A producer of synthetic motor oil for automobiles and light trucks has made the following statement: “One quart of Dynolube added to your next oil change will increase fuel mileage by one percent. This one-time additive will improve your fuel mileage over 50,000 miles of driving.” Solve, a. Assume the company’s claim is correct. How much money will be saved by adding one quart of Dynolube if gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon and your car averages 20 miles per gallon without the Dynolube? b. If a quart of Dynolube sells for $19.95, would you use this product in your automobile?
Automobile repair shops typically recom- mend that their customers change their oil and oil filter every 4,000 miles. Your automobile user's manual suggests changing your oil every 6,500–8,500 miles. If drive you your car 52,000 miles each year and an oil and filter change costs $31, how much money would you save each year if you had this service performed every 6,500 miles?
If you rent a car, you can (1) return it with a full gas tank, (2) return it without filling it and pay $5.75/gallon, or (3) accept a fixed

- You must fly to another city for a Friday meeting. If you stay until Sunday morning your ticket will be $250, rather than $800. Hotel costs are $200 per night. Compare the economics with reasonable assumptions for meal expenses. What intangible consequences may dominate the decision?arrow_forwardShin likes to spend a (relatively small) portion of his income on vacations to Cabo San Lucas (a popular resort area in Mexico). On these trips, he either stays at a four-star resort with panoramic ocean views or a more modest, and slightly deteriorating hotel in the noisy part of town. Understandably, the four-star hotel is significantly more expensive. Suppose that the four-star hotel costs $5000/trip while the hotel costs just $500/trip. In recent years, the price of airfare has risen significantly, a change that affects the cost of his trips the same regardless of where he stays. Suppose that airfare has increased from $300/trip to $1000/trip. Why is it that following the higher travel prices, Shin is likely to spend more of his vacations at the four-star resort when he travels?
