Your borrower is being relocated and needs to close on the purchase of their new home in thirty days. Their spouse will not be moving for
another six months. How much income can be used for qualifying if the relocating borrower is earning $120,000 annually and the trailing spouse
is earning $43,000 annually? (FHLMC)

An electric utility company is considering a re-engineering of a major hydroelectric facility. The project would yield
greater capacity and lower cost per kilowatt-hour of power. As a result of the project, the price of power would be
reduced. This is expected to increase the quantity of power demanded. The following data are available

The village has a hiking lodge whose visitors use the lake for
recreation. The village also has a fish cannery that dumps
industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and
makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the
fish cannery's waste decreases the hiking lodge's economic
profit.
Suppose that the fish cannery could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to
levels safe for recreation, and the hiking lodge would no longer be affected. If the fish cannery uses the recycling method, then the fish cannery's
economic profit is $2,200 per week, and the hiking lodge's economic profit is $3,200 per week. If the fish cannery does not use the recycling method,
then the fish cannery's economic profit is $3,000 per week, and the hiking lodge's economic profit is $2,000 per week. These figures are summarized
in the following table.
Complete the following table by computing the total profit (the fish…

- A, B and C pleasearrow_forwardA diesel refinery is upstream of an industrial farm. The runoff from the refinery pollutes the river and damages the crops. The farm earns $499 using the polluted water, but would earn $628 if it were clean. The refinery earns $1772 but would only earn $1607 if it had to divert resources to prevent the runoff. There are no environmental laws. Assume that a scrubbing machine that would prevent the runoff costs $24 plus an installation cost.

- A manufacturer produces some output called "Product" using a raw material called Input". To production of 1 ton of Product requires 3/5 ton of Input. The manufacturer has a contract to deliver 50 tons of Product to Store M (Store M is the "market" for Product). Input is available in Spot N (Spot N is the source of Input, equivalent to "mine" om the Spot N. The ship Product and Input are $2 per ton per mile. We will help the manufacturer to find the total transport-cost minimizing factory location. To arrive at the answer, go through the following steps in parts (a), (b) and (c).

Currently the production level of the industry is 250 units and the market price is 1,500 (MU/unit). Market studies carried out by companies estimate that if the price rises At 1,800 (mu/unit) the quantity demanded would fall to 200 units and the marginal cost of the production of each company in this new production level is 1,300 (m.u./unit).

Without the pilot test, the existing waterflooding will continue with an estimated NPV of $36 MM USD. Historically, polymer-flooding pilot tests resulted with promising results in 65% of the cases, and results are representative for large-scale flooding in 70% of the cases (can be considered as right data are collected). • In the case of a promising pilot-test, large scale project will have an NPV of $80 MM, but if the pilot test is not representative (is wrong), this will result in a loss of $40 MM USD. • In the case of a not-promising pilot-test, existing waterflood will continue as it is, with an NPV of $36 MM USD. Calculate the value-of-information of the pilot test, by considering Lohrenz's Method.arrow_forwardE3arrow_forward
