3. Consider an EOY geometric gradient, which lasts for eight years, whose initial value at EOY one is $5,000 and f= 6% per year thereafter. Find the equivalent uniform gradient amount over the same period if the initial value of the cash flows at the end of year one is $4,000. Complete the following questions to determine the value of the gradient amount, G. The interest rate is 8% per year.

2. A whisky distiller named Taketsuru Masataka puts 8000L of whisky into barrels for aging, with 200L of whisky per barrel. Each year the volume of whisky in each barrel reduces by 2% due to evaporation (this is known as the angels' share). For the first 11 years after barreling, Taketsuru sells 2 barrels for 20 dollars per litre at the end of each year. Write bn for for the volume of whisky in each barrel at the beginning of year n, write Un for the total volume of whisky in storage at the beginning of year n, and rn for the total revenue from selling whisky at the beginning of year n. (a) Find a direct formula for bn. (b) Calculate the values of v₁, v2, V3 and then find a recursive definition for Un. (c) Find a recursive definition for rn. (d) Write a MATLAB program to compute Un and rn for n = 1, 2 ... 12 and display the values in three columns n, rn, Un with appropriate headings. (e) At the end of the 12th year Taketsuru finds that he can sell 12-year old whisky at the higher price…
You are an investor who receives daily price quotes for a stock. The span of a stock's price on a given day is the number of consecutive days, from the given day going backwards, on which its price was less than or equal to its price on the day we are considering. Thus, the Stock Span Problem is as follows: Given a series of daily price quotes for a stock, find the span of the stock on each day of the series. Assume you are given seven daily stock quotes: 3, 10, 4, 7, 9, 6, and 8. Assume further that these stock quotes are stored in the array quotes. Show a step-by-step, manual desk-check execution of the algorithm below showing the values of all variables and arrays for each step in each cycle of each loop, as demonstrated in clase Algorithm: A Simple Stock Span Algorithm SimpleStockSpan (quotes) spans Input: quotes, an array with n stock price quotes Output: spans, an array with n stock price spans 1 spans CreateArray (n) 2 for i-0 to n do k+1 span_endFALSE while i-k 20 and not…

Let = 1.8-1 + 30 be a linear DDS. a) Suppose the initial value is = 59. Find the explicit solution. In b) Calculate the equilibrium value for this DDS. Round to 2 decimal places as needed. Ie c) Determine the stability of the equilibrium. Choose the correct answer. The equilibrium of this system is Select an answer because the slope is negative. the slope in absolute value is greater than 1. the slope is positive. the slope in absolute value is less than 1.
A company produces two products on two machines. A unit of product 1 requires 2 hours on machine 1 and 1 hour on machine 2. For product 2, a unit requires 1 hour on machine 1 and 2 hours on machine 2. The revenues per unit of products 1 and 2 are $2 and $3, respectively. The total daily processing time available for machine 1 and 2 are 4 and 5 hours respectively. Letting and represent the daily number of units of products 1 and 2 respectively, (i)Construct the LP model to maximize profit. Obtain the optimum solution graphically by determining the number of units of each product to be produced in order to maximize the profit and at what value. If management decides to increase the daily capacity of machine 1 from 4 hours to 5 hours, locate the new optimum point. Compute and comment on the dual price and the feasibility range for machine 1.…
Suppose that the total cost (in dollars) for a product is given by C(x) = 1200 + 200 In(2x + 1) where x is the number of units produced. (a) Find the marginal cost MC function. MC = (b) Find the marginal cost when 200 units are produced. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) Interpret your result. O The profit from the next unit will be approximately this amount. This is the total profit from producing 200 units. It will cost approximately this amount to make the next unit. O This is the total cost of producing 200 units. (c) Total cost functions always increase because producing more items costs more. What then must be true of the marginal cost function?

XYZ Company manufactures pressure relief inserts for thermal relief and low-flow hydraulic pressure relief applications where zero leakage is required. A machine purchased 3 years ago has been book-depreciated by the straight line method using a 5-year useful life. If the book value at the end of year 3 is $30,000 and the company assumed that the machine would be worthless at the end of its 5-year useful life. What is the book depreciation charge each year.
A Company supplies a range of cosmetics products and gives discounts on orders as follows: For order worth less than kshs 1000 a discount of 2% is given. For orders worth kshs 1000 and above a discount of 5% is given. These discount are only given if the customer's account is less than four weeks in arrears. If the account is more than eight weeks in arrears a pro- forma invoice must be sent and settled before dispatch. Required: Convert the mixed entry decision table to pseudocodes.

The public utilities commission has decided that the electric company overcharged its customers for two months last year. To make up the difference to the customers, the commission orders the company to decrease each of the next month’s bills by 10%. The city also levies a 3%utility tax, which is to be applied to the bill before it is discounted. Also, the10% discount does not apply to the utility tax. Assume electricity costs $0.16per kilowatt-hour. Write a program to compute the next month’s electricity bill given the number of kilowatt-hours consumed as input
You wish to drive from point A to point B along a highway minimizing the time that you are stopped for gas. You are told beforehand the capacity C of you gas tank in liters, your rate F of fuel consumption in liters/kilometer, the rate r in liters/minute at which you can fill your tank at a gas station, and the locations A = x1, ··· , B = xn of the gas stations along the highway. So if you stop to fill your tank from 2 liters to 8 liters, you would have to stop for 6/r minutes. Consider the following two algorithms: (a) Stop at every gas station, and fill the tank with just enough gas to make it to the next gas station. (b) Stop if and only if you don’t have enough gas to make it to the next gas station, and if you stop,fill the tank up all the way. For each algorithm either prove or disprove that this algorithm correctly solves the problem. Your proof of correctness must use an exchange argument.
