Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are responsible for many deaths in times of strife and war. Unmanned ground vehicles (robots) can be used to disarm the IEDs and perform other tasks as well. If the robots cost $125,000 each and the military arms unit signs a contract to purchase 4,000 of them now and another 7,500 one year from now, what is the equivalent annual cost of the contract over a 8.00-year period at 12.00% per year interest? (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The equivalent cost of the contract is determined to be $

Thermal Systems, a company that specializes in odor control for wastewater treatment plants, made deposits of $100,000 now and $25,000 every 6 months for two years. Determine the future worth after 2 years of the deposits for i=16% per year, compounded bi- monthly (compounded once in two months). The future worth after 2 years of the deposits for / -16% per year, compounded bi-monthly (compounded once in two months) is $
Lotus Development has a software rental plan called SmartSuite that is available on the World Wide Web. A number of programs are available at $2.99 for 48 hours. If a construction company uses the service every week for an average of 48 hours, what is the future worth of the rental costs for 1 year at an interest rate of 1% per month, compounded weekly? (Assume 4 weeks per month.)
What is the equivalent annual cost in years 1 through 8.00 of a contract that has a first cost of $78,000 in year 0 and annual costs of $16,000 in years 3 through 8.00? Use an interest rate of 12.00% per year. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
A rotary engine powers a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) personal aircraft known as the Moller Skycar M400. It is a flying car known as a personal air vehicle (PAV), and it is expected to make its first untethered flight in 2020. The PAV has been under development for 29 years at a total cost of $105 million. Assuming the $105 million was spent in an equal amount each year, determine the future worth at the end of the 29-year period at an interest rate of 7% per year. The future worth is $
Nippon Steel's expenses for heating and cooling a large manufacturing facility are expected to increase according to an arithmetic gradient beginning in year 2. If the cost is $550,000 this year (year 0) and will be $550,000 again in year 1, but then it is estimated to increase by $41,000 each year through year 12, what is the equivalent annual worth in years 1 to 12 of these energy costs at an interest rate of 9.00% per year? The equivalent annual worth is determined to be $

By filling carbon nanotubes with miniscule wires made of iron and iron carbide, incredibly thin nanowires can be extruded by blasting the carbon nanotubes with an electron beam. If Gentech Technologies spends $12.7 million now in developing the process, how much must be received in licensing fees each year for the next 8 years (starting 1 year from now) to recover its investment at a 20% per year rate of return?
Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are responsible for many deaths in times of strife and war. Unmanned ground vehicles (robots) can be used to disarm the IEDs and perform other tasks as well. If the robots cost $165,000 each and the military arms unit signs a contract to purchase 3,500 of them now and another 9,000 one year from now, what is the equivalent annual cost of the contract over a 10- year period at 9% per year interest? The equivalent cost of the contract is determined to be $2254312500
