Eastside Farms is considering the purchase of a mechanical harvester. It costs $180,000 and is expected to last for five years. They presently hire 10 workers at $3,000 per month for each of the six harvesting months each year. The equipment would eliminate the need for 3 workers. Eastside projects a salvage value of $23,000. Ignoring the tax implications and assuming the opportunity cost of funds is 8.0%, what is the Net Present Value (NPV) of this proposed investment?

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH) can be produced from sugars and starches in crops such as corn or sugarcane. Ethanol is used as a gasoline additive and when completely burned, it combines with oxygen to form CO2 and H2O. Write the balanced equation for the complete combustion reaction and calculate the net energy change per mole of ethanol. Bond Energy C – H → 416 kJ/mol O – H → 467 kJ/mol C – C → 356 kJ/mol C – O → 336...
