Interest is compounded monthly. If a payment is missed by even 1 day, the rate jumps to an APR of 24.5% for the remainder of the time she keeps the card or until the total debt is paid off. (This is not an uncommon practice for many banks that issue credit cards when you read the fine print.) The current balance is $2000 and there is a minimum payment of $20.83 per month at the 12.5% rate. Beth decided “enough already”; she decided to stop using the card immediately and pay the balance off as soon as her budget allowed. She realizes that if she misses a payment due date, the minimum will increase to $40.83 per month until the total balance is paid at this higher APR. a. Verify the monthly minimums for both nominal (APR) rates for a balance of $2000. b.

- The heat loss through the exterior walls of a certain manufacturing plant is estimated to cost $29000 at EOY 1. ABC Insulation, Inc., told the owner of the plant that the heat loss can be reduced by 80% if he is willing to spend $401,000 to install its innovative insulation material. The cost of heat loss is expected to rise by $2100 per year (uniform gradient) after the next year. The owner plans to keep the present building for 15 more years. Assume MARR (minimum acceptable rate of return) is 4% per year. (a) What is the present equivalent value of the cost savings in the reduction of heat loss for these 15 years?

- An environmentally friendly green home (99% air tight) costs about 8% more to construct than a conventional home. Most green homes can save 15% per year on energy expenses to heat and cool the dwelling.
