Traders from the faraway nation of Chplandia have brought infected goods to market in the capital of Pcoria. As a result, a new infectious disease called chpitis is spreading through the Pcorian population. Chpitis is not fatal, but leaves victims severely disfigured for the remainder of their lives. Throughout this problem, assume no discounting of future years. Assume that everyone in Pcoria agrees that a QALY is worth $5,000. Will a 20-year-old chpitis victim decide to get the ointment, which costs $10,000? What about a 60-year-old chpitis patient? What about a 69-year-old chpitis patient? Suppose that the Pcorian government enrolls all its citizens in the Universal Insurance Program which pays (with 10% coinsurance) for any treatment. So the ointment costs patients only $1,000 out of pocket. Will a 20-year-old chpitis victim still decide to get the ointment? What about a 60-year-old chpitis patient? What about a 69-year-old chpitis patient?

Barnes' Binoculars is considering licensing the technology to manufacture a new bifocal binocular. If Barnes decides to undertake the project, they will spend $1 million immediately to license the technology and build a prototype. If the prototype works as expected (60% probability), they will spend $5 million in Year 1 to build a manufacturing facility. This will take a year to complete. If the prototype doesn't work out (40% probability), they will abandon the project, sell the license, and receive $100,000 in Year 1 for the license. Once the manufacturing facility is built, then cash flows will be $8 million per year for 10 years starting in Year 2 if there is good market acceptance (70% probability). Cash flows will be $2 million per year for 10 years if there is poor market acceptance (30% probability). The WACC is 10%. Calculate the ENPV of the project. $14.12…
A large automobile manufacturer has developed a continuous variable transmission (CVT) that provides smooth shifting and enhances fuel efficiency by 2 mpg of gasoline. The extra cost of a CVT is $800 on the sticker price of a new car. For a particular model averaging 28 miles per gallon with the CVT, what is the cost of gasoline (dollars per gallon) that makes this option affordable when the buyer’s interest rate is 10% per year? The car will be driven 100,000 miles uniformly over an eight-year period.
