El Paso Water (EPW) purchases surface water for treatment and distribution to EPW customers from the County Water Improvement District during the irrigation season. A new contract between the two entities resulted in a reduction in future price increases in the cost of the water from 8% per year to 4% per year for the next 20 years. The cost of water next year (which is year 1 of the new contract) will be $260 per acre-ft. Using an interest rate of 6% per year, (a) Determine the present worth of the savings (in terms of $/acre-ft) to EPW between the old and the new contracts.(b) Determine the total present worth of the savings over the life of the contract if EPW uses 51,000 acre-ft per year.
Sheldon Coopers Lab Services (SCLS) is bidding upon a service contract to maintain and upgrade 5 of the University's science labs per year for the next six years.

Marin Construction Inc. agrees to construct a boat dock at the Smooth Sailing Marina for $32,400. In addition, under the terms of the contract, Smooth Sailing will pay Marin a performance bonus of up to $12,000 based on the timing of completion. The performance bonus will be paid fully if construction is completed by the agreed-upon date. The performance bonus decreases by $2,400 per week for every week beyond the agreed-upon completion date. Marin has constructed a number of boat docks under similar agreements. Marin’s management estimates, that it has a 60% probability of completing the project on time, a 20% probability of completing the project one week late, and a 20% probability of completing the project two weeks late. Management does not believe the project will be more than two weeks late.Determine the transaction price that Marin should compute for this agreement.
