A new solid waste treatment plant is to be constructed in Washington County. The initial installation will cost $35 million (M). After 10 years, minor repair and renovation (R&R) will occur at a cost of $14M will be required; after 20 years, a major R&R costing $20M will be required. The investment pattern will repeat every 20 years. Each year during the 20-year period, operating and maintenance (O&M) costs will occur. The first year, O&M costs will total $2M. Thereafter, O&M costs will increase at a compound rate of 4% per year. Based on a 4% MARR, what is the capitalized cost for the solid waste treatment plant?
Computer-Aided Machining Company plans to invest in a state- of-the-art 5-axis machining center with invoice price of $450,000, freight of $25,000, site preparation $40,000, and installation costs of $35,000. The project also requires special tooling costing $50,000. The machining center has an expected life of ten years and the tooling only 5 years so tooling replacement is needed after the fifth year. The machining center is a 7-year depreciable asset and the tooling is a 3-year class. After it's useful life, the machining center is salvaged for $50,000 and the tooling is scrapped for $1500. The company expects to increase its annual production revenues by $400,000 with associated annual production costs of $45,000 direct materials, $75,000 direct labor, and $37,500 manufacturing overhead. Taxes are assessed at a 35% rate on taxable income. The company has decided to take an eight-year loan of $300,000 at 6% to help defray cash outlay and to establish working capital of $70,000. a)…
Budget Hardware Consultants purchased a building for $800,000 and depreciated it on a straight-line basis over a 35-year period. The estimated residual value is $100,000. After using the building for 15 years, Budget realized that wear and tear on the building would wear it out before 35 years and that the estimated residual value should be $88,000. Starting with the 16th year, Budget began depreciating the building over a revised total life of 20 years using the new residual value. Journalize depreciation expense on the building for years 15 and 16. (Record debits first, then credits. Select the explanation on the last line of the journal entry table.) Begin by journalizing the depreciation on the building for year 15. Date Accounts and Explanation Debit Credit
The Drilling Corp. owns drilling rights on a tract of land on which crude oil has been discovered. The BBTD projects that the tract will allow drilling and recovery on crude for the next 4 years. They anticipate the following cost associated with the project including the cost of restoring the land to a park-like atmosphere. Below are projected data associated with this project: Annual cash receipts of $50,000 Annual cash expenses of $300,000 Equipment requirements of $500,000. Some of this equipment will be sold for $20,000 at the conclusion of the lease. The remainder of the equipment will have no salvage value at the end of the project and will be abandoned, adding to the rustic park-like atmosphere of the property. Inventory and supplies necessary to begin and maintain the project are $40,000 The cost of restoring the land to a pristine park-like setting and converting the drilling equipment into monkey bars is projected to be $100,000.

The cost associated with maintaining rural highways follows a predictable pattern. There are usually no costs for the first 3 years, but thereafter maintenance is required for restriping, weed control, light replacement, shoulder repairs, etc. For one section of state highway S102, these costs are projected to be $6000 in year 3, $7000 in year 4, and amounts increasing by $1000 per year through the highway’s expected 30-year life. (a) Assuming it is replaced with a similar roadway, determine the perpetual equivalent annual cost (years 1 to ∞) at an interest rate of 8% per year. (b) Verify your factor-based answer on a spreadsheet in the most efficient way you know.
