20. Consider an industry with three firms. The table below provides information about their current level of pollution emissions and their marginal cost of abatement. Firm Current pollution emissions 70 units of pollution Marginal cost of abatement $20 $25 $10 80 50 Now, the government decides it wants to reduce pollution emissions. If the government provides these firms with 40 tradeable pollution permits each, how much would each firm pollute? a. Each firm would emit 40 units of pollution b. A would emit 70 units, B would emit zero units, and C would emit 50 units of pollution A would emit 40 units, B would emit 80 units, and C would emit zero units of pollution d. A would emit 60 units, B would emit 60 units, and C would emit zero units of pollution e. None of the above C.

A pipeline engineer working in Kuwait for the oil giant BP wants to perform a present worth analysis on alternative pipeline routings—the first predominately by land and the second primarily undersea. The undersea route is more expensive initially due to extra corrosion protection and installation costs, but cheaper security and maintenance reduces annual costs. Use Present Worth Analysis with a MARR = 10% to determine which route should be selected.

Identify two types of such a company and explain why. QUESTION TWO Total [12 marks] Finozest Solutions is considering setting up a facility to manufacture computers. The manufacturing facility will cost K15 million to build and will have the capacity to sell 50,000 computers a year. Each computer is expected to sell retail for K2,800, and the cost of making each computer is expected to be K1,400. The fixed costs amount to K150,000 per year are expected to be incurred. The business will run for five years, at which time you estimate the market value of the facility to be zero. The discount rate is estimated at 10%, and the tax rate is 40%.

18. Questions 18 and 19 are based on the following information: Regine Company manufactures plugs used in its manufacturing cycle at a cost of Ph 36 per unit that includes Ph 8 of fixed overhead. Regine needs 30,000 of these plugs annually and Orlan Company has offered to sell these units to Regine at Ph 33 per unit. If Regine decides to purchase the plugs, Ph 60,000 of the annual fixed overhead applied will be eliminated, and the company may be able to rent the facility previously used for manufacturing the plugs. If Regine Company purchases the plugs but does not rent the unused facility, the company would * save Ph 3.00 per unit lose Ph 6.00 per unit save Ph 2.00 per unit lose Ph 3.00 per unit O O
Problem 17.049: Calculate the after-tax AW of two alternatives A European candy manufacturing plant manager must select a new irradiation system to ensure the safety of specific ingredients, while being economical. The two alternatives available have the following estimates: System First Cost, $ CFBT, $ per Year Life, Years A -115,000 60,000 3 B -70,000 20,000 5 The company is in the 35% tax bracket and assumes classical straight line depreciation for alternative comparisons performed at an after-tax minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) of 7% per year. A salvage value of zero is used when depreciation is calculated; however, system B can be sold after 5 years for an estimated 20% of its first cost. System A has no anticipated salvage value. Determine which is more economical using an annual worth (AW) analysis worked by hand. The annual worth analysis for system A is determined to be $ 8590.16 The annual worth analysis for system B is determined to be $ -4284.96 System A is…
