values. In addition, discrete compounding or continuous compounding can be used. Finally, the BSM equations or the BS option table can be used. Shown below are solutions for all combinations of the alternatives, except using the BS option table. a) T = 24, discrete compounding, with rf = (1.04)1/12 -1 = 0.003274 and F = sqrt[(0.30)2/12)] = 8.6603%. S = $55.00, X = $58.50, d1 = {ln(55/58.50) + [ln(1.003274) + (0.086603)2/2](24)}/ [0.086603sqrt(24)] = 0.25161, d2 = 0.25161 - 0.086603sqrt(24) = -0.17266, N(d1) = 0.59933, N(d2) = 0.43146, and C = 55(0.59933) - 58.50(0.43146)/(1.04)2 = $9.63 b) T = 24, continuous compounding, with rf = ln(1.04)/12 = 0.0032684 and F = sqrt[(0.30)2/12) = 8.6603%.

(2014)10The longer Park (2016) was published since Park (2013)7, so the shorter book will not beincluded. Other titles in engineering economy have lower market shares than the included books.Note that reference #s are included here, but due to the large number of repetitive labels andreferences, the texts are simply referred to by author and edition.We have chosen to focus on the content of formal examples that are presented as part of eachchapter rather than homework problems for two reasons. First, it is much clearer which approachor approaches are being used. Second, since several texts have total problem sets ranging fromnearly a 1000 to over 1500, using problems as a basis would be overwhelming.In analyzing the examples, the first step was

theindividual students’ roles. CATME is a short, web-based survey that collects and analyzes self-and peer-evaluation feedback. A behaviorally-anchored rating scale is utilized to assesscontributions of each team member in five areas based on the team effectiveness literature (Ohlandet al., (2012)23. The grade for each team-based component is multiplied by the CATME factor foreach student and that is the score entered for the student. As such, if a student does not pull his/herweight, s/he is penalized by the rest of the team and gets a lower grade than the rest of the teammembers. Conversely, if a student goes above and beyond the norm, s/he is recognized by theteammates and gets a higher grade than the original team score.It should be noted that
