You have been asked to evaluate investment of purchasing a parking lot under the following conditions: - The proposal is for a parking lot costing $4,000,000. The deck has an expected useful life of 15 years and a net salvage value of $625,000 (after tax adjustment). - The tenants have recently signed long-term leases, which leads you to believe that the current rental income of $250,000 per year will remain constant for the first five years, then the rental income will increase by 10% for every five-year interval over the remaining asset life. - The estimated operating expenses, including income taxes, will be $65,000 for the first year and will increase by $6,000 each year thereafter. Considering an annual interest rate of 15%, what is the net present worth (NPW)?

1. An investment of P270,000 can be made in a project that will produce a uniform annual revenue of P185,400 for 5 years and then have a salvage value of 10%of the investment. Out-of-pocket costs for operations and maintenance will be P81,000 per year. Taxes and insurance will be 4% of the first cost per year. The company expects capital to earn not less than 25% before income taxes. Is this a desirable investment? What is the payback period of the investment?
A steam generation system at a biomass-fueled power plant uses an electrostaticprecipitator (ESP) to clean its gaseous effluents. The power plant has consistently made use ofthe same type of ESP over the past several years. The installed cost of a new ESP has beenrelatively constant at $100,000. Records of operation and maintenance expenses indicate thefollowing average expenses per year as a function of the age of the ESP. The MVs of the ESP arealso reasonably well known as a function of age. Data graph in image attached. Determine the best time to replace the ESP if the MARR is 15% per year.
A process plant making 5000kg /day of a product selling for $1.75 per kg has annual directproduction costs of $2 million at 100 percent capacity and other fixed costs of $700,000. What isthe fixed charge per kg at the break-even point? If the selling price of the product is increased by10 percent, what is the dollar increase in net profit at full capacity if the income tax rate is 35percent of gross earnings?
. A young mechanical engineer is considering establishing his own small company. An investment of P400,000 will be required which will be recovered in 15 years. It is estimated that sales will be P800,000 per year and that operating expenses will be as follows. Materials P160,000 per year Labor P280,000 per year Overhead P40,000 +10% of sales per year Selling expense P60,000 The man will give u his regular job paying P216, 000 per year and devote full time to the operation of the business; this will result in decreasing labor cost by P40,000 per year, material cost by P28,000 per year and overhead cost by P32,000 per year. If the man expects to earn at least 20% of his capital, should he invest?

Hajia Timber Ltd (GTL) produces and exports lumber and planks. It owns a plant whichhas value of GHC 1,800,000 as at 1 January 2010. The government of Ghana,passes alegislation that restricts the exportation of lumber. Consequently GTL has to reduceproduction by 40%. Cash flow forecast for the next five years included in the budgetsubmitted for management approval in January 2010 shows the following:Year Cash flows (GHC)2010 552,0002011 506,0002012 376,0002013 250,0002014 560,000The cashflow forecast for 2014 includes expected proceeds from disposal of the plant. Thecash flow projections also ignore the effects general upwards movement in prices.It is estimated that if the plant is sold in January 2010, it would realize the net proceeds ofGHC 1,320,000.
