Treetop Associated Group (TAG) is seeking financing for acquisition and development of 147 homesites. The land will cost $1.5 million, and TAG estimates direct development costs to be an additional $2.7 million. City Federal Bank will make a loan covering 40 percent of the land acquisition cost, 100 percent of direct improvement cost, and interest carry at 11 percent interest with a 3 percent loan origination fee. TAG has decided to split the development into two parcel types, standard and deluxe, with the standard parcels comprising 87 of the 147 total homesites. Also, TAG thinks that the deluxe sites will be priced at a $2,000 premium over the standard parcel price of $36,000. The total project revenue will be $5,412,000. After making a 60 percent down payment for the land and incurring closing costs of $50,000, TAG believes that the remaining development costs will be drawn down at $600,000 a month for the first three months and $300,000 a month for the next three months.

orangutan Corp purchases land worth $2,500,000 to be developed into lottle home lots. The lots will be allocated into one of three categories: lakefront, lakeview, and standard. Lakeside expects that half of the little home lots will be lakefront and sell for $26,000, 30% are lakeview and sell for $10,000 and the remaining lots are priced at $4,500 each. The tract of land is expected to produce 300 lots. Instructions a) Using the relative sales value method calculate the total the inventory value that should be assigned to each category of lots. b) Assume that by the end of year one Lakeside has sold all of its lakefront and lakeview lots. What is the company's gross profit?
Heart & Home Properties is developing a subdivision that includes 600 home lots.

The developer acquired the land for $4,000,000 and spent another $3,500,000 on street and utilities improvements. Assign the joint land and improvement costs to the lots using the value basis of allocation and determine the average cost per lot.

A city that operates automobile parking facilities is evaluating a proposal toerect and operate a structure for parking in its downtown area. Three designs for a facility to be built on available sites have been identified as follows, where all dollar figures are in thousands: At the end of the estimated service life, the selected facility would be torn down and the land would be sold. It is estimated that the proceeds from the resale of the land will be equal to the cost of clearing the site. If the city's interest rate is known to be 10%, which design alternative would be selected on the basis of the benefit-cost criterion?
The city of Oak Ridge is evaluating three mutually exclusive landscaping plans for refurbishing a public greenway. Benefits to the community have been estimated by a landscaping committee, and the costs of planting trees and shrubbery, as well as maintaining the greenway, are summarized below. The city’s cost of capital is 8% per year, and the planning horizon is 10 years. Which landscaping plan will you recommend based on B/C ratio analysis? Landscaping plan A B C Initial planning cost $75,000 $50,000 $65,000 Annual maintenance expense 4,000 5,000 4,700 Annual community benefits 20,000 18,000 20,000
A “greenway” walking trail has been proposed by the city of Richmond. Two mutually exclusive alternative locations for the 2-meter-wide trail have been proposed: one is on flat terrain and is 14 kilometers in length, and the other is in hilly terrain and is 12 kilometers in length. Planning and site preparation cost is 20% of the asphalt-paving cost, which is $3.00 per square meter. Annual maintenance for the flat terrain trail is 5% of thepaving cost, and annual maintenance for the hilly trail is 8% of the paving cost. If the city’sMARR is 6% per year and perpetual life of the trail is assumed, which trail should be recommended to minimize the capitalized cost of this project?
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 $125,000, a life of 8 years, a $5000 salvage value, an operating cost of $40 per day, and an annual maintenance cost of $2000. 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 $20 per day per dumpster. An estimated 45 construction sites will need debris storage throughout the average year. If the minimum attractive rate of return is 12% per year, how many days per year must the equipment be required to justify its purchase?
