Instructions Put the names and email adresses of each student who works on this homework into the sheet titled "Your Info". Remember that you should only work in groups of three or fewer. The remaing sheets titled "Q1" through "Q6" each contains 1 question, although most questions have multiple parts. Make sure you do all your calculations in Excel. If you do the calculations by hand or in a calculator and then just type in the answer you will receive 0 points, even if the answer is correct. If you have any questions please ask, and good luck! sheet titled "Your Info". uestions have multiple calculator and then just Your Info Last Name Student 1 Student 2 Student 3 First Name Email Question 1 With the function Z(x,y)=2.5x^3-4y^2+7xy, calculate Z values at the different levels of X and Y in the table below. If Z is negative, show the value of Z in red with no negative sign (i.e. -3 should show 3). The operator for the exponent is a caret (^). For example, 2*x^2 - y^2 + 7*x*y + 30.

George Michael is turning five years old today, and Michael wants to start a new tradition where he deposits an amount into George Michael's savings acount each birthday until he turns 21. He wants the amount to be just enough to pay for all four years of George Michael's school. You can assume that tuition payments will be made on George Michael's 18th through 21st birthday. You can also assume that the current cost of tuition is $30,000 a year, and that the cost is supposed to increase by 3.5% a year. If George Michael's savings account earns 6% a year, how much should Michael deposit today? Deposit Amount Interest Rate College Cost This Year Cost Growth Rate PV of Total Tuition Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 George Michael's Age 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 $ 6.0% 30,000.00 3.5% Tuition Costs Deposits Balance ege.

The forklif costs $42,000 and would be depreciated to a salvage value of zero in 7 years, even though it is expected to last for 10 years. The warehouse expansion would cost $100,000 and would be depreciated to a salvage value of $60,000 in 10 years. The expansion would allow Universal to sell 1,000,000 more pounds per year at $0.20 per pound (the fertilizer actually costs Universal $0.17 per pound to manufacture). Universal's marginal tax rate is 25% and its required rate of return is 12%.

The mortgage is a 30 year mortgage with monthly payments. Today you can refinance the loan at a 6% interest rate for a fee of $7,500. Assume that you would only refinance enough to repay the old loan and the cost of refinancing. A - Calculate the amount of the new loan and monthly payments of each loan (table below) Initial Loan Refinancing Annual Rate 7.50% 6.00% Life (In Years) 30 30 Loan Amount $ 200,000.00 B - How much would you still owe on the loan afer 3 years?

C - Suppose that you have the option to buy the car with a 3 year car loan or lease the car during the same period of time. The 3 year lease option will require a $3,000 down payment and monthly payments of $350. If the salvage value of the new vehicle afer 3 years is $5,000 and you can invest at a rate of return of 4%, what is your best option? (Ignore your old vehicle.)
