6. In each situation described below, compare the magnitudes of the two forces. Explain your answer in each case.

a. A 90-kg an and a 60-kg boy each have one hand extended out in front and are pushing on each other. Neither is moving. Compare the force exerted by the man’s hand on the boy’s hand to that exerted by the boy’s hand on the man’s.

b. In (a), the boy begins to slide along the floor. Now compare the same two forces between their hands.

c. A person is leaning against a wall with her hand straight out pushing against the wall. Compare the force exerted by her hand on the wall to that exerted by the wall on her hand. What is the type of force exerted by the wall on her hand called?

d. In (c), is the force exerted by the wall on the person’s hand passive or active explain?

e. In (c) compare the horizontal component of the force exerted by the person’s feet on the floor to the horizontal component of the force exerted by the floor on her feet. What is the type of force exerted by the floor on her feet called?

f. Is the force describe in (e) that the person exerts on the floor passive or active? Explain.

A machine shop owner is attempting to decide whether to purchase a new drill press, a lathe, or a grinder. The profit or loss from each purchase are shown in the following table where one of two states of nature could occur (the company succeeds in getting a military contract, or it does not get a contract).

Contract status

Purchase             Get Contract      No contract

Drill press            30,000                       -10,000

Lathe                     25,000                        4,000

Grinder                 12,000                     10,000

1. What is the expected monetary value of each purchase option when the probability of getting contract is .4 and which is the best option under this probability?

2. Since .4 may be incorrect as the probability of getting a military contract, over what range of values for the probability of getting a contract would each purchase option be the most favored? Show your work!

Sams Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine for $390,000 is estimated to result in $135,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class, and it will have a pretax salvage value at the end of the project of $198,000. The MACRS rates are .2, .32, .192, .1152, .1152, and .0576 for Years 1 to 6, respectively. Ignore bonus depreciation. The press also requires an initial investment in inventory of $8,000, along with an additional $1,500 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The inventory will return to its original level when the project ends. The shop's tax rate is 21 percent and its discount rate is 16 percent. Should the firm buy and install the machine? Why or why not?

On May 1, 2017, Hobart Mfg. Co. purchased a drill press at a cost of $36,000. The drill press is expected to last 10 years and have a residual value of $6,000.
