CHAPTER VI COMPARING ALTERNATIVES
BASIC CONCEPTS FOR COMPARING ALTERNATIVES
Alternatives are called mutually exclusive when the selection of one feasible method or
alternative excludes the consideration of any other alternative.
An engineering economy study must be performed to determine which one to choose among
mutually exclusive alternatives and how much capital to invest because of different levels of
investment produce varying economic outcomes.
If the extra benefits obtained by investing additional capital are better than those that could be
obtained from investment of the same capital elsewhere in the company at the MARR, the
investment should be made. If this is not the case, we obviously would not invest more than the
minimum amount of capital required, including the possibility of nothing at all. Stated simply,
our rule will keep as much as possible invested at a rate of return equal to or greater than the
MARR.
