Summarize “The Limits to Growth Model”

A Wimax wireless network integrated with a satellite network can provide connectivity to any location within 10 km of the base station. The number of sectors per base station can be varied to increase the bandwidth. An independent cable operator is considering three bandwidth alternatives 44(Mbps), 55(Mbps), and 88 (Mbps). Assume a life of 20 years and a MARR of 10% per year.

Bandwidth Mbps	First Cost, 1000$	Operating Cost, 1000$ per Year	Annual Income, 1000$ per Year
44	-40,000	-2000	+5000
55	-46,000	-1000	+5000
88	-61,000	-500	+8000

1) Use incremental RoR analysis(IRR) and PW to determine the financially justified one.

2) Why should you use incremental Rate of return and what is the difference between that and MARR?

8) Answer all three parts: (a) Why has inequality increased over the last 50 years and why does it continue to increase? Is there a logical end point to this or are we headed back towards a period when the world had a handful of aristocrats and their workers/peasants/servants? (b) Do you consider income and wealth inequality to be a problem in the world today? If so, what do you think can be done about it? If you don't think growing inequality is a problem, explain why. (c) Can unions play a role in reducing inequality? How?

Ryan likes to listen to music while studying at home. His brother Isaac, however, needs peace and quiet in which to work. They both get an allowance and so have some money. To deal with arguments over whether music is played or not the parents decide that on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday peace and quiet must reign, but that on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday it’s ok to play music. Note that the parents set this rule just to avoid quarrels between the two brothers; hence they do not need to stick to the rule as long as there is no quarrel. Note further that no headphones are allowed. Isaac values peace and quiet at $10 per day. Ryan values the ability to play music at $7 per day. If the boys are allowed to negotiate between themselves on which day(s) does music get played? Explain.
