You are the manager of a healthcare facility that is considering different payment options for buying supplies for your facility. The annual charges for these supplies is $10,000 and the vendor is offering you three payment options to consider.
option 1: 3% discount if you make the full payment in 30 days.
option 2: quarterly payments at the beginning of each quarter with a service charge of $100 per quarter.
option 3: monthly payments at the beginning of each month with a service charge of 3% for each monthly payment.
Q1: Which of these three options provides the best value for money? Why?
Q2: Payments for these supplies are made from your bank account which has a current balance of $30,000 and earns monthly interest of 0.2%.
a. Which of these three options now provides the best value for money?
b. At what interest rate would you be indifferent between Options 1 and 2?
c. At what interest rate would you be indifferent between Options 2 and 3?
d. Consider the ending balances under each of these three options for interest rate ranging from 0.0% to 2.0%. Develop data tables to compute the ending balances for this range of interest (consider interest increments of 0.2%). Depict your results in a line graph.

A long, cylindrical, electrical heating element of diameter D=
10 mm, thermal conductivity k= 240 W/m·K, density ρ= 2700
kg/m3, and specific heat cp= 900 J/kg·K is installed in
a duct for which air moves in cross flow over the heater at a
temperature and velocity of 27°C and 15 m/s, respectively.
(a) Neglecting radiation, estimate the steady-state surface
temperature when, per unit length of the heater, electrical energy
is being dissipated at a rate of 1500 W/m.
(b) If the heater is activated from an initial temperature of 27°C,
estimate the time required for the surface temperature to come
within 10°C of its steady-state value.
