Kelly's Corner Bakery purchased a lot in Oil City 6 years ago at a cost of $302,000. Today, that lot has a market value of $340,000. At the time of the purchase, the company spent $15,000 to level the lot and another $20,000 to install storm drains. The company now wants to build a new facility on that site. The building cost is estimated at $1.51 million. What amount should be used as the initial cash flow for this project?
A contractor has purchased a wheel loader for $115,000 and plans to use it 2,000 hours per year. The cost of one set of tires is $25,000. At this usage rate, the contractor anticipates disposing of the loader after using it for 10 years and realizing an salvage value of $35,000. The flywheel horsepower rating of the loader's diesel engine is 105 horsepower. The loader operator will earn $34.00 per hour including fringe benefits, and diesel fuel costs $1.20 per gallon. The interest rate is 10%. How much is the hourly equipment repair cost if annual cost of repairs equals 70% of straight line depreciation?
Please don't answer in handwritten..thanku
A city plans to upgrade its storm water management infrastructure by installing new
pipes. The installation costs 2.7 million dollars and the annual maintenance cost is
$27,000. Every 8 years, the system needs to be fully examined which requires a fixed
management and material cost of $20,000 and a variable labor cost at the rate of $27/hr.
20 full time (working 8 hours per day) workers will be employed for 80 days for this task.
If the infrastructure has a life time of 96 years and the city's interest rate is 7%,
(Please round your answer to two decimal places at the million level for both
questions, e.g. '1.23' millions)
a. what is the capitalized worth of the project (in millions)? Please note that the value

- Alfred Home Construction is considering the purchase of five dumpsters and the transport truck to store and transfer construction debris from building sites. The entire rig is estimated to have an initial cost of $145,000, a life of 8 years, a $13500 salvage value, an operating cost of $40 per day, and an annual maintenance cost of $11000. Alternatively, Alfred can obtain the same services from the city as needed at each construction site for an initial delivery cost of $125 per dumpster per site and a daily charge of $26 per day per dumpster. An estimated 26 construction sites will need debris storage throughout the average year.

The existing grinder was purchased two years ago at an installed cost of $60,000; it was being depreciated under MACRS, using a five year recovery period. The existing grinder is expected to have a usable life of five more years. The new grinder has a cost of $105,000 and requires $5,000 in installation costs; it has a five year usable life and would be depreciated under MACRS, using a five year recovery period. Sampson can currently sell the existing grinder for $70,000 without incurring any removal and cleanup costs. To support theincreased business resulting from the purchase of the new grinder, accounts receivable would increase by $40,000, inventories by $30,000 and accounts payable by $58,000. At the end of five years, the existing grinder would have a market value of zero; the new grinder would be sold to net $29,000 after removal and clean up costs and before…arrow_forwardThe chief ranger of the state's Department of Natural Resources is considering a new plan for fighting forest fires in the state's forest lands. The current plan uses eight fire-control stations, which are scattered throughout the Interior of the state forest. Each station has a four-person staff, whose annual compensation totals $250,000. Other costs of operating each base amount to $150,000 per year. The equipment at each base has a current salvage value of $170,000. The buildings at these interior stations have no other use. To demolish them would cost $15,000 each. The chief ranger is considering an alternative plan, which involves four fire-control stations located on the perimeter of the state forest. Each station would require a six-person staff, with annual compensation costs of $350,000. Other operating costs would be $160,000 per base. Building each perimeter station would cost $250,000. The perimeter bases would need helicopters and other equipment costing $550,000 per…arrow_forward
- A granary has two options for a conveyor used in the manufacture of grain for transporting, filling, or emptying. One conveyor can be purchased and installed for $70,000 with $3,000 salvage value after 16 years. The other can be purchased and installed for $110,000 with $4,000 salvage value after 16 years. Operation and maintenance for each is expected to be $18,000 and $14,000 per year, respectively. The granary uses MACRS-GDS depreciation, has a income-tax rate of 25%, and a MARR of 9% after taxes. Comment on the differences in AWAT for each of these three analyses - Use MACRS-GDS(10) alone. Use MACRS-GDS(10) with 50% bonus depreciation.

Coyote estimates that this landfill will be in operation for five years, will cost $250 million to build, and will generate $800 million in revenues during its useful life. Federal law requires that Coyote decommission and decontaminate the site at the end of its useful life. A team of engineers has studied the decontamination procedure and has estimated that Coyote will have to spend $15 million on the decommissioning process when the landfill is shut down in five years. Coyote’s credit-adjusted rate of interest is 10%. Use tables (PV of 1, PVAD of 1, and PVOA of 1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1-a.
