Sam is considering purchase of a vending machine to sell sodas. The cost of the vending machine is $3,400. Sam estimates that the vending machine will last for five years and will provide net income of $800 each year for its lifetime.
a. If Sam pays $3,400 for the vending machine today, what is its net present value at 7%? Should Sam purchase the vending machine?
b. If Sam pays $3,400 for the vending machine today, what is its net present value at 5%? Should Sam purchase the vending machine?
c. Suppose the seller of the vending machine allows Sam to defer, without penalty or interest, payment for the vending machine until the end of the first year. What is its net present value at 7%? Should Sam purchase the vending machine?

Suppose that for ABC Company we have the following functions:

    Inverse Demand Function:   P = 360 - 0.8Q

    Cost Function: 120 + 200Q

    Marginal Revenue Function (MR) = 360 – 1.6Q

    Marginal Cost (MC) = 200

Determine quantity (Q) and price (P) that maximizes profit for ABC Company. Show your calculations.

production fuction is: y(K,L)=12√ KL
K=capital
L=labor

a)find the equation for the MPL and MPK as a fuction of K and L.

b) . Suppose the number of stoves is fixed in the short run, while the amount of labor used is variable. Fill in the table below:
Output K L MPL MPK
  12 1
12 4
12 9
12 16

Now suppose is in the long run, where both capital and labor are variable factors of production.
i. Does this production function exhibit increasing, decreasing, or constant returns
to scale? How do you know?
ii. Draw 2 graphs the isoquants associated with this production function to illustrate your answer
