A mining company is offered a 9-year lease for a coal mine at a cost of P120M. The engineers estimate the company will be able to mine 15 000 tons/yr for the first four years and 22 500 tons/yr for the next five years. Operating costs is computed at P1250/ton, while the price of coal is P2750/ton. If the company requires a 12% minimum rate of return on its investment, determine if the offer should be considered Apply PW analysis. (Ans. Offer should be accepted, P25.66M)

Question 7 (10 points) Listen Figure 2-7 HOURS WITHOUT SLEEP Refer to Figure 2-7. Taking cause and effect into account, which of the following interpretations would be most reasonable regarding the relationship between coffee and hours without sleep? The less coffee a person drinks per day, the more time he can go without sleep. There is no relationship betwveen how much coffee per day a person drinks and how long he can go without sleep. The more coffee a person drinks per day, the more time he can go without sleep. The more coffee a person drinks per day, the less time he can go without sleep.

6. For your birthday, you receive a hamper from your friend, which contains food and drink. They have chosen to buy you 8 packs of hot chocolate and 10 packs of luxury biscuits. Unfortunately, the hot chocolate is not milk chocolate and the biscuits are chocolate chip and not your favourite ginger biscuits! They haven't provided the receipt, but you return to the shop where the hamper was bought and ask to exchange the items. Each pack of hot chocolate was priced at £5 and each pack of biscuits was priced at £6. You face a utility function of U (Hċ, B) = H²B. When you return to the shop, you see that all of the biscuits are now half price, but all of the types of hot chocolate haven't changed in price. You are able to exchange your biscuits and hot chocolate, but can only receive a refund based on the current marked price of the products in the shop. Given this information and assuming hot chocolate is on the horizontal axis and your aim to maximise utility, what should you do? (a) You…

PROBLEM (1) (Rational Choice) Suppose your friend is about to buy a digital camera. A digital camera is identified with three dimensions; 1) resolution (in megapixels), 2) optical zoom (a real number) and 3) battery life (a number of hours). For example, A = (8, 4, 20) is a camera with 8mp resolution and x4 optical zoom and 20 hours of battery life. When he goes into a store, he faces a menu of cameras. When comparing two cameras if camera A is weakly better than B on at least 2 dimensions, it is weakly preferred to the other; written A ≥preferred B. a) Is this preference relation complete? Transitive? Prove it or show an example where the property doesn't hold. b) Suppose the agent chooses from any menu of cameras, a camera that is (weakly) preferred to all other cameras in the menu. Would this choice function be rational, given (a)? Briefly explain your reasoning.
