Tom Sewel has gathered data on the relative costs of a solar water heater system and a conventional electric water heater. The data are based on statistics for a mid-American city and assume that during cloudy days an electric heating element in the solar heating system will provide the necessary heat. The installed cost of a conventional electric water tank and heater is $200. A family of four uses an average of 300 liters of hot water a day, which takes $230 of electricity per year. The glass-lined tank has a 20-year guarantee. This is probably a reasonable estimate of its actual useful life. The installed cost of two solar panels, a small electric pump, and a storage tank with auxiliary electric heating element is $1400. It will cost $60 a year for electricity to run the pump and heat water on cloudy days. The solar system will require $180 of maintenance work every 4 years. Neither the conventional electric water heater nor the solar water heater will have any salvage value at the end of its useful life. Using Tom's data what is the payback period if the solar water heater system is installed, rather than the conventional electric water heater?

Some years ago it was estimated that the demand for steel approximately satisfied the equation p=194-25x x, and the total cost of producing x units of steel was upper c left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 145 plus 40 x. (the quantity x was measured in millions of tons and the price and total cost were measured in millions of dollars.) determine the level of production and the corresponding price that maximize the profits.
