About what percent of civil lawsuits are decided in court (nearest half percent)? You bought your house in 2001 for $400,000. Zillow currently lists its value at $475,000. A similar house would cost $550,000 to build new from the ground up today. The declared value in Section I of your HO-3 policy has stayed the same at $400,000 for the past 20 years. You replaced the roof with 40-year shingles in 2011. A large tree branch falls on your roof in a windstorm, causing $22,000 damage. How much will you be reimbursed by your insurer?

Kaleo has made up his mind—he wants a pool in the family’s backyard! He figures his kids and spouse will be thrilled. However, to cover the cost of the pool, they’ll have to pack up and live away from home for a few weeks during the summer to rent their home to vacationers. He crunched the numbers based on the following estimates. 1. Cost of pool/installation $50,000 2. Life of the pool (no salvage value) 20 years 3. Annual net cash inflows from renting (net of cash expenses for renting and pool maintenance) $6,500 4. Tax rate 23% 5. Average rate of return 8% Kaleo’s daughter, Sarah, found the above information written on a sheet of paper in his office, along with the following notes. “This is a no-brainer! We’ll recover the cost of this pool in just 7 years, even though we plan to live here until we’re old and gray, or at least as long as the pool hangs on. If we can rent our house out for just 3 weeks each year, it’ll be almost pure profit that we can put toward paying off…
Shanice bought the car for $28,430. The value of the car is predicted to depreciate to $13,590 after 5 years. 1. If Shanice keeps the car for an additional 3 years (8 years total), predict the value of the car at the end of those 3 additional years, assuming the value continues decreasing exponentially at the same rate? $ 2. The average maintenance costs on the car are expected to be $350 the year it is purchased and increase by $50 each year after that. Use this to predict the total maintenance costs during the 3 years after the loan is paid off.
Online Educators (OE), a not-for-profit firm exempt from taxes, is considering replacement of some electronic equipment associated with its distance learning (DL) facility. It spent $100,000 on the equipment 3 years ago and has depreciated it to a current book value of $40,000. Its end-of year O&M costs are $9,000 per year. Today’s newer technology, including high definition digital TV, has a price tag of $125,000 and, after some negotiation, OE negotiates a price of either (1) $108,000 in cash or (2) $91,000 in cash plus the current equipment as a trade-in. OE checked around and determined it could do no better by selling the soon-to-be obsolete equipment to someone else. OE will use a 5-year planning horizon. If the newer equipment is purchased, it will have end-of-year O&M costs of $8,000 and a salvage value of $20,000 at that time. If the old equipment is retained, it will have to be supplemented in years 3, 4, and 5 by leasing a hi-def add-on unit costing $30,000 per year…
Rich Uncle is getting on in years and no longer can safely navigate the stairs in his beautiful three-story (plus basement) mansion.

A real estate photographer would like to invest in a drone camera so that she can take better aerial footage of properties. The drone will cost $1,400 and be used for the next 2 years before she needs to upgrade to a more recent model. She estimates that the drone will generate additional photography revenue of $1,000 per year, and that her drone will have a salvage value of $300 at the end of the 2nd year. Assuming a tax rate of 22%, a MACRS 5-vear property class, 100% bonus depreciation, and an after-tax MARR of 9%, compute the after-tax present worth of the drone and determine whether or not the photographer should invest in this drone.

You purchased land 3 years ago for $75,000 and believe its market value is now $120,000. You are considering building a hotel on this land instead of selling it. To build the hotel, it will initially cost you $205,000, an expense that you plan to depreciate straight line over the next three years. Wells Fargo offered you a loan for $60,000 at an 8% interest rate to be repaid over the next 4 years. You anticipate that the hotel will earn revenues of $334,000 each year, while expenses will be a mere $75,000 each year. The initial working capital requirement will be $14,000 which will be recovered in the last year. The tax rate is 28%. Your estimated cost of capital is 15%. What is the net present value of this project? $186,089.94 $80,929.67 $192,149.88 $831,000.00 $139,666.75
