Suppose a group of cattle ranchers each have $100 to spend. The farmers can either purchase a steer for $100, and let itgraze in a common grazing area, or they can buy a bond with the $100 which receives an interest rate of 9%.

2. You purchase special equipment that reduces defects by $10,000 per year on an item. This item is sold on contract for the next five years. After the contract expires, the special equipment will save approximately $2,000 per year for five years. You assume that the machine has no market value at the end of ten years. How much can you afford to pay for this equipment now if you require a 20% annual return on your investment?

The value of land in Manhattan was around $150 billion in 2008. Imagine that it is 1626 and you are the economic advisor to the Dutch when they are considering whether to buy Manhattan from the Manhasset Indians. Further,assume that the relevant interest rate for calculating the present value is 4%per year. Would you advice the Dutch that a purchase price of $24 is a good deal or not? How would your answer change if the interest rate were 6%? And 8%? (Hint: for each interest rate,calculate the present value in 1626 of the land value as of 2008. Then compare that with the purchase price in 1626. For example, simplify by assuming that the owners collect no rents on the land. As an advanced further question,assume that the rent equals 2% of the value of the land each year.)
