Aquality characteristic has a specification (in cm) of 0.40 ± 0.03. if the value of the quality characteristic exceeds 0.40 by the tolerance of 0.03 on either side, the product will require a $180 repair. in the given scenario, the taguchi loss function is correctly represented by which of the following equations? (a) l(x) = 2,000 (x - 0.43) 2(b) l(x) = 200,00 (x - 0.37) 2(c) l(x) = 200,000 (x - 0.40) 2(d) l(x) = 200 (x - 0.03) 2

Investment x offers to pay you $5,700 per year for 9 years, whereas investment y offers to pay you $8,300 per year for 5 years. if the discount rate is 6 percent, what is the present value of these cash flows?
