Question
c. The bridge project must that is estimated to require 2 years to complete is about to go underway. The bridge is projected to cost $48 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 $5.5 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 $42.5 million. Its construction is also expected to be completed at the end of the 2-year period following planning & design. There will need to be a payout of 30% of the cost of construction at the end of the 1st year of construction project. The remaining 70% will be paid at the completion of the project. Assuming a discount rate of 4.25% and monthly compounding, what amount will need to be funded today to meet the complete project’s funding requirements on the payment due dates.

- 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.

Construction cost will be $300 million (at period = year 0). Annual maintenance is estimated to be $1 million every year from year 1 and in perpetuity. In addition, a major resurfacing will have to be carried out at the cost of $10 million every 10 years in perpetuity. MARR is 10%. It is estimated that 5 million vehicles per year will use the toll road starting in year 1 and in perpetuity, and each vehicle will pay a constant toll $T. Show the (indicative) cash flow diagram for this project. Use AW analysis to determine what breakeven constant toll $T should be charged to each vehicle to make sure benefits will be economically equivalent to costs.arrow_forward

It is expected that the bridge will have a life of 30 years. Construction costs will be paid by government agencies. Operation and maintenance costs are estimated to be $250,000 per year. Benefits to the public are estimated to be $900,000 per year. The building of the bridge will result in an estimated cost of $250,000 per year to the general public. The project requires a return of 5%.
