Chapter 11, Problem 11AP
Landover Corporation is looking for a larger office building to house its expanding operations. It is considering two alternatives. The first is a newly constructed building at a cost of $6 million. It would require only minor modifications to meet Landover’s needs, at an estimated cost of $500,000. The second building was constructed in 1910 and is a certified historic structure. It could be purchased for $3 million but would require an additional $4 million in renovations to be suitable for Landover.
- a. Calculate Landover’s allowable rehabilitation credit if it chooses to purchase and renovate the certified historic structure, and the after-tax purchase price of the building. Assume Landover would claim the credit ratably over years 0 through 4. Landover uses a 4 percent discount rate to calculate present value.
- b. Based on your analysis, which building should Landover acquire?
- c. How might your analysis and conclusion change if Landover is currently experiencing net operating losses and does not expect to pay regular tax for several years?

Kenny, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park. The company bought some land six years ago for $8.7 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere. The land would net $11.5 million if it were sold today. The company now wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $22.7 million to build, and the site requires $1,020,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction.
What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?

Kenny, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park. The company bought some land six years ago for $5.3 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere. The land would net $7.7 million if it were sold today. The company now wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $29.3 million to build, and the site requires $1.41 million worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.)
America Inc., is considering the addition of a new maintenance services division. Opening the division will require a new building, staff, and equipment. The proposed plan involves purchasing land that is currently selling for $750,000. The price of constructing the building on this land is $4.5 million and should be finished before operations begin in year 1. The building will be depreciated straight-line to a book value of $500,000 over 20 years. New equipment will cost $200,000 upfront, and will be depreciated straight line to zero over 4 years. An HR team will need to be brought on for hiring new staff. They estimate that the upfront cost of hiring will be $210,000. In addition, a sales forecast has already been formed for the project and the incurred fee for this service is $90,000. The team forecasts sales of $900,000, $800,000, $600,000, and $300,000 for years 1 through 4 respectively. In each year, inventory equal to one tenth of the current year’s revenue will be required.…

- Friedman Company is considering installing a new IT system. The cost of the new system is estimated to be 2,250,000, but it would produce after-tax savings of 450,000 per year in labor costs. The estimated life of the new system is 10 years, with no salvage value expected. Intrigued by the possibility of saving 450,000 per year and having a more reliable information system, the president of Friedman has asked for an analysis of the projects economic viability. All capital projects are required to earn at least the firms cost of capital, which is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the projects internal rate of return. Should the company acquire the new IT system? 2. Suppose that savings are less than claimed. Calculate the minimum annual cash savings that must be realized for the project to earn a rate equal to the firms cost of capital. Comment on the safety margin that exists, if any. 3. Suppose that the life of the IT system is overestimated by two years. Repeat Requirements 1 and 2 under this assumption. Comment on the usefulness of this information.arrow_forwardTalbot Industries is considering launching a new product.

- Home Garden Inc. is considering the construction of a distribution warehouse in West Virginia to service its east coast stores based on the following estimates: a. Determine the net present value of building the warehouse, assuming a construction cost of 20,000,000, an annual net cost savings of 4,000,000, and a desired rate of return of 14%. Use the present value tables provided in Appendix A. b.

Recently, the company has decided to locate another store in a rapidly growing area of Maryland. The company is trying to decide whether to purchase or lease the building and related facilities. Purchase: The company can purchase the site, construct the building, and purchase all store fixtures. The cost would be $1,850,000. An immediate down payment of $400,000 is required, and the remaining $1,450,000 would be paid off over 5 years at $350,000 per year (including interest payments made at end of year). The property is expected to have a useful life of 12 years, and then it will be sold for $500,000. As the owner of the property, the company will have the following out-of-pocket expenses each period. Property taxes (to be paid at the end of each year) $40,000 Insurance (to be paid at the beginning of each year) 27,000 Other (primarily maintenance which occurs at the end of each year) 16,000…arrow_forwardGranger, a division of a company, is considering a five-year investment opportunity which will require building a new factory which will cost £3.2 million and which will have scrap value of £0.5m. Granger has undertaken a survey to determine whether land it currently owns will be suitable land on which to build the factory. The survey cost £150,000. The land currently contains a building which will have to be demolished at a cost of £230,000 if the company decides to go ahead with the project. The current building is rented out on a five-year contract by Granger to Black, another division of the same company, at an annual rent of £110,000. If Granger goes ahead with the project, Black will rent a building from another company at the same cost. If Granger builds the factory it expects sales of £1.1 million next year and expects the sales receipts to increase by 5% per year after the first year due to inflation. This estimate of sales is the result of market research which cost Granger…arrow_forward
