p. 90, 3.79, in last line change 4.37 to 4.40
p. 124, 4th line of equations change 10 to 20 in 600(P/A, 6%, 10)
p. 131, Exp. 5.11, 2nd line, increase by $2K or 4% per year. Not or 4K, per year.
p. 143, 5.47 (b), change $100 to $25
p. 164, last line of Exp 6.12b, should be comma not period in $144,748
p. 183, 1st line, Should read: If the present worths at i1 and i2 are opposite in sign,
p. 192, 2nd line of 1st paragraph, switch values and i so that reads: NPV(i,values)
p. 203, 7.39 (a) 4th line, replace “cost of the loan?” with “loan rate if fee is added to the principal?
p. 268, Eq. 10.1, replace × with −
