Annual maintenance costs for a particular section of highway pavement are $2500. The placement of a new surface would reduce the

annual maintenance cost to $500 per year for the first 3 years and to $1000 per year for the next 7 years. After 10 years the annual maintenance would again be $2500. If maintenance costs are the only saving, what investment can be justified for the new surface? Assume interest at 5%.

Answer:

The maximum investment is $6,360.111

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The placement of a new surface would reduce the annual maintenance cost to $500 per year for the first 3 years and to $1000 per year for the next 7 years. After 10 years the annual maintenance would again be $2500.

We need to find the net present value. The maximum initial investment will be the amount that makes the NPV cero.

NPV=∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf= cash flow

<u>For example:</u>

Year 1= 500/1.05= 476.19

Year 3= 500/1.05^3= 431.92

Year 5= 1,000/1.05^5= 783.53

NPV= 6,360.111

The maximum investment is $6,360.111

Inelastic demand creates an incentive for suppliers to: A) compete with each other and increase the quantity supplied. B) stop p
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

D) try to get together and limit the quantity supplied.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is defined as a measure of the responsiveness of changes in quantity demanded with change in price.

When price increases the quantity demanded falls.

If a good is inelastic it means that the price increase will not result in a big drop in quantity demanded.

So if suppliers notice a good is inelastic they will most likely come together to reduce supply while increasing prices. This will result in higher revenues for them as quantity demanded does not fall with increase in price.
