Recurring Cost

Learning Curve

As more units are made, the recurring cost per


unit decreases.
This is the learning curve effect.

e.g. Fabrication is done more quickly, less


material is wasted.

Yx

Y0 x

Yx = number of hours to produce unit x


n = log b/log 2

Typical Cost Modeling

1. Take empirical data from past programs.


2. Perform regression to get variation with
selected parameters, e.g. cost vs. weight.

3. Apply judgment factors for your case.


e.g. configuration factors, complexity
factors, composite factors.
There is widespread belief that aircraft
manufacturers do not know what it actually
costs to turn out their current products.

Valuation Techniques

The top 5 investor questions:


How much will I need to invest?
How much will I get back?
When will I get my money back?
How much is this going to cost me?
How are you handling risk & uncertainty?
Investment Criteria
Net present value
Payback
Discounted payback
Internal rate of return
9/19/2004

16.885

AEROSPACE COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN LABORATORY

Net Present Value (NPV)

Measure of present value of various cash flows in different


periods in the future
Cash flow in any given period discounted by the value of a
dollar today at that point in the future
Time is money

A dollar tomorrow is worth less today since if properly


invested, a dollar today would be worth more tomorrow
Rate at which future cash flows are discounted is

determined by the discount rate or hurdle rate

Discount rate is equal to the amount of interest the


investor could earn in a single time period (usually a
year) if s/he were to invest in a safer investment
9/19/2004

16.885

AEROSPACE COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN LABORATORY

Calculating NPV

Forecast the cash flows of the project over Its


economic life
Treat investments as negative cash flow
Determine the appropriate opportunity cost of capital

(i.e. determine the discount rate r)


Use opportunity cost of capital to discount the future
cash flow of the project
Sum the discounted cash flows to get the net present
value (NPV)

AEROSPACE COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN LABORATORY

Discount Rate

One of the problems with NPV: what discount rate


should we use?
The discount rate is often used to reflect the risk

associated with a project:


the riskier the project, use a higher discount rate
Typical discount rates for commercial aircraft programs:
12-20%
The higher the discount rate, the more it does not
matter what you do in the future...

9/19/2004

16.885

AEROSPACE COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN LABORATORY

Payback Period

How long it takes before entire initial investment is


recovered through revenue
Insensitive to time value of money, i.e. no discounting

Gives equal weight to cash flows before cut-off date & no


weight to cash flows after cut-off date
Cannot distinguish between projects with different NPV
Difficult to decide on appropriate cut-off date

9/19/2004

16.885

AEROSPACE COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN LABORATORY

Discounted payback

Payback criterion modified to account for the time


value of money
Cash flows before cut-off date are discounted

Surmounts objection that equal weight is given to all


flows before cut-off date
Cash flows after cut-off date still not given any weight

9/19/2004

16.885

AEROSPACE COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN LABORATORY

Internal rate of return (IRR)

Investment criterion is rate of return must be greater


than the opportunity cost of capital
Internal rate of return is equal to the discount rate for
which the NPV is equal to zero

Dynamic Programming

A way of including uncertainty and flexibility in the


program valuation
Key features:

Certain aspects of the system may be uncertain, e.g. the

demand quantity for a given aircraft = UNCERTAINTY

In reality, the decision-maker (aircraft manufacturer) has


the ability to make decisions in real-time according to
how the uncertainty evolves = FLEXIBILITY
