A university is trying to determine how much it should charge for tickets to basketball games to help offset the expenses of the new arena. The cost to build the arena including labor, materials. etc. was $92 million. Each year the maintenance cost is expected to increase by 5% as the building gets older. The maintenance cost for the first year is $150.000. Utilities are expected to average about $200,000 per year and labor costs $300,000. The average attendance at basketball games over the year is expected to be 100,000 people (or 100,000 tickets sold to events). Assuming the arena has no other source of income besides regular ticket sales (not including student tickets) for basketball games, what should the university charge sothat it can recover at least 6% cost of borrowing on its investment? The university expects the arena to be used for 40 years and to have no appreciable salvage value.

In 2016, the city of Abu Dhabi collected $24 million in fines from motorists because of traffic violations caught by red-light cameras. The cost of operating the system was $14.5 million. The net profit, that is, profit after operating costs, is split equally (that is, 50% each) between the city and the operator of the camera system. What will be the rate of return over a 3-year period to the contractor that paid for, installed, and operates the system, if its initial cost was $10 million and the profit for each of the 3 years is the same as it was in 2016? Should the company invest in this project at MARR of 15% per year?

A Corporation is considering to open an office in a new market area that would allow it to increase its annual sales by $1.8 million. Cost of goods sold is estimated to be 30 percent of the annual sales, and corporate overhead would be expected to increase by $180,000 not including the cost of either acquiring or leasing office space. The Corporation will also have to invest $1.5 million in office furniture, office equipment, and other up-front costs associated with opening the new office before considering the costs of owning or leasing the office space. A small office building could be purchased for its sole use by the corporation at a total price of $2.5 million, of which $500,000 is estimated for land value, and $2 million for its building value. The cost of the building would be depreciated over 30 years. The corporation is in a 30 percent tax bracket. An investor is willing to purchase the same building and lease it to the corporation for $200,000 per year for a term of 5 years,…
