Civil engineering consulting firms that provide services to outlying communities are vulnerable to a number of factors that affect the financial condition of the communities, such as bond issues, real estate developments, etc. A small consulting firm entered into a fixed- price contract with a spec home builder, resulting in a stable income of $350,000 per year in years 1 through 5. At the end of that time, a mild recession slowed the development, so the parties signed another contract for $155,000 per year for 4 more years. Determine the present worth of the two contracts at an interest rate of 7% per year. The present worth of the two contracts is determined to be $

Citation Builders, Incorporated, builds office buildings and single-family homes. The office buildings are constructed under contract with reputable buyers. The homes are constructed in developments ranging from 10-20 homes and are typically sold during construction or soon after. To secure the home upon completion, buyers must pay a deposit of 10% of the price of the home with the remaining balance due upon completion of the house and transfer of title. Failure to pay the full amount results in forfeiture of the down payment. Occasionally, homes remain unsold for as long as three months after construction. In these situations, sales price reductions are used to promote the sale. During 2024, Citation began construction of an office building for Altamont Corporation. The total contract price is $10 million. Costs incurred, estimated costs to complete at year-end, billings, and cash collections for the life of the contract are as follows: Costs incurred during the year Estimated costs…
The production manager on the Ofon Phase 2 offshore platform operated by Total S.A. must purchase specialized environmental equipment or an equivalent service. The first cost is $250,000 with an AOC of $66,000. The manager has let it be known that he does not care about the salvage value because he thinks it will make no difference in the decision-making process. His supervisor estimates the salvage might be as high as $100,000 or as low as $10,000 in 3 years, at which time the equipment will be unnecessary. Alternatively, a subcontractor can provide the service for $165,000 per year. The total offshore project MARR is 13% per year. Determine if the decision to buy the equipment is sensitive to the salvage value. The annual worth of high salvage value is $______________ 142,525 incorrect..

The company DstriBut.inc decides to take a technological shift by replacing its old distribution center with a new one that is more oriented towards technology and less dependent on manpower. The entire installation is estimated at $6,000,000 amortized at the rate of 30% decreasing. An immediate expense of $30,000 (taxable and non-depreciable) is planned to ensure the training of the personnel who will operate on the new installations. This investment creates a working capital requirement of $400,000, fully recoverable. The company estimates to increase its operating cash flow by $1,500,000 before tax. On the other hand, the company must assume an expense for the maintenance and replacement of consumable components of new installations in the amount of $50,000 every 2 years. This investment will have a residual value of $2,500,000 at the end of the investment horizon, which is set at 5 years by senior management. The tax rate is 40% and the rate of return required by senior management…
In 2016, the city of Abu Dhabi collected $24 million in fines from motorists because of traffic violations caught by red-light cameras. The cost of operating the system was $14.5 million. The net profit, that is, profit after operating costs, is split equally (that is, 50% each) between the city and the operator of the camera system. What will be the rate of return over a 3-year period to the contractor that paid for, installed, and operates the system, if its initial cost was $10 million and the profit for each of the 3 years is the same as it was in 2016? Should the company invest in this project at MARR of 15% per year?
A factory has a flooding probability of 1% per year. When flooded, the factory will suffer 500,000 EUR in material damages. The existing insurance will certainly cover the material damages, a deductible of 20% will however apply. When flooded the factory will suffer another 500,000 EUR in opportunity cost of lost production time, which are not covered by insurance. A local plumbing firm has made an offer of installing a pump that would avoid this flooding and costs 5,000 EUR per year. Your boss asks you if this is a good idea?

A growing city of 60,000 has an intersection near the south end of the main business district. The north-south street has no traffic control at that intersection, and the east-west intersecting street has only stop signs.There have been a few accidents in recent years and it has been estimated that a traffic light can provide benefits of $55,000 per year in reduced property loss and disabling injuries, increasing by $2,500 per year.The disbenefits of the traffic light include cost of fuel and time delays, amounting to an estimated $24,000 per year, increasing by $2,000 per year. The installation cost of the traffic light is estimated to be $120,000 with maintenance and electricity running $6,000 in the first year and increasing by $300 per year over a time horizon of 10 years. It is anticipated that the intersection will need to be redesigned at that time and the traffic light removed and sold to a nearby small community for a net salvage value of $4,000. The discount rate is 7%. Is…
