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. The one-time additive will improve your fuel mileage over 50,000 miles of driving.”
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?
If a quart of Dynolube sells for $19.95, would you use this product to your automobile?
A new six-speed automatic transmission for automobiles offers an estimated 4% improvement in fuel economy
compared to traditional four speed transmissions in front-wheel drive cars. If a four-speed transmission car averages
28 miles per gallon and gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon, how much extra can a motorist pay for a fuel-efficient six-
speed transmission? Assume that the car will be driven for 130,000 miles over its lifetime of 15 years. The motorist
can earn 7% per year on investments. Assume miles driven each year are roughly constant.

- A small company wishes to set up a fund that can be used for technology purchases over the next 6 years. Their forecast is for $16,000 to be needed at the end of year 1, decreasing by $2,000 each year thereafter. The fund earns 9% per year.

Replacing half the ferrous metals in current automobiles could reduce a vehicle’s weight by 60% and fuel consumption by 30%. One impediment to using carbon fibers in cars is cost. If the justification for the extra sticker price of carbon-fiber cars is solely based on fuel savings, how much extra sticker price can be justified over a six-year life span if the carbon-fiber car would average 39 miles per gallon of gasoline compared to a conventional car averaging 30 miles per gallon? Assume that gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon, the interest rate is 20% per year, and 117,000 miles are driven uniformly over six years.arrow_forwardA construction manager just starting in private practice needs a van to carry crew and equipment.
