During a power outage, a homeowner starts a generator that outputs 4,000 W of electrical power. It burns gasoline at a rate of 15 gallons per day. Gasoline has an energy content of 19,800 BTU/lb, a density of 6.07 lb/gal and a carbon content of 86% by mass. 1. What is the generators efficiency at converting gasoline energy to electrical energy? How many pound of CO2 does the generator emit per day?

Suppose the sales in the first year, R, are $100 and they grow every year at a growth rate of g = 10%. Also, suppose that the net margin is 40%. This means that earnings in the first year are going to be 0.4*100 = $40. Assuming that the discount rate, d, is 25%. What is the present value of earnings assuming that the company survives for 10 years?

Company, a pharmaceutical manufacturing unit, cannot afford to have any power outage as this would lead to loss of time and production shortages. While preparing their annual budget they have allocated 8000 OMR for the purchase of a high power diesel generator set. Owning the generator would demand proper maintenance of the generator also, which would cost the company 250 OMR in the first year. Subsequently the maintenance charges will increase at the rate of 10% every year due to...
