Required information A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an above ground electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $17,400 to install and will have a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, and other maintenance issues are expected to be $2,600. A new power line will cost $34,000 to install, with power costs expected to be $1,000 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 5 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. t an interest rate of 10% per year and using an AW analysis, which alternative should be selected? he annual worth of installing solar cells is $- 7915, and the annual worth of installing a new power line is $-9545

Student question Time Left : 00:09:50 The Apex Company sold a water softener to Marty Smith. The price of the unit was $350. Marty asked for a deferred payment plan, and a contract was written. Under the contract, the buyer could delay paying for the water softener if he purchased the coarse salt for recharging the softener from Apex. At the end of 2 years, the buyer was to pay for the unit in a lump sum, with interest at a quarterly rate of 1.5%. According to the contract, if the customer ceased buying salt from Apex at any time prior to 2 years, the full payment due at the end of 2 years would automatically become due. Six months later, Marty decided to buy salt elsewhere and stopped buying from Apex, whereupon Apex asked for the full payment that was to have been due 18 months hence. Marty was unhappy about this, so Apex offered as an alternative to accept the $350 with interest at 10% per semiannual period for the 6 months. Which alternative should Marty accept?…

You own a family farm, worth $500,000, and need to decide what to do with this year’s earnings of $400,000. (i) You could put the money in the bank and earn a safe 5% return. (ii) Or you could pay $200,000 to plant a new crop, which will yield a harvest in six months; if there is rain, the harvest will bring in $1.000,000 in revenues, but if there is a drought it will yield just $100,000 in revenues. (iii) A third alternative is to plant Santo drought-resistant seed corn, which will cost $500,000, but yield revenues of $1,000,000 if there is rain or $700,000 if there is no rain. You are risk averse, and your reference for family wealth (W) is given by U(W) = √W [Square root of W]. The probability of a summer drought is 0.33. Which of the three options should you choose? Explain.
