Two plants are emitting a uniformly mixed pollutant called gunk into the beautiful sky over Tourist-Town. Suppose the aggregate marginal reduction costs is MB = 400/3 - (2/3)x. Plant G has marginal reduction costs of MB1 = 200-2(x1), while Plant K has marginal reduction costs of MB2 = 100 - (x2), where x1 and x2 are the emissions level for each firm, and x = x1 + x2.
1) How much will each plant pollute if there is no environmental regulations?
2) The city government decides that it can tolerate total emissions of no more than 110 kgs of gunk per day. What is the cost effective pollution level for each plant if total pollution must equal 110?

Kim is a 27-year-old woman who recently moved from a small
town in Texas to work in the city of Dallas as a reporter for one
of the major newspapers. She is 5’6” tall and weighs 115 lb. To
keep in shape she likes to jog, which she did regularly in her
hometown. She doesn’t know anyone in Dallas and has been
lonely for her family since arriving. But she has moved into a
small apartment in a quiet neighborhood and hopes to meet
young people soon though her work and church.
On the first Saturday morning after she moved into her new
apartment, Kim decided to get up early and go jogging. It was
still dark out, but Kim was not afraid. She had been jogging
alone in the dark many times in her hometown. She donned her
jogging clothes and headed down the quiet street toward a nearby
park. As she entered the park, an individual came out from a
dense clump of bushes, put a knife to her throat, and ordered her
to the ground. She was raped and beaten unconscious. She
remained in that condition until sunrise when she was found by
another jogger who called emergency services, and Kim was
taken to the nearest emergency department. Upon regaining
consciousness, Kim was hysterical, but a sexual assault nurse
examiner (SANE) was called to the scene, and Kim was assigned
to a quiet area of the hospital, where the post-rape examination
was initiated.
Answer the following questions related to Kim:
1. What are the initial nursing interventions for Kim?
2. What treatments must the nurse ensure that Kim is aware
are available for her?
3. What nursing diagnosis would the nurse expect to focus on

A small town gets its water supply from three nearby lakes, A, B, and C. Sometimes in the late summer
the water level in a lake falls below a certain critical level. When this occurs, there is a risk that the water
from that lake will become polluted with E-Coli. If the water supply to the town becomes polluted, the
residents are advised to boil their water. If only the water level at lake A falls below the critical level,
experience has shown that the residents will have a 5% chance of a boil water advisory. Similarly, if
only the water levels at lakes B or C fall below the critical level, chances of a boil water advisory are
4% and 7%, respectively. If two or more lakes fall below the critical levels simultaneously, the risk
of a boil water advisory rises to 40%. Lake A falls below the critical level in 30% of the summers,
while this number is 50% and 20% for lakes B and C, respectively. The probability that exactly two
lakes will fall below their critical levels simultaneously is 12%, and it is equally likely to be any two of
the three. Finally, there is a 3% chance that all three lakes will simultaneously fall below their critical
levels. During some summer in the future:
a) What is the probability that the residents will have a boil water advisory? (answer:0.0914)
b) If the residents have a boil water advisory, what is the probability that the water level will fall
below the critical level at lake B alone? (answer:0.1707)
c) If the residents have a boil water advisory, what is the probability that the water level will fall
below the critical levels at two or more lakes simultaneously? (answer:0.6565)

Italian Valley Restaurant
Having assessed the changing dietary needs of your town, you are considering investing in a new Italian
restaurant which you plan to name Italian Valley. The restaurant will feature live musicians, appetizers,
and a stocked bar. You are trying to assess the likely profitability of this business venture. As a new
graduate of the UWI your first step is to prepare a complete capital budgeting analysis for the 5 years you
plan to operate the restaurant before you sell it.
Having spoken with local vendors, other restaurant owners, bankers, and builders you collected the
following data and information about the proposal.
You plan to use a building currently owned by your family, however there will be need for some renovation
and improvements to the property. Your parents have said that you can use the retail space in any way
you wish for free. After checking on local lease rates you determine this space would lease for $75,500
per year. Your family also owns another restaurant downtown. You predict that your new one will
decrease its revenues by $15,000 per year. Your parents tell you that this sum will be taken from your
annual family stipend.
Some of the major improvements to the property include the purchase of cooking equipment, building a
stage, seating, and interior décor. The construction is estimated to cost $1.75 million. An additional
$375,000 will be spent on chairs, tables, bar equipment, and decorations. Depreciation will be over 7
years using MACRS*. You determine that you will require an average cash balance of $15,000 and
inventory of $20,000. Accounts payable should average $10,000. Your local bank has agreed to loan you
monies to pay for these expenses at a 15% interest rate.
You plan to hire a research consultant to conduct a market study, since you believe your chances of
success will increase with greater information about the restaurant market. The charge for this report
will be $200,000.
Revenues are estimated to be $600,000 the first year. Revenues are expected to increase by 20% the
second year, 15% the third year, and continue increasing at 8% thereafter. Fixed annual operating costs
are estimated to be as follows.
Employee salaries = $110,000;
Heat, electricity, water, and janitorial services =$75,000.
The food and liquor bill is expected to be 15% of revenues. Total taxes are estimated to be 40% of net
revenues.
Your plan is to run the bar for 5 years, then to sell it to an investor for $2,000,000.
Required:
1. Prepare a cash flow analysis which includes:
a. the initial investment, ( 5 points)
b. the annual net cash flows, and (46 points)
c. the terminal cash flow. (7 points)
2. What is the Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of this venture? (5 points)
3. Should you invest in this venture and why? (2 points)
(TOTAL 65 POINTS)
Clearly SHOW ALL WORKING in a table format in either Microsoft Excel or Word. Ensure that your table
shows all relevant cash flows such as initial investment flows, Revenue, Expenditure, Depreciation,
Taxes, terminal year cash flows from year 0 to end of project life.
