Capitalized Cost In Exercises 51 and 52, find the capitalized cost \(C\) of an asset \((a)\) for \(n=5\) years, \((b)\) for \(n=10\) years, and (c) forever. The capitalized cost is given by \(C=C_{0}+\int_{0}^{n} c(t) e^{-r t} d t\) where \(C_{0}\) is the original investment, \(t\) is the time in years, \(r\) is the annual interest rate compounded continuously, and \(c(t)\) is the annual cost of maintenance (measured in dollars). [Hint: For part (c), see Exercises \(35-38 .]\) $$ C_{0}=\$ 650,000, c(t)=25,000(1+0.08 t), r=12 \% $$
Approximate the integral using (a) the Trapezoidal Rule and (b) Simpson's Rule for the indicated value of \(n\). (Round your answers to three significant digits.) $$ \int_{0}^{2} \sqrt{1+x^{3}} d x, n=4 $$
Use the error formulas to find \(n\) such that the error in the approximation of the definite integral is less than \(0.0001\) using (a) the Trapezoidal Rule and (b) Simpson's Rule. $$ \int_{0}^{1} x^{3} d x $$
Present Value In Exercises 25 and 26, use a program similar to the Simpson's Rule program on page 906 with \(n=8\) to approximate the present value of the income \(c(t)\) over \(t_{1}\) years at the given annual interest rate \(r\). Then use the integration capabilities of a graphing utility to approximate the present value. Compare the results. (Present value is defined in Section 12.1.) $$ c(t)=200,000+15,000 \sqrt[3]{t}, r=10 \%, t_{1}=8 $$
Lumber Use The table shows the amounts of lumber used for residential upkeep and improvements (in billions of board-feet per year) for the years 1997 through \(2005 .\) (Source: U.S. Forest Service) \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline Year & 1997 & 1998 & 1999 & 2000 & 2001 \\ \hline Amount & \(15.1\) & \(14.7\) & \(15.1\) & \(16.4\) & \(17.0\) \\ \hline \end{tabular} \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|} \hline Year & 2002 & 2003 & 2004 & 2005 \\ \hline Amount & \(17.8\) & \(18.3\) & \(20.0\) & \(20.6\) \\ \hline \end{tabular} (a) Use Simpson's Rule to estimate the average number of board-feet (in billions) used per year over the time period. (b) A model for the data is $$ L=6.613+0.93 t+2095.7 e^{-t}, \quad 7 \leq t \leq 15 $$ where \(L\) is the amount of lumber used and \(t\) is the year, with \(t=7\) corresponding to 1997 . Use integration to find the average number of board- feet (in billions) used per year over the time period. (c) Compare the results of parts (a) and (b).
