One of the chair lifts at a ski resort unloads 1800 skiers per hour at the top of the slope. The ride from the bottom to the top takes 12 minutes. How many skiers are riding on the lift at any given time?
In 2.0 minutes, a ski lift raises 4 skiers at constant speed to a height of 135 m. The average mass of each skier is 65 kg. What is the average power provided by the tension in the cable pulling the lift?
In 2.97 minutes, a ski lift raises four skiers at constant speed to a height of 131 m. The average mass of each skier is 69.6 kg. What is the average power provided by the tension in the cable pulling the lift?

Price Discrimination (3 points) A ski resort caters to both out-of-town skiers and local skiers. The demand for lift tickets for each market segment is independent of the other market segment. The marginal cost of servicing a skier of either type is $40. The demand formulas for the two market segments are: Out-of-towners: Qo=1000-5P Locals: QL=1000-10P (a) Assume that the resort charges one price to all skiers. What is the total demand formula? What is the profit-maximizing price? How many...
Problem 3: Sensitivity of NPV to Discount Rates A ski resort wants to expand by opening more trails and adding a new high-speed chair lift. The initial capital investment for the expansion is $150,000 in year 0 and the resort will not benefit financially until after the project is completed in year 3. After that the annual net benefits will be $20,000 at the end of each year. Assume a lifetime of 25 years for the expansion. a) Is this...
