The first one is the Toyota Prius which has an initial cost of $25,000 with miles per gallon (MPG) of 50. The second option is a regular sedan car with an initial cost of $18,000 and an MPG of 25. If the gasoline price is $ 4.50/gallon, the annual effective interest rate is 8%, beyond which annual mileage of the car you will choose Prius over the regular car. The car is supposed to stay for 10 years.

You have been taking a course on game theory at university. After attending 10 of 15 hours of classes, you realize that you don’t enjoy the subject and are likely to do poorly in the final exam. At this point, you could stop attending these classes and give up on the course. However, you decide that since you have already spent so much time going to class, it would be costly to stop attending them. Is this reasoning correct?

As a PMO officer, you are asked to do an evaluation for a natural gas pipeline right in the middle of the project’s planned schedule. There are concerns that it will go over budget and schedule because 40 million dollars has been spent in the project so far. According to the project charter, the pipeline length is 72 km and must be completed in 6 months, with a budget of 57.6 million AUD. You performed an inspection and find out that installation of 30 km of pipeline has been completed.
Using earned value analysis, answer the following questions:

Engineering Econ:
Recently, you were in a car crash and are looking to decide whether to purchase a gas-powered Toyota RAV4 or the RAV4 hybrid that uses both gasoline and electric power. The traditional, gas-powered RAV4 sells for $26,000 and gets 22 miles per gallon (mpg) of fuel. The hybrid vehicle sells for $32,000 and averages 34 mpg. The resale value of the hybrid RAV4 is $4,000 more than that of the traditional RAV4 after five years of anticipated ownership. Assume that you badly need a new car (since insurance will only cover a rental for so long), such that both alternatives are acceptable; as such, you can consider the traditional RAV4 the baseline for comparison. If you drive 15,000 miles per year and gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon, what is the annual internal rate of return associated with the incremental investment in the hybrid RAV4? (Express your answer as a percentage, rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, e.g., 17.5 if you believe the answer is 17.5% per year.)

Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Suppose that this market is in long-run competitive equilibrium with many hot dog stands in the
city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs. Therefore, each vendor is a price taker and possesses no market power.
The following graph shows the demand (D) and supply (S = MC) curves in the market for hot dogs.

A logistic analysis indicates that if a new bridge across the Cumberland River is constructed near a busy highway intersection in the commercial part of a mid-western town, the transportation cost of delivery trucks can be saved significantly. Logistics TransNet Industrial Consortium estimates that the construction (first) cost of the bridge is $1,900,000 and annual upkeep is estimated to be $25,000 per year. In addition to annual upkeep, major maintenance work is anticipated every ten years at a cost of $350,000 per occurrence. Annual savings in transportation cost is expected to be $150,000 per year. The salvage value of this bridge is negligible. The Consortium uses a MARR of 8% per year. Suppose that the bridge has a useful life of 30 years, what is the exact rate of return of this bridge construction?
