Red Yoder is an 80-year-old farmer who lives alone in the farmhouse where he grew up. It is located 20 miles outside of town. Red has been a widower for 10 years. Red rarely cooks for himself and mainly eats packaged or processed foods. His son, Jon, manages the farm now, but Red is still involved in the decision making.Red’s current medical problems include insulin-dependent diabetes complicated by an open foot wound. He also has some incontinence and difficulty sleeping.

Red is awaiting a visit from the home health nurses. He relates that he has an open wound on his big toe that developed after walking in a new pair of shoes. When his daughter-in-law, Judy, saw the wound, she called the family doctor, who suggested a visit by the wound care nurse, who works with the home health agency. Red agreed as long as his VA benefits cover the costs. Red is aware that his son and daughter-in-law have concerns about him living alone, but Red insists that while he needs a little help from Jon and Judy at times, he is still capable of caring for himself.

Banana Music Society is a​ not-for-profit organization that brings guest artists to the​ community's greater metropolitan area. The music society just bought a small concert hall in the center of town to house its performances. The lease payments on the concert hall are expected to be $4,000 per month. The organization pays its guest performers $1,500 per concert and anticipates corresponding ticket sales to be $4,500 per concert. The music society also incurs costs of approximately $1,600 per concert for marketing and advertising. The organization pays its artistic director $30,000 per year and expects to receive $29,000 in donations in addition to its ticket sales.

Mr Rabbit, Mr Bear and Mr Fox go to town. A new bakery has just opened, and in an attempt to attract awareness, it is offering free unlimited samples of its chocolate chip cookies. However, the free cookies can only be consumed in-store (you cannot take them home).

Mr. Rabbit ate 10 cookies and then stopped

Mr. Bear ate 25 cookies before he stopped, then bought a milkshake.

Mr. Fox had 30 cookies and then stopped.

The owner of the bakery, Mr. Turtle, said “I am glad you like the cookies!” Here’s is a funny story about my muffins...last week, I dropped the price on muffins 20% but I only sold 20% more! In the end, the total muffin sales were the same as if they were normally priced!!

Briefly explain your answer to the questions below:

  1. Who got to zero marginal utility for the cookies first?
  2. Mr Bear still was not full after 25 cookies, since he paid for a milkshake. Why would he pay for a milkshake when he could keep eating cookies for free?
  3. What kind of price elasticity is Mr Turtle seeing on his muffins?

Problem 5. The aquifer source water used by the town of Pandarwin, IL contains 32 mg/L Fe2+ and 97 µg/L arsenic, predominantly in the form of As(III). To meet the new MCL of 10 µg/L the local water utility is considering several strategies. One strategy involves adding hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to the water. Arsenic removal occurs indirectly as a byproduct of the reaction between Fe2+ and H2O2. When H2O2 reacts with Fe2+, hydroxyl radical intermediates (•OH) are produced which can rapidly oxidize As(III) to As(V). The As(V) can then be removed by coprecipitation with and adsorption onto Fe(OH)3(s) precipitates during sand filtration. The source water is well buffered at pH 8.0 by dissolved carbonate species.

(a) Write the balanced redox reaction between Fe2+ and H2O2. Fe2+ is converted to Fe(OH)3(s) and H2O2 is converted to H2O.

(b) The treatment plant flow rate is 107 L/day. If we assume that the reaction from part (a) goes to completion as written, calculate the mass of H2O2 that will be required each day to consume all the dissolved Fe2+ in the source water entering the plant.

(c) If we assume that each H2O2 molecule generates a single ⋅OH intermediate when it reacts with Fe2+, estimate the fraction of ⋅OH intermediates that will be used to convert As(III) to As(V) in the source water. Assume that each As(III) molecule reacts with only a single ⋅OH intermediate

Shrieves Casting Company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the company hires you, a recently business school graduate, to conduct capital budgeting analysis. The production line would be set up in unused space in Shrieves' main plant. The machinery’s invoice price would be approximately $200,000; another $10,000 in shipping charges would be required; and it would cost an additional $30,000 to install the equipment. The machinery has an economic life of 4 years, and would be a class 8 with a 20% CCA rate. The machinery is expected to have a salvage value of $25,000 after 4 years of use.                                                                                                                                                                                                              

The new line would generate incremental sales of 1,250 units per year for four years at an incremental cost of $100 per unit in the first year, excluding depreciation. Each unit can be sold for $200 in the first year. The sales price and cost are expected to increase by 3% per year due to inflation. Further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net operating working capital would have to increase by an amount equal to 12% of sales revenues. The firm’s tax rate is 28%, and its overall weighted average cost of capital is 10 percent. Suppose the firm had spent $100,000 last year to rehabilitate the production line site.Assume that the plant space could be leased out to another firm at $25,000 a year.     

What is the project's after-tax NPV? Should the project proceed? Prepare a report including capital budgeting, risk analysis and comments.

Jake and Lilly Gifford founded J&L Packaging, Inc. (J&LP) in 1995 after graduating from the University of Cincinnati.

Jake and Lilly Gifford founded J&L Packaging, Inc. (J&LP) in 1995 after graduating from the University of Cincinnati. Jake earned a degree in robotics and mechanical engineering, while Lilly graduated with a degree in computer science. They met at the university while working on an information systems course project and married immediately after graduation. Their privately held firm manufactured cardboard packaging and boxes for computer devices such as personal computers, keyboards, replacement hard drives, servers, and so on. Many of their packages were high-end boxes with glossy finishes and the company’s logo on the box. Last year, J&L Packaging, Inc. sales were $106 million.

J&LP Packaging provided many services with their products, such as box and packaging design engineering and consulting, embossing and foil guidance, barcode advice, cartons that fold and collapse for easy storage, and a variety of colors and box strengths. In 2010, J&LP began to research the sustainability issues regarding boxes in the reverse logistics supply chain.Their research lead to a change in production technologies to accommodate up to 100 percent recycled fiber content and solar panels on the roofs of their two U.S. factories. They also hired an engineer to lead the company’s efforts to become a “Green Cycle”-certified manufacturer.

J&LP recently purchased and installed an ISOWA FALCON state-of-the-art, four-color, high-speed flexo box machine with an extensive zero defects quality control system. This box cutting and fabrication machine is manufactured in Kasugai, Japan, by the ISOWA Corporation (www.isowa.com). There are several videos of this automated machine in operation on YouTube,” for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v5XofTns666Aw.

J&LP’s financial information for last year follows. It is assumed the business operates 300 days per year. One note in J&LP financial statement states that the $4,906,000 of inventory does not include $886,000 in inventory allowances for excess, cancelled orders, and obsolete inventories. The note goes on to say, “Inventory management remains an area of focus as we balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive lead times versus the risk of inventory obsolescence because of changing technology and customer requirements. The box and packaging business is a dynamic industry that must quickly accommodate customer requirements, changes in forecasts, and new findings from research and development on product features and options.” The following data (in thousands of dollars $) is provided.

• Manufactured Goods$87,475
• Services$18,619
• Total$106,094
