Suppose I have computed the cost of carbon per mile for my car at 0.011 per mile. Assume that the interest rate is 5% and that I drive the car 30,000 miles per year. What is present value of the carbon expense for five years? You will need to use the PV function in Excel or a financial calculator. In Excel the present value of a stream of monetary cash flows is given by -PV(rate, number of payments, payment amount) where rate is the interest rate. We enter the payment in Excel as a positive number. You can also compute the carbon cost per year and then discount those five values back to the present.

The manufacturer of smart printers is trying to decide what price to set for its product. The demand and cost function are assumed to be as follows: P = 80 -2Q TC= 160 +50Q-1.5Q ² What price should the company charge if it wants to maximize its profit in the short run? What is the optimal quantity for the printer following this optimal price?
A manufacturer sells a particular product in both Brazil and the U.S. In Brazil, the manufacturer has been selling 4,900 units per year of the product at a price of $200 and a contribution margin of 25 percent. For sales of this product in Brazil, calculate the breakeven sales level for a $20 price increase. Show your work. In the U.S., the manufacturer’s price for this product is $400 and the contribution margin is 50 percent. The manufacturer knows that, because of gray market commerce, every one-unit change of sales of this product in Brazil leads to a 0.15-unit sales change in the opposite direction in the U.S. Given this information, recalculate the breakeven sales level in Brazil described in Part a. Show your work. Using the course material, describe the concept of a price corridor. Then explain how the difference between the breakeven you calculated in Part (b) and the one you calculated in Part (a) is helpful for applying the price-corridor concept in this situation.
The student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers isplanning a six-day trip to the national conference in Albany, NY. For transportation, the group will rent a car from either the State Tech Motor Pool or a local car dealer. TheMotor Pool charges $0.36 per mile, has no daily fee, and pays for the gas. The local car dealer charges $30 per day and $0.20 per mile, but the group must pay for the gas. The car’s fuel rating is 20 miles per gallon, and the price of gas is estimated to be $2.00 per gallon. Solve, a. At what point, in miles, is the cost of both optionsequal? b. The car dealer has offered a special student discount and will give the students 100 free miles per day. What is the new breakeven point? c. Suppose now that the Motor Pool reduces its all-inclusive rate to $0.34 per mile and that the car dealer increases the rate to $30 per day and $0.28 permile. In this case, the car dealer wants to encourage student business, so he offers 900 free miles for the…

[Use Excel] You are planning to buy a new car before you move to a new place for a job after graduation. You are given two options. 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. [Round the final answer to an integer by round(answer,0) command]
Electricity is produced with water according to the function: E = 5 + 5W-1W² where E = kilowatt-hour and W = gallons of water. Water costs $0.02 per gallon. Electricity can be sold on the grid for $0.10 per kWh (kilowatt-hour). How much water should be purchased?
You and two friends find yourself craving a fresh pizza while preparing for the final exam on the engineering economy. You can't spend time picking up the pizza and you have to have it shipped. 'Pick-up-Sticks' offers 1-1/4-inch thick (including toppings), 20-inch square pizza with your option of two toppings for $15 plus 5 percent sales tax, and $1.50 delivery fee (no sales tax on delivery price). "Fred's" offers Sasquatch round, deep-dish, which is 20 inches in diameter. It is 1-3/4 inches thick, contains two toppings, and costs $17.25 plus sales tax of 5 percent and free delivery. (1) What is the problem in this situation? Please state that clearly and specifically. (2) Apply the seven principles of engineering economy systematically to the problem you set out in Part (1) (3) If your common unit of measurement is dollars (i.e., cost), what is the better value for having a pizza based on the criterion of reducing cost per unit volume? (4) What other criteria might be used to select…
