The El Dorado Star is the only newspaper in El Dorado, New Mexico. Certainly, the Star competes with The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and the New York Times for national news reporting, but the Star offers readers stories of local interest, such as local news, weather, high-school sporting events, and so on. The El Dorado Star faces the revenue and cost schedules shown in the spreadsheet that follows: A template for the spreadsheet is provided in the Course Materials. You may download my template or create your own. Since we are using dollars and cents, be sure to go out two decimal places on your calculations. Add columns to show, respectively, marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), and total profit. Create a new spreadsheet in which total fixed cost increases to $5,000. What price should the manager charge? How many papers should be sold in the short run?

a. Based on PW method, Design Z is more economical. b. The modified B/C ratio of Design Y is The modified B/C ration of Design Z is (Round to two decimal places) (Round to two decimal places) c. The incremental B/C ratio is (Round to two decimal places) Therefore, based on the B/C ratio method, Design Z is more economical d. The discounted payback period of Design Y is The discounted payback period of Design Z is years (Round to one decimal place) years (Round to one decimal place) Investment cost Annual revenue Annual cost Useful life Salvage value Net PW Therefore, based on the payback period method, Design y would be preferred. (e) Why could the recommendations based on the payback period method be different from the other two methods? ⒸA. because the payback period method ignores the cash flows after the payback period O B. because the payback period gives more weight to the cash flows after the payback period C Design Y Design Z $140,000 $275,000 $57,659 $96.354 $17.618 $31,687 15…

Four mutually exclusive projects are being considered for a new 2-mile jogging track. The life of the track is expected to be 85 years, and the sponsoring agency's MARR is 9% per year. Annual benefits to the public have been estimated by an advisory committee and are shown below. Use the B-C method (incrementally) to select the best jogging track. Initial cost Annual benefits B-C ratio The best jogging track is alternative A $52,000 $7,500 1.60 Perform the incremental B-C Analysis. Fill-in the table below. (Round to two decimal places.)

The National Environmental Protection Agency has established that 2.5% of the median household income is a reasonable amount to pay for safe drinking water. For a median household income of $45,000 per year, what would the health benefits have to be (in dollars per household per year) for the B/C ratio to be equal to 1.5?

The city of Valley View, California, is considering various proposals regarding the disposal of used tires. All proposals involve shredding, but the benefits differ in each plan. An incremental B/C analysis was initiated, but the engineer conducting the study left recently. Using a 20 year study period and an interest rate of 8% per year, a.

The B/C ratio for a flood control project along the Swanee River was calculated to be 1.1. If the benefits were $610,000 per year and the maintenance costs were $221,000 per year, determine the initial cost of the project at an interest rate of 11% per year and a 50- year life. The initial cost of the project is $
