PW > 0, it is justified
For mutually exclusive alternatives,
select one with numerically largest
PW
Select alternative Y
5-7
PW of Different-Life
Alternatives
Must compare alternatives for equal
service
(i.e., alternatives must end at the
same time)

PW Evaluation Using a Study
Period
Once a study period is specified, all cash
flows
after this time are ignored
