Chapter 2, Problem 31P
NMTeX Oil owns several gas wells in Carlsbad, NM. Revenue from the wells has been increasing according to an arithmetic gradient for the past 5 years. The revenue in year 1 from well no. 24 was $390,000 and it increased by $15,000 each year thereafter. Determine (a) the revenue in year 3, and (b) the equivalent annual worth of the revenue through year 5. Assume an interest rate of 10% per year.

Rahmat plans to withdraw his money RM 3,090 each year for five years, beginning
at the 14th year. To keep his plan successful, he saves the money with the same
amount each year.
(i) Draw a cash flow to represent the flow of saving and withdrawing of the
money.
(ii) Calculate how much money should he deposits each year for 12 years,
starting from the first year. Assume the interest is 8% per year.

- A manufacturer of prototyping equipment wants to have $3,000,000 available 10 years from now so that a new product line can be initiated. If the company plans to deposit money each year, starting 1 year from now, the equation that represents how much the company is required to deposit each year at 10% per year interest to have the $3,000,000 immediately after the last deposit is: (a) 3,000,000(A∕F,10%,10) (b) 3,000,000(A∕F,10%,11) (c) 3,000,000 + 3,000,000(A∕F,10%,10) (d) 3,000,000(A∕P,10%,10)arrow_forwardAn arithmetic cash flow gradient series equals $450 in year 1, $550 in year 2, and amounts increasing by $100 per year through year 12.
