- Question ENGINEERING ECONOMICS You want to launch a printing services business on campus. The initial cost to get the business running with a September 1st launch date would be $2,000. You estimate that the revenues would approximately offset your costs (e.g. paper, toner, etc.) in the first month of operation so that the monthly profit would be $0. Afterwards, you estimate that profits would increase by $80 each month until the end of the academic year (i.e. $80 profit in October, $160 profit in November, etc. until the end of April). Your annual MARR is 10%, compounded monthly. (a) Calculate the internal rate of return for your investment based on an 8 months study period. Select the appropriate IRR between options 1 to 4 below. (b) Suppose that you now consider another investment opportunity for your printing business services, also with monthly profits, and the internal rate of return of 3%.

Refer to the introductory story in chapter 1 (see page 43) for additional background. (The components of the Caesars serial case can be completed in any order.) Caesars Palace® Las Vegas made headlines when it undertook a $75 million renovation. In mid-September 2015, the hotel closed its then-named Roman Tower, which was last updated in 2001, and started a major renovation of the 567 rooms housed in that tower . On January 1, 2016, the newly renamed Julius Tower reopened, replacing the Roman Tower. In addition to renovating the existing rooms and suites in the former Roman Tower, 20 guest rooms were added to the Roman Tower.

To offset this increase in costs, they are considering a 20% increase in the sales price. Market research indicates that the price increase will result in a 2% decrease in the number of learning systems Sandhill sells. What will be Sandhill’s expected operating income if the price increase is implemented? (Round per unit calculations to 2 decimal places e.g. 52.75 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

Each advisor works for 10 hours a day during theregistration period. SMU currently has 10 advisors. While advising an individual student can take anywhere from 2 to 30minutes, it takes an average of 12 minutes per student. During the registration period, the 10 advisors see an average of300 students a day on a rst-come, rstserved basis. 1. Using the formula on page 747, calculate how long the average student will have to wait in the advisor’s office beforebeing advised. 2. The head of the registration advisors would like to increase the number of students seen each day because at 300students a day it would take 14 working days to see all of the students. This is a problem because the registration periodlasts for only 2 weeks (10 working days). If the advisors could advise 420 students a day, it would…arrow_forward
