Suppose that $500 is invested at the end of every year for 5 years. The polynomial
function that models the value of the investment is
P(x) = 500x5 + 500x4 + 500x³ + 500x² + 500x, where x
represents the effective interest rate plus 100%. One year after the last payment, the
investment is worth $3200. Find the effective interest rate one year after the last
payment, to the nearest tenth. (Note: You will need to subtract 1 from the value of x
to find the effective interest rate.)
Suppose that an oil well is expected to produce 1,200,000 barrels of oil during its firstyear in production. However, its subsequent production (yield) is expected to increaseby 9% over the previous year's production. The oil well has a proven reserve of10,500,000 barrels.
(a)Suppose that the price of oil is expected to be $120 per barrel for the next six years.What would be the present worth of the anticipated revenue stream at an interest rateof 10% compounded annually over the next six years?(b)Suppose that the price of oil is expected to start at $120 per barrel during the firstyear, but to increase at the rate of 3% over the previous year's price. What would bethe present worth of the anticipated revenue stream at an interest rate of 10%compounded annually over the next six years?(c)Consider part (b) again. After three years' production, you decide to sell the oil well.What would be a fair price?
Question 4 The equivalent rate of interest for a discount rate of 10.5% for 60 days is 104.9825%. Hint: An interest rate r and discount rate d are said to be equivalent if these two simple rates give the same present value for an amount due in the future. Thus, r = d/(1 - dt) and d = r/(1 + rt)

Imagine that it is 1626 and you are the economic advisor to the Dutch when they are considering whether to buy Manhattan from the Manhasset Indians. Further,assume that the relevant interest rate for calculating the present value is 4%per year. Would you advice the Dutch that a purchase price of $24 is a good deal or not? How would your answer change if the interest rate were 6%? And 8%? (Hint: for each interest rate,calculate the present value in 1626 of the land value as of 2008. Then compare that with the purchase price in 1626. For example, simplify by assuming that the owners collect no rents on the land. As an advanced further question,assume that the rent equals 2% of the value of the land each year.)arrow_forward
