Abstract

Standard texts in Engineering Economy, and/or Economic Analysis develop and list equations for various cash flow analyses. In these texts the independent variables and/or parameters are assumed to be known deterministically. In practice, however, it is often possible to establish for such values the distribution and its parameters. This paper extends the stochastic formulations for each of the commonly used equations for various combinations and permutations of distributions in so far as the variances are concerned.
