b. This 2-mile length of 4-lane divided roadway project is estimated to require 2 years to complete following planning & design. The roadway to be constructed is projected to cost $125,000 per lane mile. It will need to begin construction 12 months prior to the project’s estimated completion date. Your government controls the permitting process for the roadway and has already issued the necessary permits. The total roadway project will be paid for at its completion. Assuming a discount rate of 4.25% and monthly compounding, what amount will need to be funded today

1. This project must fund the construction of an on/off-interchange from an adjacent highway, a 2-mile length of 4-lane divided roadway, and a bridge that will cross a 500-foot wide river. The entire project is estimated to require 2 years to complete following planning & design.a. The interchange is projected to cost $50 million. It will need to begin construction in 18 months. Rights-of-way acquisition, surveying, and permitting have already been completed and paid for by the program. There will be 2 additional project phases: 1) planning & design, 2) construction. Each will require payment at the end of the phase. The projected cost of the 1st phase of the project is $2.5 million. The 1st phase is expected to need the entire 18 months prior to the start of construction and must be completed before construction can begin. The 2nd phase is projected to cost the remaining $47.5 million. It is expected to be completed at the end of the 2-year period following planning &…

Green County is planning to construct a bridge across the south branch of Carey Creek to facilitate traffic flow though Clouser Canyon. The first cost for the bridge will be $9,500,000. Annual maintenance and repairs the first year of operation, estimated to be $10,000, are expected to increase by $1000 each year thereafter. In addition to regular maintenance, every 5 years the roadway will be resurfaced at a cost of $750,000, and the structure must be painted every 3 years at a cost of $100,000. If Green County uses 5% as its cost of money and the bridge is expected to last for 20 years, what is the EUAC?
In building a highway, the district engineer is faced with the alternatives of building a 4-lane underpass that would take care of all future needs of building or a 2-lane underpass now and a second underpass 20 years later. For the 4-lane underpass:First cost = ₱ 400,000Annual maintenance cost = ₱ 10,000No salvage valueFor the 2-lane underpass:First cost = ₱ 270,000Annual maintenance cost = ₱ 8,000No salvage valueWhich of the following gives us the best alternative that should be adopted by showing the difference of its equivalent present worth
Assume that to comply with the Air Quality Control Act of 1989, a company must install three smokestack scrubber units to its ventilation stacks at an installed cost of $335,000 per unit. An estimated $100,000 per unit in fines could be saved each year over the five-year life of the ventilation stacks. The cost of capital is 14% for the firm. a) Draw the timeline with the cash flows for the project. b) Calculate the NPV of the project and make the decision to accept/reject. Briefly explain.
A toll bridge across the Mississippi River is being considered as a replacement for the current I-40 bridge linking Tennessee to Arkansas. Because this bridge, if approved, will become a part of the U.S. Interstate Highway system, the B–C ratio method must be applied in the evaluation. Investment costs of the structure are estimated to be $17,500,000, and $325,000 per year in operating and maintenance costs are anticipated. In addition, the bridge must be resurfaced every fifth year of its 30-year projected life at a cost of $1,250,000 per occurrence (no resurfacing cost in year 30). Revenues generated from the toll are anticipated to be $2,500,000 in its first year of operation, with a projected annual rate of increase of 2.25 % per year due to the anticipated annual increase in traffic across the bridge. Assuming zero market (salvage) value for the bridge at the end of 30 years and aMARR of 10% per year, should the toll bridge be constructed ?
The city of Peachtree is comparing the following two plans for supplying water to a newly developed subdivision:1 Plan A will manage requirements for the next 15 years; at the end of thatperiod, the initial cost of $1,500,000 will have to be doubled to meet the requirements of subsequent years. The facilities installed in years 0 and15 may be considered permanent; however, certain supporting equipmentwill have to be replaced every 30 years from the installation dates at a costof $200,000. Operating costs are $91,000 a year for the first 15 years and$182,000 thereafter. Beginning in the 21st year, they will increase by $3,000a year.2 Plan B will supply all requirements for water indefinitely into the future,although it will operate at only half capacity for the first 15 years. Annualcosts over this period will be $105,000 and will increase to $155,000 beginning in the 16th year. The initial cost of Plan Bis $1,950,000; the facilities can be considered permanent, although it will be…
