A new furnace for your small factory will cost $29,000 and a year to install, will require ongoing maintenance expenditures of $

1,200 a year. But it is far more fuel-efficient than your old furnace and will reduce your consumption of heating oil by 2,800 gallons per year. Heating oil this year will cost $2 a gallon; the price per gallon is expected to increase by $0.50 a year for the next 3 years and then to stabilize for the foreseeable future. The furnace will last for 20 years, at which point it will need to be replaced and will have no salvage value. The discount rate is 6%.

Answer:

Net present value is $61,058.

Step-by-step explanation:

Net present value is the difference between present value of cash inflows and the present value cash outflows over the period of time. NPV method is used in capital budgeting to analyze profitability of the project.

Less: initial cost is $29,000

Add: Year 1: Cost saving due to new furnace is $5,600 (2,800 oil gallons * $ 2 per gallon)

Year 2: Cost saving due to new furnace is $7,000 (2,800 oil gallons * $ 2.50 per gallon)

Year 3- 20: Cost saving due to new furnace is $8,400 (2,800 oil gallons * $ 3 per gallon)

Less : Maintenance expenditure is $1,200

The furnace will benefit for 20 years and the price per gallon will increase by $0.50 year.

The annuity factor is applied at discount factor of 6% and then present value of each cash inflow and outflow is calculated. The net present value is $61,058.

If a=2, b= -1, c= -3 and d= -2 find :<br> 1/2bc-6ac+2ab<br> 1/4(ac)² +1/6ac
Arisa [49]

Answer:

34

8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1/2bc - 6ac + 2ab</u>

(1/2)(-1)(-3) - (6)(2)(-3) + (2)(2)(-1)

(1/2)(4) - (-36) + (-4)

2 + 36 - 4

34

<u>1/4(ac)² + 1/6ac</u>

(1/4)[(2)(-3)]² + (1/6)(2)(-3)

(1/4)(-6)² + (1/6)(-6)

(1/4)(36) + (-1)

I need help with this (Image Attached)
NemiM [27]

Answer:

55,98,27

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the angles we must first find y with this equation

3y+5+2y-7=153

We can simplify this

5y-2=153

153+2=155

155/5=31

y=31

We now know y and can plug it into the angles

<A=2y-7

2(31)-7

62-7

55

<A=55

<B=3y+5

3(31)+5

93+5

98

<B=98

Now time for the last angle

Since angle BCA and DCB are next to each other they add up to 180

153+x=180

180-153=27

x=27

<BCA=27

A student repeatedly measures the mass of an object using a mechanical balance and gets the following values: 560 g, 562 g, 556
MrRissso [65]

Answer: 2.76 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the standard deviation:-

\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x_i-\overline{x})^2}{n}}

The given data values : 560 g, 562 g, 556 g, 558 g, 560 g, 556 g, 559 g, 561 g, 565 g, 563 g.

Then,  \overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^{10} x_i}{n}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{560+562+556+558+560+556+559+561+565+563}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{5600}{10}=560

Now, \sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=0^2+2^2+(-4)^2+(-2)^2+0^2+(-4)^2+(-1)^2+1^2+5^2+3^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ \sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=76

Then, \sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{76}{10}}=\sqrt{7.6}=2.76

Hence, the  standard deviation of his measurements = 2.76 g
