Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 3P
A new snow making machine utilizes technology that permits snow to be produced in ambient temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit or below. The estimated cash flows for the ski resort contemplating this investment are uncertain as shown below (note: pr. = probability).
The machine is expected to have a useful life of 12 years, and the MARR of the ski resort is 8% per year. What is the expected present worth of this investment?

Hello Professor,
A rise in consumption in the economy would cause an increase in aggregate demand. Therefore, when consumers spend money on everyday goods and services, it not only helps to stimulate economic growth, but it could also present potential issues like unsustainable debt levels or inflation. I believe that it would be beneficial to consider such factors and adopt a purchasing strategy to help navigate the challenges posed by inflation or unsustainable debt levels.
First, do you think our business will be affected because inflation is rising? How?
Yes, I do believe that the business will be affected because of inflationary pressures. Inflation rising will affect the cost of goods, services, and labor, which could lead to higher operating expenses. The potential reduction of profit margin because of inflation could lead to a smaller percentage of revenue being retained as profit. Therefore, inflation rising will force us to raise prices for…

A recent data breach of U.S.-based Home Depot involved some 56 million cardholders. Just to investigate and cover the immediate direct costs of this identity theft amounted to an estimated $62,000,000, of which $27,000,000 was recovered by insurance company payments. This does not include indirect costs, such as, lost future business, costs to banks, and cost to replace cards. If a cyber security vendor had proposed 8 years before the breach that a $10,000,000 investment in a malware detection system could guard the company's computer and payment systems from such a breach, would it have kept up with the rate of inflation estimated at 4% per year?arrow_forward
