   If you desire a feeling for where this program fits into
the general scheme of things please read ALP_INTR.TXT.   It
was included on the ALPS Software Disks.
   This program can be used to perform decision analysis
studies.   There are seven algorithms used in this program:
single pay compound amount factor, single pay present worth
factor, uniform series sinking fund factor, uniform series
capital recovery factor, uniform series compound amount
factor, uniform series present worth factor, and an algorithm
for determining the anticipated dollar salvage value of land
and building.
   These algorithms are combined to allow performing or
forming discounted cash flow analysis, amortization tables
(including pay back strategy analysis), depreciation
schedules (straight line or sum of the years methods), and
rate of return analysis.
   No attempt is made here to teach Engineering Economics,
only to provide a tool for those so trained.
