Roads and Highways Department (RHD), Khulna has agreed to pool bridge and road toll-tax resources already designated for existing old bridge refurbishment. At a recent RHD meeting, the engineers estimated that a total of $500,000 will be deposited at the end of next year into an account for the repair of old and safety questionable bridges throughout the area. Further, they estimate that the deposits will increase by $100,000 per year for only 9 years thereafter, then cease. Determine the equivalent (a) present worth and (b) annual series amounts, if public funds earn at a rate 4% per year.

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?
St. George County has entered into a contract for the demolition and construction of a six-lane bridge. It is expected that the project will take three years to complete. The terms of the contract indicate that the county will retain 5 percent (retained percentage) from each progress billing.

A city starts a solid waste landfill that it expects to fill to capacity gradually over a 12-year period. At the end of the first year, it is 7 percent filled. At the end of the second year, it is 17 percent filled. Currently, the cost of closure and postclosure is estimated at $1 million. None of this amount will be paid until the landfill has reached its capacity. Which of the following is true for the Year 2 government-wide financial statements? a. Expense will be $100,000 and liability will be $170,000. b. Both expense and liability will be $100,000. c. Expense will be $90,000 and liability will be $180,000. d. Both expense and liability will be zero.

A government decided to make a 25-year loan on $2,000,000 to a "Toll Road Authority". The first 4 year of the loan period was spent on road construction during which time the government agreed to "capitalize" the interest until the road construction is completed and toll collection has started in the 5th year. $400,000 was expected to be spent at the beginning of the each of the first two years and the rest was also spent equally at the beginning of the 3rd and 4th year. a) What annual payment by the Toll Authority would repay the loan (principal plus interest) over the remaining 21 years at 10% annual compound interest? b) Assume the annual profit (toll collection minus all kinds of cost excluding the loan payment) is $350,000 and the life cycle is 21 year with zero salvage value. What is the IRR of this project? Comment on the economic feasibility when MARR=13%.
On January 2, 2011, Blink Corporation was granted 5,000 acres of land in a village, located near the slums outside city limits, by a local government authority.

The Public Service Board (PSB) awarded two contracts worth a combined $3.07 million to increase the depth of a retention basin and reconstruct a spillway that was severely damaged in a flood 2 years ago. The PSB president stated that, surprisingly, the bids were $1,150,000 lower than PSB engineers estimated. If the projects are assumed to have a 20-year life, what is the annual worth of the savings at an interest rate of 5% per year?
A village recently completed the construction of a new water tower. The entire cost of the water tower was $948,000, and the government paid $360,000 of the total cost through the awarding of a grant. In addition, the village can delay paying the balance of the cost for 40 years (without paying any interest during the 40 years).

An area on the Colorado River is subject to periodic flood damage that occurs, on the average, every two years and results in a $2,000,000 loss. It has been proposed that the river channel be straightened and deepened, at a cost of $2,500,000, to reduce the probable damage to not over $1,600,000 for each occurrence during a period of 20 years before it would have to be deepened again. This procedure would also involve annual expenditures of $80,000 for minimal maintenance. One legislator in the area has proposed that a better solution would be to construct a flood-control dam at a cost of $8,500,000, which would last indefinitely, with annual maintenance costs of not over $50,000. He estimates that this project would reduce the probable annual flood damage to not over $450,000. In addition, this solution would provide a substantial amount of irrigation water that would produce annual revenue of $175,000 and recreational facilities, which he estimates would be worth at least $45,000 per…
A state government is considering construction of a flood control dike having a life span of 15 years. History indicates that a flood occurs every five years and causes $600,000 in damages, on average. If the state uses aMARR of 12% per year and expects every public-works project to have a B–C ratio of at least 1.0, what is the maximum investment that will be allowed for the dike? Assume that the flood occurs in the middle of each five-year period. (a) $1,441,000 (b) $643,000 (c) $843,000 (d) $4,087,000 (e) $1,800,000.
