- An investment of P 250,000 can be made in a project that will produce a uniform annual revenue of P 192,800 for 5 years and then have a salvage value of 10% of the first cost. Operation and maintenance will be P 72,000 per year. Taxes and insurance will be 4% of the first cost per year. The company expects capital to earn 20% before income taxes. Show whether or not the investment is justified economically using1. ROR method2. payout methodYOUR QUESTION IS: 2. Three mutually exclusive design alternatives are being considered. The estimated sales and cost data for each alternative have been tabulated. The MARR is 20 per year. Annual revenues are based on the number of units sold and the selling price.

- The investor-developer would not be comfortable with a 7.8 percent return on cost because the margin for error is too risky. If construction costs are higher or rents are lower than anticipated, the project may not be feasible. The asking price of the project is $4,600,000 and the construction cost per unit is $80,400. The current rent to justify the land acqusition is $1.3 per square foot. The weighted average is 900 square feet per unit. Average vacancy and Operating expenses are 5% and 35% of Gross Revenue respectively. Use the following data to rework the calculations in Concept Box 16.2 in order to assess the feasibility of the project: Required: a. Based on the fact that the project appears to have 9,360 square feet of surface area in excess of zoning requirements, the developer could make an argument to the planning department for an additional 10 units, 250 units in total, or 25 units per acre. What is the percentage return on total cost under the revised proposal? Is the…An oil company plans to purchase a piece of vacant land at the corner of two busy streets for $50,000. On properties of this type, the company installs businesses of three different types. Each has an estimated useful life of 15 years. The salvage value for each is estimated to be the $50,000 land cost. Plan Cost (in addition to land cost) Type of business Net annual income A $ 83,000 Conventional gas station $ 26,500 B $ 195,000 Add automatic car wash $ 39,750 C $ 115,000 Add quick car wash $ 31,200 if the oil company expects a 10% rate of return on its investments, which plan (if any) should be selected? Use incremental analysis, before tax.Bell’s Amusements purchased an expensive ride for their theme and amusement park situated within a city-owned Expo Center. Bell’s had a multiyear contract with Expo Center. The ride cost $1.35 million, installed. Gross income from the ride was $420,000 per year, with operating expenses of $120,000. Bell’s anticipated that the ride would have a useful life of 12 years, after which the net salvage value would be $0. After 4 years, the city and Bell’s were unable to come to an agreement regarding an extended contract. In order to expedite Bell’s departure, Expo Center agreed to purchase the ride and leave it in place. Right at the end of the 4th fiscal year, Expo Center paid to Bell’s the $900,000 unrecovered investment based on using straight-line depreciation.

The mountain site (MS) will use injection wells that cost $4.2 million to develop and $280,000 per year for M&O. This site will be able to accommodate 150 million gallons per year. The valley site (VS) will involve recharge basins that cost $11 million to construct and $400,000 per year to operate and maintain. At this site, 720 million gallons can be injected each year. If the value of the injected water is $3.00 per thousand gallons, which alternative, if either, should be selected according to the B/C ratio method? Use an interest rate of 8% per year and a 20-year study period. The B/C ratio is . Select alternative (Click to select) neither of the alternatives mountain site valley site .1. Breakeven Analysis An aerodynamic three-wheeled automobile (the Dart) runs on compressed naturalgas stored in two cylinders in the rear of the vehicle. The $13,000 Dart can cruise at speeds up to 80 miles per hour, and it can travel 100 miles per gallon of fuel. Another two-seater automobile costs $10,000 and averages 50 miles per gallon of compressed natural gas. If fuel costs $8.00 per gallon and MARR is 10% and 15%per year, over what range of annual miles driven is the Dart more economical? Assume a useful life of five years for both cars.2. Sensitivity Analysis We know the standard means of cutting the high cost of driving our automobiles—slow down your speed, no jack rabbit starts, inflate tires properly, clean air filters regularly, and so on. Another way to reduce the cost of driving is to join every bigrigger in the United States and half of Europe-go diesel. Diesels are inherently more efficient than gasoline engines because they deliver a third better fuel mileage. They…
