Explanation of Solution

Defender: The annual cost of the defender for first year (ACD1) is $40,000, and it increases (ACDI) by $2,000 per year. The time period (n) is 4 years. The interest rate (i) is 12%.

Challenger: The market value (MVC) is $150,000. The annual value for the first year (ACC1) is $10,000, and it increases (ACI) by $500 per year. The salvage value (SVC) is 50,000. The time period (n1) is 10 years.

The market value of defender (MVD) is calculated as follows:

(MVD(i(1+i)n(1+i)n1)(AC1+ACI(1in(1+i)n11)))=(MVC(i(1+i)n1(1+i)n11)(AC1+ACI(1in(1+i)n11))+SVC(i(1+i)n11))(MVD(0.12(1+0.12)4(1+0.12)41)(40,000+2,000(10.124(1+0.12)41)))=(150,000(0.12(1+0.12)10(1+0.12)101)(10,000+500(10.125(1+0.12)101))+50,000(0.12(1+0.12)101))(MVD(0.32923)(40,000+2,000(1.3589)))=(150,000(0.17698)(10,000+500(3.5847))+50,000(0.05698))(MVD(0.32923)(40,000+2,717.8))=(26,547(10,000+1,792.35)+2,849)MVD(0.32923)=42,717.835,490.35MVD=7,227.450.32923MVD=21,952.59

The market value of the defender is -$21,952.59. The negative sign indicates that the owner of the machine should pay the amount in order to purchase the challenger.

3. Case 2) Coal plants exit, and Solar generation enters the market Now, let's consider a scenario where the coal power plant (#1) shuts down and exits the market, and a solar generation facility is constructed. The capacity of the solar generation facility is the same as the coal power plant that went out of business. The generation capacities of this market are shown below, along with their MC. Table 3: Power Plant Capacity and Marginal Cost: Case 2 Plant # Energy Source Capacity (MW) MC (S/MWh) 2 Oil 100 90 3 Natural Gas 500 50 4 Nuclear 600 0 5 Solar 300 5 Note that the solar plant (#5) can generate electricity only from 7 AM until 5PM. During these hours, the plant can generate up to its full capacity (300 MW) but cannot generate any when unavailable. (a) Draw a supply curve for each hourly market (4AM, 10 AM, 2PM, 6PM). (b) Find the market clearing prices and calculate how much electricity each power plant generates in the hourly market (4AM, 10AM, 2PM, and 6PM). (c) Find the…

Selected Macroeconomic indicators Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) measure the value of household goods and services consumed and are a key indicator of consumer spending. -        Retail Sales: This tracks the total receipts of retail stores and provides insight into consumer demand and spending trends. -        Patterns over the past year:   Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Over the past year, PCE has steadily increased, reflecting consumer confidence and willingness to spend. The growth rate has been moderate, driven by wage growth, low unemployment rates, and government stimulus measures. However, inflationary pressures have also impacted real purchasing power, leading to a mixed outlook. -        Retail sales have also experienced fluctuations but have generally trended upwards. After a…
