A vintner is deciding when to release a vintage of Sauvignon Blanc. If it is bottled and released now, the wine will be worth $2.4 million. If it is barrel aged for a further year, it will be worth 10% more, though there will be additional costs of $360,000 incurred at the end of the year.
If the interest rate is 7%, what is the difference in the benefit the vintner will realize if he releases the wine after barrel aging it for one year or if he releases the wine now?

The new york times (nov. 30, 1993) reported that “the inability of opec to agree last week to cut production has sent the oil market into turmoil . . [leading to] the lowest price for domestic crude oil since june 1990.” why were the members of opec trying to agree to cut production? so they could save more oil for future consumption so they could lower the price so they could raise the price why do you suppose opec was unable to agree on cutting production? because each country has a different production capacity because each country experiences different production costs because each country has an incentive to cheat on any agreement the newspaper also noted opec’s view “that producing nations outside the organization, like norway and britain, should do their share and cut production.” what does the phrase “do their share” suggest about opec’s desired relationship with norway and britain? opec would like norway and britain to keep their production levels high. opec would like norway and britain to act competitively. opec would like norway and britain to join the cartel.
