A small minority firm TheGlobalTrans invested $100,000 for an intersection signal innovation project. At an interest rate of 15% per year, compounded bimonthly, what is the bimonthly income required to recover the investment in 2 years.
How much will Kingston Technologies have to pay each year in eight equal payments, starting 2 years from now, to repay a $900,000 loan? The interest rate is 8% per year
Automobiles of the future will most likely be manufactured largely with carbon fibers made from recycled plastics, wood pulp, and cellulose. Replacing half the ferrous metals in current automobiles could reduce a vehicle’s weight by 60% and fuel consumption by 30%. One impediment to using carbon fibers in cars is cost. If the justification for the extra sticker price of carbon-fiber cars is solely based on fuel savings, how much extra sticker price can be justified over a six-year life span if the carbon-fiber car would average 39 miles per gallon of gasoline compared to a conventional car averaging 30 miles per gallon? Assume that gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon, the interest rate is 20% per year, and 117,000 miles are driven uniformly over six years.

  • Heat loss through the walls of a heating system means an annual cost of $800,000. An insulation system that would reduce this loss by 33% could be installed for $500,000 and another that would reduce this loss by 20% could be installed for $300,000. Determine if any isolation systems should be used. Assume that the system will be used for 8 years, and that the Attractive minimum rate of return is 5% per year.
    Yvonne’s father was a true believer in “giving back.” He endowed a program 35 years ago to help students receive degrees when they are short on funds.

The amount she must contribute if earnings remain at 10% per year is $X
    An entrepreneurial electrical engineer approached a large water utility with a proposal that promises to reduce the utility’s power bill by at least 15% through installation of patented surge protectors. The proposal states that the engineer will not be paid for the first year, but beginning in year 2, she will receive three equal, annual payments that are equivalent to 60% of the power bill savings achieved in year 1 due to the protectors. Assuming that the utility’s power bill of $1 million per year is reduced by 15% after installation of the surge protectors, what is (a) the present worth in year 0 of the uniform payments to the engineer, and (b) their future worth in year 4? Use an interest rate of 10% per year.
