The UMD Sustainability Office has said that carbon would need to be priced at around $100 per ton before it would make financial sense for the university to move away from their current power plant. This suggests that: a. UMD's discount rate is very low. b. All of these are true. c.if carbon was priced at $50 per ton, the university would simply pay the $50 per ton cost for carbon emissions generated by the power plant d.UMD is behaving in a dynamically inconsistent way

A privately run, for-profit, prison is considering ways in which it can cut its monthly costs and therefore increase profit. One idea it is considering is to pay a judge to guarantee convicted prisoners in poor health win their appeals and are set free. The prison believes it can realize the monthly cost savings below over the initial year of the plan. What is the present value of the first year's monthly cost savings? My answer is suppose to come up with 49701. This is the third time I have sent this problem threw I need to be credited for the other two times. I am waisting my questions by having to resubmit the questions 2 to 3 times. Please help thanks!! Month Savings ($) 1 3,500 2 6,000 3 6,500 4 9,000 5 9,000 6 9,000 7 9,400 8 9,800 9 4,800 10 5,000 11 2,000 12 3,500 Total 77,500
Consider a drill press containing three drill bits. The current policy (called individual replacement) is to replace a drill bit when it fails. The firm is considering changing to a block replacement policy in which all three drillbits are replaced whenever a single drill bit fails. Each time the drill press is shut down, the cost is $100. A drill bit costs $50, and the variable cost of replacing a drill bit is $10. Assume that the time to replace a drill bit isnegligible. Also, assume that the time until failure for a drill bit follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 100 hours. This can be modeled in @RISK with the formula 5RISKEXPON (100). (Note: If you have the academic version of @RISK, this problem will require more RISKEXPON functions than the 100 allowed, but there is an easy workaround. An exponentially distributed random variable can be generated with Excel functions only using the formula =-Mean*LN(RAND()). Then @RISK can still be used to run the simulation.)…

An electrical utility is experiencing a sharp power demand that continues to grow at a high rate in a certain local area. Two alternatives are under consideration. Each is designed to provide enough capacity during the next 25 years, and both will consume the same amount of fuel, so fuel cost is not considered in the analysis. • Alternative A. Increase the generating capacity now so that the ultimate demand can be met without additional expenditures later. An investment of $33 million would be required, and it is estimated that this plant facility would be in service for 25 years and have a salvage value of $0.7 million. The annual operating and maintenance costs (including income taxes) would be $0.4 million. salvage • Alternative B. Spend $15 million now and follow this expenditure with future additions during the 10th year and the 15th year. These additions would cost $18 million and $12 million, respectively. The facility would be sold 25 years from now with a value of $1.25…

38. A start-up company, Macrotech, plans to produce a device to translate Morse code to a written message on a home computer and to send written messages in Morse code over the airwaves. The device is primarily of interest to ham radio enthusi- asts. The president, Ron Lodel, estimates that it would require a $30,000 initial investment. Each unit costs him $20 to produce and each sells for $85. a. How many units must be sold in order for the firm to recover its initial investment? b. What is the total revenue at the break-even volume? c. If the price were increased to $100 each, find the break-even volume.
