The technique for calculating a bid price can be extended to many other types of problems. Answer the following questions using the same technique as setting a bid price; that is, set the project NPV to zero and solve for the variable in question. Guthrie Enterprises needs someone to supply it with 159,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you’ve decided to bid on the contract. It will cost $1,990,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you’ll depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project’s life. You estimate that in five years this equipment can be salvaged for $169,000. Your fixed production costs will be $284,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $11.30 per carton. You also need an initial investment in net working capital of $149,000. The tax rate is 24 percent and you require a return of 13 percent on your investment. Assume that the price per carton is $17.90. |
| a. |
Calculate the project NPV. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
| b. |
What is the minimum number of cartons per year that can be supplied and still break even? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) |
| c. |
What is the highest fixed costs that could be incurred and still break even? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. |

U.S. v. Tillem.
The case is about of employees of the New York City Department of Health who inspect Manhattan restaurants to determine whether they comply with the City Health Code. The appellants are among 46 individuals arrested after a lengthy investigation into a scheme of corruption that took place in the New York City Department of Health (City Health Department or Department).

A circuit has a 2.9 V battery connected in series with a switch. When the switch is closed, the battery powers two paths in parallel, one of which has a resistor of resistance R1 = 80 Ω in series with an inductor of inductance L = 1×10−2 H , while the other has a resistor of resistance R2 = 230 Ω . What is the current supplied by the battery at a time t = 0.25 ms after the switch is closed? What is the current i1 supplied by the battery a time t = 0.25 ms after the switch is closed? Express your answer in amperes to three significant figures.

A quantity of N molecules of an ideal gas initially occupies volume V. The gas then expands to volume 2V. The number of microscopic states of the gas increases in the expansion. Under which of the following circumstances will this number increases the most? ( i ) if the expansion is reversible and isothermal ( ii ) if the expansion is reversible and adiabatic ( iii ) the number will change by the same amount for both circumstances. Why ?
