Amal is considering opening a university in Kabul. In order to begin, she would need to purchase land, build offices and construct a dormitory for 200 students. Each year the university would run for 10 short semesters of one week each. She would hire graduate students as instructors and the ages of students are expected to be between 17 - 19. Amal expects that after 20 years, she will sell the land and building for more than its original purchase price. The following amounts have been estimated: Cost of land $ 730,000 Cost to build dorm and dining facility 2,000,000 Annual cash inflows assuming 100 players and 10 weeks 2,500,000 Annual cash outflows 2,250,000 Estimated useful life 20 years Salvage value 4,400,000 Discount rate 10% (a) Calculate the net present value of the project. (b) Now assume that if only 80 students attend each week, revenues will be $2,005,000 and expenses will be $1,860,000. What is the net present value using these alternative estimates? Discuss your findings.…
Karl has been hired to install a new air conditioning system in a building. The total cost of the project is $14,000. Karl charges $1,500 for labor plus 1/6 of the cost of the equipment and supplies.

The plant engineer of a major food processing corporation is evaluating alternatives to supply electricity to the plant. He will pay $3 million for electricity purchased from the local utility at the end of the first year and estimates that this cost will increase thereafter at $300,000 per year. He desires to know if he should build a 4000-kilowatt power plant. His operating costs (other than fuel) for such a power plant are estimated to be $130,000 per year. He is considering two alternative fuels: a. Wood: Installed cost of the power plant is $1200/kW. Fuel consumption is 30,000 tons per year. Fuel cost for the first year is $20/ton and is estimated to increase at a rate of $2/ton for each year after the first. No salvage value. b. Oil: Installed cost is $1000/kW. Fuel consumption is 46,000 barrels per year. Fuel cost is $34 per barrel for the first year and is estimated to increase at $1/barrel per year for each year after the first. No salvage value. If interest is 12%, and the…
Please solve this: Blue Mountain Cabin Jack and Jill Smith have just retired and want to build a small, basic cabin in the Blue Mountains of Vermont. They have hired Daryl Hannah as the general contractor for the project. She has assembled a team of three workers to complete the project: Tom, Dick, and Harry. Daryl has negotiated a cost-plus contract with the Smiths whereby she will receive 15 percent beyond the cost of labor and materials. Before they sign the contract the Smiths want an estimate of how much the project is likely to cost and how long it will take Darryl has estimated that the cost for materials, permits, etc, will total $40,000. She wants to determine labor costs as well as how long the project will take. This is one of sev- eral projects Daryl is managing, and other than occasionally helping out, her role is strictly limited to supervising. She has devised the following master plan and assignments. Note that Dick is the only skilled plumber in the group while Harry…
Sammie’s Club wants to buy a 320,000-square-foot distribution facility on the northern edge of a large midwestern city. The subject facility is presently renting for $4 per square foot. Based on recent market activity, two properties have sold within a two-mile distance from the subject facility and are very comparable in size, design, and age. One facility is 350,000 square feet and is presently being leased for $3.90 per square foot annually. The second facility contains 300,000 square feet and is being leased for $4.10 per square foot. Market data indicate that current vacancies and operating expenses should run approximately 50 percent of gross income for these facilities. The first facility sold for $9.4 million, and the second sold for $7.9 million. a. Using a “going-in” or direct capitalization rate approach to value, how would you estimate value for the subject distribution facility?b. What additional information would be desirable before the final direct rate (R) is selected?
Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 12 years ago for $3,776,276 in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $3,278,390. An engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of $748,629, and her conclusion was that the land can support the new manufacturing facility. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $5,555,713 million to build, and the site requires $1,384,583 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?

In building their plant, the officers of the International Leather Company had the choice between alternatives: One alternative is to build in Metro Manila where the plant would cost P3,000,000. Labor would cost annually P150,000 and annual overhead P60,000. Taxes and insurance would total 5% of the first cost of the plant. The second alternative would be to build in Bulacan costing P3,250,000. Labor would cost P120,000 annually and overhead would be P70,000. Taxes and insurance would be 3% of the first cost. The cost of raw materials would be the same in either plant. If capital must be recovered within 10 years and money is worth at least 20%, which site should the officers of the company choose. Use Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost Method. Draw Cash Flow Diagram.
Lou Lewis, the president of Lewisville Company, has asked you to give him an analysis of the best use of a warehouse the company owns. Lewisville Company is currently leasing the warehouse to another company for $5,800 per month on a year-to-year basis. (Hint: Use the PV function in Excel to calculate, on an after-tax basis, the PV of this stream of monthly rental receipts.) Lewisville Company is seriously considering converting the warehouse into a factory outlet for furniture. The remodeling will cost $140,000 and will be modest because the major attraction will be rock-bottom prices. The remodeling cost will be depreciated over the next 5 years using the double-declining-balance method. (Note: Use the VDB function in Excel to calculate depreciation charges. The advantage of using the VDB, rather than the DDB, function is that there is a (default) option in the former that provides an automatic switch to the straight-line method when it is advantageous to do so.) The inventory and…
