Production engineers of a manufacturing firm have proposed a new equipment to increase productivity of a manual gas-cutting operation. The initial investment (first cost) is Rs. 5,00,000 and the equipment will have a salvage value of Rs. 1,00,000 at the end of its expected life of 5 years. Increased productivity will yield an annual revenue of Rs. 2, 00,000 per year. If the firm's minimum attractive rate of return is 15%, is the procurement of the new equipment economically justified? Use P.W. method.

Hans is a butcher in Washington. The following contains data on prices and weekly sales at his shop Good Beef Chicken Price 9.00/lbs $4.00/lbs Quantity 400 lbs 300 lbs ShS He estimates that the own price elasticity for beef is 2 and for chicken is .75. He also estimates that the cross price elasticity for chicken is .60. His current revenue from the sale of these two goods is making a total of $4800/week. In the spirit of the return to good times and outdoor grilling, he has decided to lower the price of beef for the summer, from $9.00 to $8.55. Overall, Hans can expect to take in dollars in revenue, given the information in this problem? (Revenue = Price x sales). Record your answer without a dollar sign and without a comma. Helpful Hint: In this problem, we are not changing the price of chicken.
