CDO City started a Solid Waste Management initiative in partnership with Tetra Pak Philippines and BXTRA Philippines. This
project enables Kagayanons to earn cash/environmental points with every 15 pieces 1 liter UBC of any brand. Profits from
recycling Used Beverage Containers (UBCS) have increased at a constant rate of Php 1100 in each of the last 3 years. If this
year's profit (end of year 1) is expected to be Php 6000 and the profit trend continues through year 5, what will the profit be at
the end of year 5?

The price of a car you want is $42,000 today. Its
price is expected to increase by $1000 each year.
You now have $25,000 in an investment account,
which is earning 10% per year. How many years
will it be before you have enough to buy the car
without borrowing any money? Solve by (a) trial
and error, and (b) by spreadsheet.
The Sundance Detective Agency has purchased new surveillance equipment with the following estimates. The year index is
k= 1, 2, 3, ...
First cost = $1200
Annual maintenance cost = $75 + 5k
Extra annual revenue = $250 + 50k
Salvage value = $750 for all years
Calculate the payback period to make a return of 10% per year.
The payback period to make a return of 10% per year is
years.

A computational method developed at Carnegie Mellon maps in 3-D the microstructure of aircraft materials in their present state so that engineers can test them under different conditions of moisture, salt, dirt, etc. Military officials can then determine if an aircraft is fine, is in need of overhaul, or should be retired. If the 3-D system allows the Navy to use one airplane 2 years longer than it normally would have been used, thereby delaying the purchase of a $20 million aircraft for 2 years, what is the present worth of the assessment system at an interest rate of 8% per year?arrow_forwardDemco Products, a company that manufactures stainless steel control valves, has a fund for equipment replacement that contains $500,000.

- During recessionary periods, bonds that were issued many years ago have a higher coupon rate than currently issued bonds. Therefore, they may sell at a premium, a price higher than their face value, because of currently low coupon rates. A $50,000 bond that was issued 15 years ago is for sale for $60,000. What rate of return per year will a purchaser make if the bond coupon rate is 14% per year, payable annually, and the bond is due 5 years from now?
