The city council has approved the building of a new bridge over Running Water Creek. The bridge will cost $17,000 for initial construction and have an annual maintenance cost of $1,000. The council plans to withdraw money from the city’s Bridges and Highways account to open a special account to cover the initial construction and to fund a perpetuity to cover the maintenance costs forever. How much money must be withdrawn from the Bridges and Highways account if the city can expect to earn 5% on the special account? a. $1,000 b. $17,000 c. $18,000 d. $37,000.
An aircraft hangar requires a new high-efficiency HVAC system for environmental control and reducing
heating and cooling expenses. The cost of the HVAC system is $5.0 million, and the annual savings are
expected to be $400,000. The useful life of the HVAC system is 20 years, and its residual value is zero.
a) What is the simple payback period?
b) What is the internal rate of return? (Note: You can use the tables in the book or Excel to find the
IRR, but in either case show work and/or cut & paste a spreadsheet. If using the tables an
approximate answer will be acceptable)
