The table below gives a detailed forecast of the size of the market by production volume. Assume that KXS expects to capture
10.20%
of the market share in 2018 and expects that percentage will increase by
0.24%
per year. KXS currently has the capacity to produce a maximum of
1100
thousand units. What production capacity will KXS require each year? When will an expansion become necessary (that is, when will production volume exceed
1100
thousand units)?

Nippon Steel’s expenses for heating and cooling a large manufacturing facility are expected to increase according to an arithmetic gradient beginning in year 2. If the cost is $550,000 this year (year 0) and will be $550,000 again in year 1, but then are estimated to increase by $40,000 each year through year 12, what is the equivalent annual worth in years 1 to 12 of these energy costs at an interest rate of 10% per year?
The demand for a product during the next ten years will be such that revenues will be $100,000 the first year and will increase by $10,000 each year thereafter. If inflation is assumed to be 6% per yuear and the company uses 10% in its economic studies, what is the present worth of the revenues expressed in present dollars?
