The cost of grading and spreading gravel on a curvy rural road is expected to be $300,000. The road will have to be maintained at a cost of $40,000 per year. Even though the new road is not very smooth, it allows access to an area that previously could only be reached with off-road vehicles. The improved accessibility has led to a 150% increase in the property values along the road. If the previous market value of the property was $900,000, calculate the conventional B/C ratio using an interest rate of 6% per year and a 20-year study period. What is the conventional B/C ratio?

A merchant who sells newspapers and magazines at the corner kiosk heard you manage the Times’ inventory and asks for your advice. She has a small, variable number of customers who daily purchase the Chicago Sun Times. In order to get the newspapers in time, she has to place an order for the next day’s newspapers before noon. She pays $0.50 for each newspaper and sells them for $1.50 each. She has kept detailed records of her past sales of the Chicago Sun Times and estimates that 10% of the time she sells 10 newspapers, 40% of the time she sells 11, 30% of the time she sells 12, and 20% of the time she sells 13. (a) What is the merchant’s marginal profit and marginal loss? (b) Determine how many Chicago Sun Times newspapers she should buy every day to maximize expected profits. (c) Calculate the merchant’s expected profits for the optimal order quantity. (d) The merchant has always purchased 13 newspapers, thinking that the best way to maximize profits was to always meet the demand.…

10.61 The per-store daily customer count (i.e., the mean number of customers in a store in one day) for a nationwide convenience store chain that operates nearly 10,000 stores has been steady, at 900, for some time. To increase the customer count, the chain is considering cutting prices for coffee beverages. The question to be determined is how much to cut prices to increase the daily customer count without reducing the gross margin on coffee sales too much. You decide to carry out an experiment in a sample of 24 stores where customer counts have been running almost exactly at the national average of 900. In 6 of the stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.59, in 6 stores the price of a small coffee will now be $0.69, in 6 stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.79, and in 6 stores, the price of a small coffee will now be $0.89. After four weeks of selling the coffee at the new price, the daily customer count in the stores was recorded and stored in . At the 0.05…
