A local company is offering insulation that can reduce the heat loss by 80%, with an installation cost of $170,000 now. They estimates that the heat loss through the exterior walls of her warehouse will cost approximately $40,000 per year. She intends to keep the warehouse for 10 years. If the cost of the heat loss increases by $3,000 per year, after next year, what is the IRR?

To reduce reliance on their local water company, the city of St. Augustine has decided to build their own municipal water supply. They must now decide what price to charge consumers. After some careful research, you estimate the following demand curve and marginal revenue curve for water per month: P = 76 – 3Q MR = 76 – 6Q where Q represents the quantity of water used per month in 1,000 gallons. The marginal costs of water purification and delivery...

An insulated steel pipe carries hot water at 80 ºC. The outer surface of the insulation loses heat to the environment by convection and radiation. For convection, assume hconv = 5.8 W/m2.ºC. The emissivity of the insulation is 0.88 and conductivity, k = 0.038 W/mK. The surroundings are at 30 ºC. Assume the inner surface of the insulation is at the water temperature. What is the surface temperature of the insulation?
