The sales and finance team of a car company is evaluating a new proposed luxury model of its brand that will require an investment of $1Billion in a new machine for car interior decoration. Demand for the company’s car is expected to begin at 100,000 units in year 1, with 10% annual growth thereafter. Production cost will be $35,000 per unit in the first year, and increase by a rate of either 3% or 5% per year as a result of wage increase. Selling price will start at $37,000 and increase by 4% of the production cost. The model will be phased out at the end of year 10. In addition, 0.3%, 2% and 1.5% of before tax profit per year will be spent on social corporate responsibility, commercial (including promotions) and recalls respectively. Assume taxes will be 30% of yearly profit and that inflation will remain at 0% per year throughout the 10 year of production. Also assume interest rate is expected to be 3% per year in the first 5 years and 5% in the last 5 years. a. Based on present worth analysis, is the proposed investment profitable if production cost increases by a rate of 3% per year as a result of wage increase? Justify your answer. (15 marks) b. Based on present worth analysis, is the proposed investment profitable if production cost increases by a rate of 5% per year as a result of wage increase? Justify your answer

Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the mean value theorem on the given interval? f(x) = 4x^2 + 3x + 4, [−1, 1] no, f is continuous on [−1, 1] but not differentiable on (−1, 1). no, f is not continuous on [−1, 1]. yes, f is continuous on [−1, 1] and differentiable on (−1, 1) since polynomials are continuous and differentiable on . there is not enough information to verify if this function satisfies the mean value theorem. yes, it does not matter if f is continuous or differentiable; every function satisfies the mean value theorem.
