Chapter 4, Problem 20RP
Explanation of Solution
- Suppose that,
- ct = Net number of drivers hired at the beginning of the year t.
- ht = Number of drivers hired at the beginning of the year t.
- ft = Number of driver fired at the beginning of the year t.
- dt = Number of drivers have been hired or fired at the beginning of the year t.
- z = Cost of the company
- Now, the cost of the company due to salary, hiring and firing at the beginning of the first year
- d1 = 50+h1-f1
- at the beginning of the second year, there were d1 drivers.
- Therefore, number of drivers after hiring or firing at the beginning of second year
- d2 = d1+h2-f2
- Similarly,
- d3 = d2+h3-f3
- d4 = d3+h4-f4
- d5 = d4+h5-f5
- Also, the number of the ...

An oil and gas exploration firm invested
$2,000,000 in drilling for natural gas in a new
gas field. The firm's geologist believes the
field has the potential to produce gas for
many years. The revenue resulting from the
gas well the first year after drilling is
$600,000; based on previous experiences
with similar types of wells, it is expected the
annual revenue will decrease at an annual
rate of 3%. Likewise, the costs of operating
the well the first year totals $100,000; costs
are expected to increase at an annual rate of
7%. If the firm's MARR is 17%, how long will it
take for the firm to recover its investment?
