2. Patient BN is a 36-year-old female with a type of organ failure that reduces her quality of life to half of what it would be in good health. Without treatment she can expect to live only two years. With a successful transplant, BN can expect to live four years and have a quality of life that is near 80% what she would enjoy in good health. However, the transplant costs $100,000, plus $10,000 each year for drugs and follow-up care, and carries a 15% risk of rejection resulting in immediate death. a) (20’) What is the cost per additional year of life gained (without discounting for time or quality of life)? b) (20’) What is the cost per discounted Quality-adjusted Life-year (QALY) gained (assuming a 5% time discount rate)?

Downhill Pizza, located near the Sugarloaf ski area, makes Tuscan style “homemade” pizza which it freezes and distributes throughout the northeast. It is considering a new more efficient pizza oven with a larger capacity. The installed cost will be $290,000. This cost will be depreciated straight line over its five year life to a zero salvage value as determined by the IRS (there is no half-year convention with straight line depreciation). However, the firm plans to sell the oven in four years (at t = 4) for $65,000. The oven will save the firm $110,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $28,000 which will be returned to the firm at the end of the project (at t=4). There are no other net working capital changes. If the tax rate is 28% and the project discount rate is 14%, what is the NPV of this project?
