The purchased-equipment cost for a plant which produces pentaerythritol (solid-fluid pro- cessing plant) is $300,000. The plant is to be an addition to an existing formaldehyde plant. The major part of the building cost will be for indoor construction. The contractor's fee will be 7 percent of the direct plant cost. All other costs are close to the average values found for typical chemical plants. On the basis of this information, estimate the total direct plant cost, the fixed-capital investment, and the total capital investment.
