An engineering professor acquires a new computer once every two years. The professor can choose from three models: M1, M2, and M3. If the present model is M1, the next computer can be M2 with probability 0.25 or M3 with probability 0.1. If the present model is M2, the probabilities of switching to M1 and M3 are 0.5 and 0.15, respectively. And, if the present model is M3, then the probabilities of purchasing M1 and M2 are 0.7 and 0.2, respectively. Represent the situation as a Markov chain and express the probabilistic activities in the form of transition matrix. Analyzing the problem in (c), Write the steady-state equations

14. A freshman college student, who owns a car, plans to buy a motorcycle. The student expects to save an increasing amount of money on travel every year he is in college, as he will make less use of his car each year. How much money should he plan to save and put in the bank from his job this summer, in order to pay his travel costs for his remaining 3 years of college? Assume that the bank pays 8% per year, compounded annually, and that his travel costs will be $900 the first year, $700 the second year, and $500 the third year.
