The annual revenues (in $1000 units) associated with several large apartment complexes are $0, $350, $290, $460, $150, and $320 for years 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Determine (1) whether each cash flow series is conventional or nonconventional, (2) the maximum number of real-number roots, and (3) if there is one, positive real-number i* value. The cash flows for years 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively, are:
(a) $?1500, $?90, $?40, $?85, $?60, and $?90
(b) $?1500, $?450, $?300, $?400, $?125, and $?400
(c) $1500, $?450, $?300, $?500, $?200, $?400
(d) $?1500, $?450, $?300, $?400, $?125, and $?310
(a) Net cash flow: $-1500, $260, $250, $375, $90, and $230
Cum. cash flow: $-1500, $-1240, $-990, $-615, $-525, and $-295
Conventional; Descartes rule: 1; Norstrom’s criterion: inconclusive
(b) Net cash flow: $-1500, $-100, $-10, $60, $25, and $-80
Cum cash flow: $-1500, $-1600, $-1610, $-1550, $-1525, and $-1605
Non-conventional; Descartes rule: 2; Norstrom’s criterion: inconclusive
(c) Net cash flow: $1500, $-100, $-10, $-40, $-50, and $-80
Cum cash flow: $1500, $-1400, $1390, $1350, $1300, and $1220
Conventional; Descartes rule: 1; Norstrom’s criterion: S0 > 0, does not apply
(d) Net cash flow: $-1500, $-100, $-10, $60, $25, and $10
Cum cash flow: $-1500, $-1600, $-1610, $-1550, $-1525, and $-1515
Conventional; Descartes rule: 1; Norstrom’s criterion: inconclusive

Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. The starting of fairly large DC motors requires that current be increased gradually and at the same time resistance must be inserted in series with the armature of the motor. 2. The current taken by the armature will be abnormally high unless the DC supply is increased gradually. 3. The counter emf developed by a motor is proportional to the speed of the motor unless the field is constant. 4. The total starting current is equal to the armature current plus the field current of 1 ampere. 5. Resistors may be rated in watts.
