Målsætning : The overall course objective is to give the students an understanding of the basic concepts and models within engineering economy. This should enable the students to identify, analyse, and solve design economic problems and to evaluate the solutions.
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
• Optimize the combination of substitutable production factors.
• Optimize a production within limited resources.
• Evaluate relationships between prices and sale.
• Optimize production, combining cost and market information.
• Calculate product cost.
• Describe the economical consequences of an investment proposal.
• Evaluate the profitability of alternative investment proposals.
