5. The city council is conducting a cost-benefit analysis for a new bridge. The construction materials for the bridge will cost \( \$ 80 \) million. The maintenance costs are estimated at \( \$ 7 \) million per year. The hourly wage for construction workers on this project is \( \$ 19.50 \) per hour. These workers could have earned \( \$ 15.50 \) in other jobs in the community and will spend 0.5 million hours completing the project. The new bridge is expected to save two lives each year, and individuals estimate the value of a life at \( \$ 9 \) million on average. It is also expected that drivers will save approximately 225000 hours of driving time each year. The after-tax return to a firm is \( 7 \% \), and the firm's tax rate is \( 50 \% \). What is the first-year cost? (a) \( \$ 80 \) million (b) \( \$ 7.75 \) million (c) \( \$ 87.75 \) million (d) \( \$ 187.75 \) million (e)

9. (8 Points) United Herman Company (based in the U.S.) plans to divest either its Japanese or its Belgium subsidiary. Assume that if exchange rates stayed constant, the dollar cash flows each of these subsidiaries will provide to the parent are somewhat similar. However, the firm expects the Yen to appreciate against the U.S. dollar, and the Euros to depreciate against the U.S. dollar in the future. The firm can sell either subsidiary for about the same price today. Which one should it sell and why?

A remote-controlled drone camera hovers directly above its operator on the ground. The operator is filming a target on the ground 20 meters away from where he is standing. The angle of depression from the drone to the target is ?. See the figure below. At time t = 0, the drone is at an altitude of 50 meters and descending straight toward the operator at a constant rate of 0.4 meters per second. The altitude (in meters) of the drone at time t (in seconds) is given by y = 50 - 0.4t. Complete the following. Do not round any intermediate computations. (a) Write a formula for the distance d(t) (in meters) between the drone and the target at time t (in seconds) while the drone is descending. d(t) = (b) What is the distance between the drone and the target at 25 seconds? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. meters (c) What is the angle of depression from the drone to the target at 25 seconds? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
