Solve this question with Equipment Replacement Method

Transcribed Image Text:12-25. Circle Farms wants to develop a replacement policy for its 2-year-old tractor over the
next 5 years. A tractor must be kept in service for at least 3 years, but must be disposed
of after 5 years. The current purchase price of a tractor is $40,000 and increases by 10%
a year. The salvage value of a l-year-old tractor is $30,000 and decreases by 10% a year.
The current annual operating cost of the tractor is $1300 but is expected to increase by
10% a year.
(a) Formulate the problem as a shortest-route problem.
(b) Develop the associated recursive equation.
(c) Determine the optimal replacement policy of the tractor over the next 5 years.

Because of the constantly evolving political climate around the United States, Gallup (who regularly conducts polls in the U.S.) conducted a poll just after the inauguration asking U.S. adults if they approve of the initiatives President Biden had implemented in his first few days in office. Another Gallup poll was conducted now that President Biden has been in office for a month asking U.S. adults if they approve of the initiatives President Biden had implemented after his first month in office. According to the first Gallup poll of 1500 randomly selected U.S. adults, 64% approved of the initiatives President Biden had implemented in his first few days in office. And according to the second Gallop poll of 1700 U.S. adults, 54% approved of the initiatives President Biden had implemented after his first month in office.

- 4. Height is sometimes used to determine medicinal or nutritional needs. When a patient is bedridden, it can be difficult to determine height accurately. To deal with this issue, formulas have been developed that are based on a measurement that can be easily obtained on a prone patient Height in cm (females) 84.88 (0.24 x age) (1.83 x knee height) Height in cm (males) 64.19-(0.04 × age) + (2.02 × knee height) To find a patient's knee height, the knee and ankle of the patient are held at a 90° angle and the length from the heel to the knee is measured in centimeters. Age is in years. Based on: www.rxkinetics.com a. Find the height of an 80-year-old female patient whose knee height is 16 inches. Give the final result in inches. b.
