The town engineer estimates that the cost of the work at the end of the first year will be $85,000. He estimates that in subsequent years the annual repair costs will decline by $10,000 making the second-year cost $75,000; the third year $65,000, and so forth. The council members want to know what the equivalent present cost is for the first 5 years of repair work if annual effective interest is 4%.
2.21 in The Public Service Board (PSB) awarded two con- tracts worth a combined $3.07 million to increase the depth of a retention basin and reconstruct a spillway that was severely damaged in a flood 2 years ago. The PSB president stated that, surpris- ingly, the bids were $1,150,000 lower than PSB engineers estimated. If the projects are assumed to have a 20-year life, what is the annual worth of the savings at an interest rate of 5% per year?
Hotel California, a lovely place along the 101 Highway, last underwent an upgrade in 1969. As a result of its dilapidated conditions, it has plenty of extra rooms. It is considering a major renovation. The construction costs of the renovation are estimated to be $1 million, payable at the end of construction. If the construction starts today, it will last one year. During the renovation, the hotel will be closed to guests (however assume that all of the hotel's expenses, such as paying staff, are unchanged due to long term contracts). Hotel California's capacity is 40 rooms and, on average, 60% of the rooms are vacant on any single day. The daily profit per occupied room is $90. The corporate tax rate is 20%, the appropriate discount rate is 9\% and renovation can be depreciated at 33.3% per year. (a) Compute the average profit per occupied room a year. Then compute the average profit for the hotel as a whole. Assume 365 days per year. (b) Suppose Hotel California decides to begin…
