Two plan proposals for a bridge construction are to be evaluated. Plan A with an initial cost of P600,000 will have an estimated life of 30 years. Annual maintenance cost is P6,000.00, additional repairs every 5 years is P25,000 and salvage value after 30 years is P30,000. Plan B will have an estimated life of 50 years, an initial cost of P750,000, annual maintenance cost is P1,000, additional repairs every 5 years is P10,000 and salvage value is P125,000. If money is worth 9%, which of the two plan is economical?

please solve the following econometrics question! Explain the two conditions required for an instrumental variable. Make sure you express both conditions mathematically as well.
A lake has two species of fish: bass and catfish. The number of bass and catfish living in the lake, B and C respectively, depend on the temperature of the lake, T (in degrees Farenheit). The functions modeling this dependency are given below: B(T) = 8T2 + 976T – 28890 С(Т) 3D — 2T?+244T — 6893 What are the two temperatures at which the number of bass in the lake is the same as the number of catfish?

C. Suppose your neighbor is a physics major who also races motorcycles, and she tells you that horsepower can be expressed in terms of the following equation: H = MDA/S where M=mass, D-distance, A=acceleration and S and H are as defined above. Based on this conversation with your neighbor, you decide to change the functional form of the relationship to include 1/H rather than H as an explanatory variable because that's the appropriate theoretical relationship between the two variables. Estimate the above equation, substituting 1/H for H. Which of the two models do you prefer and why?

1. A Travel-Cost Method Now it is time for your first consulting job as an environmental economist. The Forest Service would like to know whether they should preserve some national forest land, previously slated to be logged, for hiking. You are helping do a travel-cost analysis to estimate the annual benefits of hiking in this area. Survey data has been gathered from 500 hikers who visited the forest last year. This forest did not charge an entrance fee. Using a statistical technique called regression analysis, you have controlled for differences in income, employment status, age, and other important factors that might affect the number of hiking trips taken. Taking these factors into account, you have developed the following relationship: Zone 1 2 3 Population in zone 1,000 3.000 2,000 Cost Per Hiking Trip Per Person 20 40 80 Hiking Trips Taken Per Zonal Person Per Year 8 6 2 where cost includes gas, tolls, fares, hotels, entry fees, and the value of time spent traveling. a.
