China spends an estimated $100,000 per year on cloud seeding efforts which include using anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers to fill the sky with silver iodide. In the United States, utilities that run hydroelectric dams are among the most active cloud seeders because they believe it is a cost-effective way to increase limited water supplies by 10% or more. If the yields of cash crops will increase by 4% per year for the next 3 years because of extra irrigation water captured behind dams during cloud seeding, what is the future worth (in year 3) of the extra value of the cash crops

Afirm plans to begin production of a new small appliance. the manager must decide whether to purchase the motors for the appliance from a vendor at $10 each or to produce them in-house. either of two processes could be used for in-house production; process a would have an annual fixed cost of $200,000 and a variable cost of $7 per unit, and process b would have an annual fixed cost of $175,000 and a variable cost of $8 per unit. determine the range of annual volume for which each of the alternatives would be best. (round your first answer to the nearest whole number. include the indifference value itself in this answer.)
