Answer to Problem 55P

$11,292

Given information:

Maintenance cost for 1st year (A1) = $75

Cost will increase by $150 each year, so G=$25

Time (n) = 10 years

Interest rate (i) = 6%.

Concept used:

Arithmetic gradient present worth is given by,

(P/G,i,n)={[(1+i)nin1]/[i2(1+i)n]}

To find the Present Worth, at EOY 0, of a gradient series that begins EOY 1, use

P = A1 (P/A,i%,n) + G (P/G,i%,n)

To find the annual equivalent (A series) of a gradient series that begins EOY 1, use

A = A1 + G (A/G,i%,n).

Calculation:

In order to find out the present worth of the cash maintenance cash flow we use the given formula,

To find the Present Worth, at EOY 0, of a gradient series that begins EOY 1, use

P = A1 (P/A,i%,n) + G (P/G,i%,n)

Arithmetic gradient present worth is given by,

(P/G,i,n)={[(1+i)nin1]/[i2(1+i)n]}

The upper cash flow is equivalent to a uniform series of A = 75 for 10 years, an arithmetic series of G = 25 for 10 years, a single cash flow of $10,000 in the year 0, so the present worth of the above cash flow is

P= $75(P/A,6%,10) + $25(P/G,6%,10)

=$75(7.36) + $25(29.60)

=$552 + $740

=$1,292

Total present worth = $10,000+$1,292

=$11,292.

Conclusion:

Thus, the smog control district pays to the firm $11,292 now to provide for the first cost of the equipment and its maintenance for 10 years.

Before the Civil War, the South traded with the North and with England. The South sold cotton and bought manufactured goods and food. During the war, one of President Lincoln's first actions was a blockade of the ports in the South to prevent this trade. The South had to increase its production of munitions and food. Draw a point to show the South's production point prior to the Civil War. Label it 1. Draw a point to show the South's consumption point prior to the Civil War. Label it 2. During the war, the South's factors of production were severely depleted and its production possibilities decreased. Draw a curve that shows the effects of the Civil War on the South's PPF. Label it PPF₁. Draw a point to show the South's production point during the Civil War. Label it 3. During the war, the South did not engage in trade.

Suppose that a paper mill "feeds" a downstream box mill. For the downstream mill, the marginal profitability of producing boxes declines with volume. For example, the first unit of boxes increases earnings by $10, the second by $9, the third by $8, and so on, until the tenth unit increases profit by just $1. The cost the upstream mill incurs for producing enough paper (one "unit" of paper) to make one unit of boxes is $3.50. Assume the two mills operate as separate profit centers, and the paper mill sets the price of paper. It follows that the marginal profitability of boxes represents the highest price that the box division would be willing to pay the paper division for boxes.. Furthermore, assume that fixed costs are $0 for the paper mill. The following table summarizes the quantity, total revenue, and marginal costs from the perspective of the paper mill for selling paper to the box mill at various prices. In the following table, fill in the marginal revenue, total cost, and total…
