Aero Motorcycles is considering opening a new manufacturing facility in Fort Worth to meet demand for a new line of solar charged motorcycles (who wants to ride on a cloudy day anyway?) The proposed project has the following features; • The firm just spent $300,000 for marketing study to determine consumer demand (@ t=0). • Aero Motorcycles purchased the land the factory will be built on 5 years ago for $2,000,000 and owns it outright (that is, it does not have a mortgage). The land has a current market value of $2,600,000. • The project has an initial cost of $20,902,178 (excluding land, hint: land is not subject to depreciation). • If the project is undertaken, the company will realize an additional $8,000,000 in sales over each of the next ten years. (i.e. sales in each year are $8,000,000) • The company’s operating cost (not including depreciation) will equal 50% of sales. • The company’s tax rate is 35 percent. • Use a 10-year straight-line depreciation…

The cost of grading and spreading gravel on a curvy rural road is expected to be $300,000. The road will have to be maintained at a cost of $24,000 per year. Even though the new road is not very smooth, it allows access to an area that previously could only be reached with off-road vehicles. The improved accessibility has led to a 198 % increase in the property values along the road. If the previous market value of the property was $900,000, calculate the conventional B/C ratio using an interest rate of 6% per year and a 20-year study period. The conventional B/C ratio is

The following data applies for example problems 8.1 through 8.3. A company is considering the purchase of either machine A or machine B. machine A machine B initial cost $80,000 20 years $20,000 $18,000 per year $100,000 25 years $25,000 $15,000 per year for the first 15 years $20,000 per year for the next 10 years estimated life salvage value other costs The interest rate is 10%, and all cash flows may be treated as end-of-year cash flows. Assume that equivalent annual cost is the value of the constant annuity equal to the total cost of a project. The equivalent annual cost of machine B is most nearly (A) $21,000 (B) $21,500 (C) $23,000 (D) $26,500
Batelco Inc. is considering two mutually exclusive projects A and B. Each project requires an initial investment as presented in the below table. The economic life of the project A will be 6-Year's and Project B will be 5 years, and both projects carry same risk, Batelco Inc uses a discount rate of 12%. After considering the current economic situation Batelco Inc. has set a maximum payback period of 4 years and minimum return on investment (ROI) 18%.

Suppose a small business owner is considering expanding their operations and requires additional capital to fund the expansion. The business currently has an annual revenue of $500,000 and incurs operating expenses of $350,000 per year. The owner estimates that the expansion project will generate an additional annual revenue of $200,000 and will require an annual operating expense of $120,000. The interest rate for a business loan is 6% per annum. Calculate the following: The net benefit (net revenue) from the expansion project. The maximum amount of loan the business owner should consider taking to finance the expansion, assuming they want to maximize their net benefit. Note: You can assume that all revenues and expenses occur at the end of the year, and the loan repayment will be done in equal annual installments over a specific period.
