Miss Fields is trying to decide which one of three compound accounts she should invest her profit from selling cookies in. She could invest in a quarterly account that compounds interest at a 6.32% annual rate a year, a monthly account that compounds interest at a 6.29% annual rate a year, or a weekly account that compounds interest at a 6.28% annual rate a year. Which account should she pick? Explain your choice by finding the effective rates of these accounts.
The research department at a manufacturing company has developed a new process that it believes will result in an improved product. Management must decide whether to go ahead and market the new product. The new product may or may not be better than the old one. If the new product is better and the company decides to market it, sales should increase by $70,000. If it is not better and they replace the old product with the new product on the market, they will lose $25,000 to competitors. If they decide not to market the new product, they will lose a total of $60,000 if it is better and just research costs of $20,000 if it is not. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) Prepare a payoff matrix. □ (Type an integer or decimal for each matrix element. Do not include the $ symbol in your answer.)
A large defense contractor is considering making a specialized investment in a facility to make helicopters. The firm currently has a contract with the government, which, over the lifetime of the contract, is worth 100mn euro to the firm. It is considering building a new production plant for these helicopters; doing so will reduce the production costs to the company, increasing the value of the contract from 100mn euro to 200mn euro. The cost of the plant will be 60mn euro. However, there is the possibility that the government will cancel the contract. If that happens, the value of the contract will fall to zero. The problem (from the company’s point of view) is that it will only find out about the cancellation after it completes the new plant. At this point, it appears that the probability that the government will cancel the contract is 0.45. Draw a decision tree reflecting the decisions and find the equilibrium.
A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $15000 to install and will have a useful life of 4 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. are expected to be $1500. A new power line will cost $13000 to install, with power costs expected to be $1200 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 4 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. At an interest rate of 14.00% per year, which alternative should be selected on the basis of a future worth analysis? (Include a minus sign if necessary.) The future worth of solar cells is $ _____ and that of electric line is $_____ . ?Solar cells? or ?Electric line? should be selected on the basis of a future worth analysis.
