Home Properties is developing a subdivision that includes 410 home lots. The 180 lots in the Canyon section are below a ridge and do not have views of the neighboring canyons and hills; the 230 lots in the Hilltop section offer unobstructed views. The expected selling price for each Canyon lot is $47,000 and for each Hilltop lot is $96,000. The developer acquired the land for $2,400,000 and spent another $1,200,000 on street and utilities improvements. Assign the joint land and improvement costs of $3,600,000 to the Canyon section and the Hilltop section using the value basis of allocation. Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.

The Ocean City water park is considering the purchase of a new log flume ride. The cost to purchase the equipment is $8,000,000, and it will cost an additional $475,000 to have it installed. The equipment has an expected life of 6 years, and it will be depreciated using a MACRS 7-year class life. Management expects to run about 150 rides per day, with each ride averaging 35 riders. The season will last for 120 days per year. In the first year, the ticket price per rider is expected to be $5.25, and it will be increased by 4% per year. The variable cost per rider will be $1.65, and total fixed costs will be $525,000 per year. After six years, the ride will be dismantled at a cost of $245,000 and the parts will be sold for $600,000. The cost of capital is 8.5%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Using Goal Seek, calculate the minimum ticket price that must be charged in the first year in order to make the project acceptable.

1. The Luna Corporation is trying to decide if they should purchase a Truck for hauling material which costs $625,400. The Truck will require $30,600 of working capital and major maintenance in years 3, year 5, and year 7. The major maintenance will cost $50,000 in years 3 and 5 and $65,000 in years 7. The truck will increase the net income by $185,750 in years 1 through 4, and $91,250 in years 5 through 7. At the end of year 7, the company expects to sell the truck for 5% of the cost that they paid for it. Calculate the net present value of the Truck using a 10% rate of return. Show your work and indicate if the Luna Corporation should purchase the Truck. PLEASE PUT IN SIMPLEST FORM

The Campbell Company is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new milling machine. The machine’s base price is $108,000, and it would cost another $12, 500 to modify it for special use by your firm. The machine will be sold after three years for $65,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33 percent, 45 percent, 15 percent, and 7 percent. The machine would require an increase in net operating working capital (inventory) of $5,500. The machine would have no effect on revenues, but is expected to save the firm $44,000 per year in before tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell’s marginal tax rate is 35 percent.

The city of Columbia is considering extending the runways of its municipal airport so that commercial jets can use the facility. The land necessary for the runway extension is currently a farmland that can be purchased for $350,000. Construction costs for the runway extension are projected to be $600,000, and the additional annual maintenance costs for the extension are estimated to be $22,500. If the runways are extended, a small terminal will be constructed at a cost of $250,000. The annual operating and maintenance costs for the terminal are estimated at $75,000. Finally, the projected increase in flights will require the addition of two air traffic controllers at an annual cost of $100,000. Annual benefits of the runway extension have been estimated as follows (shown): Apply the B–C ratio method with a study period of 20 years and a MARR of 10% per year to determine whether the runways at Columbia Municipal Airport should be extended.
Letang Industrial Systems Company (LISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $335,000, has a four-year life, and requires $129,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $415,000, has a six-year life, and requires $123,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value. Whichever project is chosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out. The tax rate is 24 percent and the discount rate is 9 percent. Calculate the NPV for both conveyor belt systems. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) System A System B
Washington County’s Board of Representatives is considering the construction of a longer runway at the county airport. Currently, the airport can handle only private aircraft and small commuter jets. A new, long runway would enable the airport to handle the midsize jets used on many domestic flights. Data pertinent to the board’s decision appear below. Cost of acquiring additional land for runway $ 70,000 Cost of runway construction 200,000 Cost of extending perimeter fence 29,840 Cost of runway lights 39,600 Annual cost of maintaining new runway 28,000 Annual incremental revenue from landing fees 40,000 In addition to the preceding data, two other facts are relevant to the decision. First, a longer runway will require a new snowplow, which will cost $100,000. The old snowplow could be sold now for $10,000. The new, larger plow will cost $12,000 more in annual operating costs. Second, the County Board of Representatives believes that the…
Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 12 years ago for $3,776,276 in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $3,278,390. An engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of $748,629, and her conclusion was that the land can support the new manufacturing facility. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $5,555,713 million to build, and the site requires $1,384,583 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?
Hagar Industrial Systems Company (HISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $325,000, has a 4-year life, and requires $121,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $405,000, has a 6-year life, and requires $115,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value. Suppose the company always needs a conveyor belt system; when one wears out, it must be replaced. Assume the tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent. Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new 3-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.29 million. The fixed asset falls into the 3-year MACRS class (MACRS schedule). The project is estimated to generate $1,810,000 in annual sales, with costs of $700,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $450,000, and the fixed asset will have a market…
