help with 6 and 7 please, they are at the very end
6. Which is preferable based on PW comparative incremental analysis, Bender or Wall-E? When they are compared against each other:
a. Bender, i* is roughly 29%
b. Wall-E, i* is roughly 29%
c. Bender, i* is roughly 20%
d. Wall-E, i* is roughly 20%
e. Neither as i* is not above the MARR
7. If TARS were added to the resourcing work of the Big Farma then their cost function would be 1/2 what it is currently but you have to add in the AOC for TARS (you can ignore the first cost and revenue of TARS). The Revenue function stays the same for Big Farma whether you use TARS or not. Find the number of liters per year to maximize profit for the propellant production using TARS. ________________________ liters per year
Interest and MARR Interest is expected to be 10% per year unless stated otherwise, and that will be the MARR unless otherwise stated Time 13 weeks in a quarter, 52 weeks in a year, 4 quarters in a year, 3 months per quarter Taxation Effective tax rate is 30% Capital & Exchange Capital can be borrowed at 12% per year but only for droids Skywalker Towers has $300K in available funding Company 1: Big Farma The company Big Farma creates in-situ solutions for space colonies using state-of-the-art technology. With a focus on Mars and space exploration, Big Farma uses a staff given in the tables below for their propellant and food production facilities. Propellant Production Facility Average annual salaries: Yearly Revenue function: -0.014Q2 + 64Q First Line Workers: $30K Yearly Cost function: 0.008Q2 + 4.4Q + 16 Engineers: $75K Managers: Where Q is thousands of liters per year and all amounts shown are in units of K CEO $120K $1.2M As profitability increases, Big Farma wishes to institute a social corporate responsibility program (CSR) to improve its image to the public. In order to do so, Big Farma is considering multiple options for a recreational facility, as follows: Palpatine Dam and Recreational Lake E FIRST COST LIFE BIC RATIO VS.

The service is then provided at $55K per year for the 3 years and every combat of a rebel alliance member costs an additional $5 per combatant unless they are named Luke. Company 4: Firefly Security Firefly security does defense service for clients at a flat rate of $21 for each rebel alliance member combatted. They have a profit margin per combatant of: TIE-0.033C3 + 2.2C2 - 1.1C-200 where is the number of combatants encountered per quarter year. 6.
