Consumer's and Producer's Surplus
The demand and supply for a particular type of chemical glassware is modeled by \[D(x)=-0.001x^2+154\] and \[S(x)=0.0002x^2+0.03x+100\] respectively, where \(x\) is the number of glassware units (in thousands) demanded and supplied, and both \(D(x)\) and \(S(x)\) are the glassware unit prices in dollars.

Annuities and Money Streams
Revenue flows continuously into a retail operation at the constant rate of \(f(t)=128\text{,}000\) dollars per year. As the money is received, it is placed into a non-interest-earning account. Determine how much money has accumulated in the operation’s account at the end of a \(3\)-year time period.
Suppose that at the end of each month, for \(6\) months, \(\$100\) is put into an account paying \(6\%\) annual interest compounded continuously. Except for the last \(\$100\), which earns no interest at all, each \(\$100\) earns interest over a different period of time. Using the continuous compounding formula \(A=Pe^{rt}\), find the total amount of money in the account at the end of \(6\) months.
Rental income from a piece of property, upon which there is an indefinite lease, flows at the rate of \(\$70\text{,}000\) per year. The income is invested immediately into an account paying \(6.5\%\) annual interest compounded continuously. Find and interpret the present value of the flow.

The value of real estate in a city is increasing, without limitations, at a rate proportional to its current value. A piece of property in the city appraised at \(\$240\text{,}000\) four months ago appraises at \(\$242\text{,}000\) today. At what value will the property be appraised \(12\) months from now?
The temperature of a machine when it is first shut down after operating is \(220^\circ\text{C}\). The surrounding air temperature is \(30^\circ\text{C}\). After \(20\) minutes, the temperature of the machine is \(160^\circ\text{C}\). Find a function that gives the temperature of the machine at any time, \(t\), and then find the temperature of the machine \(30\) after it is shut down.

A state’s weather service provides a continuously running \(120\)-second recorded telephone message about weather conditions throughout the state. If a person calls and gets connected to the message he or she hears the message at any point in the \(120\)-second run. If a person calls and gets connected, what is the probability that he or she will hear at most \(20\) seconds of the message before it repeats?
A machine is adjusted to dispense \(6\) ounces of coffee into a \(7\)-ounce cup. The amount of coffee dispensed is normally distributed mean \(\mu=6\) ounces and standard deviation \(\sigma=0.5\) ounces. Find the probability that a randomly selected cup is filled with between \(5.5\) and \(5.8\) ounces of coffee.
