Your answer is partially correct.
An independent contractor for a transportation company needs to determine whether she should upgrade the vehicle she currently
owns or trade her vehicle in to lease a new vehicle. If she keeps her vehicle, she will need to invest in immediate upgrades that cost
$5,200 and it will cost $1,300 per year to operate at the end of year that follows. She will keep the vehicle for 5 years; at the end of this
period, the upgraded vehicle will have a salvage value of $3,800. Alternatively, she could trade in her vehicle to lease a new vehicle. She
estimates that her current vehicle has a trade-in value of $9,800 and that there will be $4,100 due at lease signing. She further
estimates that it will cost $2,900 per year to lease and operate the vehicle. The independent contractor's MARR is 11%. Compute the
EUAC of both the upgrade and lease alternatives using the insider perspective.

Barbara Flynn sells papers at a newspaper stand for $0.40. The papers cost her $0.30, giving her a $0.10 profit on each one she sells. From past experience Barbara
knows that:
a) 20% of the time she sells 150 papers.
b) 20% of the time she sells 200 papers.
c) 30% of the time she sells 250 papers.
d) 30% of the time she sells 300 papers.
Assuming that Barbara believes the cost of a lost sale to be $0.05 and any unsold papers cost her $0.30 and she orders 250 papers.
Use the following random numbers: 14, 4, 13, 9, and 25 for simulating Barbara's profit. (Note: Assume the random number interval begins at 01 and ends at 00.)
Based on the given probability distribution and the order size, for the given random number Barbara's sales and profit are (enter your responses for sales as integers
and round all profit responses to two decimal places):

A borrower bought a house for $250,000; he can obtain an 80% loan with a 30-year fully amortizing, 6% interest rate and
monthly payment. Assuming the marginal tax rate for the borrower is 25%. Maintain and insurance are currently $1,200 each
per year, Selling cost is 6% of sale; property tax is 2% of the value each year, property value increases 5% per year.
