please send handwritten solution for Q 1 part b
Question 1:
a) A function is given by f(x) = 5x³ – 6x2 + x – e*.
Find the slope of the tangent line to this curve at x= 2.
b) Find the area under the curve given by g(x) = x' + 4x between x = 6 and x=9.
c) The fixed costs of a business for production of a particular item over a period are $1000 while the
production cost per unit is $90. If the business is able to produce and sell 200 items over the period,
what should the sales price of the item be in order for the business to break even?
d) A company is offered a contract promising annual net returns of $22,000 for six years. If the company
accepts the contract, it must immediately spend S 70,000 to set up its plant for production. After the
six years this set-up would have no residual value. Should the contract be accepted if the required rate
of return is 10%?
e) In a net present value (NPV) analysis it is found that proceeding with a contract with required rate of
return of 8% gives an NPV of $20,000 while if the required rate of return is 10% then the NPV is
-$5,000. Use linear interpolation to estimate the internal rate of return (IRR) for this contract.
