Big Tree McGee is negotiating his rookie contract with a professional basketball team. They have agreed to a three-year deal which will pay Big Tree a fixed amount at the end of each of the three years, plus a signing bonus at the beginning of his first year. They are still haggling about the amounts and Big Tree must decide between a big signing bonus and fixed payments per year, or a smaller bonus with payments increasing each year. The two options are summarized in the table. All values are payments in millions of dollars. (a) Big Tree decides to invest all income in stock funds which he expects to grow at a rate of 10% per year, compounded continuously. He would like to choose the contract option which gives him the greater future value at the end of the three years when the last payment is made. Which option should he choose? (b) Calculate the present value of each contract offer.

Assuming that all income from software sales is immediately invested in government bonds which pay interest at a 6% rate compounded continuously, calculate the total value of sales of Version 6.0 over the two-year period.

The value of good wine increases with age. Thus, if you are a wine dealer, you have the problem of deciding whether to sell your wine now, at a price of $P a bottle, or to sell it later at a higher price. Suppose you know that the amount a wine-drinker is willing to pay for a bottle of this wine t years from now is $P(1 + 20t). Assuming continuous compounding and a prevailing interest rate of 5% per year, when is the best time to sell your wine?

An oil company discovered an oil reserve of 100 million barrels. For time t > 0, in years, the companys extraction plan is a linear declining function of time as follows: q(t) = a bt, where q(t) is the rate of extraction of oil in millions of barrels per year at time t and b = 0.1 and a = 10. (a) How long does it take to exhaust the entire reserve? (b) The oil price is a constant $20 per barrel, the extraction cost per barrel is a constant $10, and the market interest rate is 10% per year, compounded continuously. What is the present value of the companys profit?

(b) Write an integral representing the present value in part (a). (You need not evaluate this integral.) (c) For what M is the present value of the stream of profits on this item maximized? What is the present value of the total profit earned up to that time?

In 1980, before the unification of Germany in 1990 and the introduction of the Euro, West Germany made a loan of 20 billion Deutsche Marks to the Soviet Union, to be used for the construction of a natural gas pipeline connecting Siberia to Western Russia, and continuing to West Germany (UrengoiUschgorodBerlin). Assume that the deal was as follows: In 1985, upon completion of the pipeline, the Soviet Union would deliver natural gas to West Germany, at a constant rate, for all future times. Assuming a constant price of natural gas of 0.10 Deutsche Mark per cubic meter, and assuming West Germany expects 10% annual interest on its investment (compounded continuously), at what rate does the Soviet Union have to deliver the gas, in billions of cubic meters per year? Keep in mind that delivery of gas could not begin until the pipeline was completed. Thus, West Germany received no return on its investment until after five years had passed. (Note: A more complex deal of this type was actually made between the two countries.)

In May 1991, Car and Driver described a Jaguar that sold for $980,000. At that price only 50 have been sold. It is estimated that 350 could have been sold if the price had been $560,000. Assuming that the demand curve is a straight line, and that $560,000 and 350 are the equilibrium price and quantity, find the consumer surplus at the equilibrium price.
