On January 1, 2020, the City of Hastings creates a solid waste landfill that it expects to reach capacity gradually over the next 20years.

Of these totals, the city must pay $63,900 on December 31 of each year for preliminary closure work.At the end of 2020, the landfill reaches 4 percent of capacity. At the end of 2021, the landfill reaches 18 percent of capacity. At the endof 2021, a reassessment is made. Experts determine total closure costs will be $1.85 million rather than $1.65 million.a.

The college is considering funding options for new engineering building on campus. The money has been raised for the construction costs and now the focus is raising funds for the annual upkeep and maintenance (U&M) expenses. For this building, contractors will be hired with a series of 3-year agreements over the 30 years. Under each contract the university will pay $125,000 at the beginning of each 3-year agreement to cover all U&M building expenses over that 3-year period. The first 3-year agreement begins when the building opens. A wealthy alumnus (you one day) has agreed to donate enough at the building opening to cover the U&M expenses over the 30- year term. If money invested by the school's engineering foundation earns 6% interest compounded quarterly, how much must be donated.

A regional municipality is studying a water supply plan for its tri-city and surrounding area to the end of year 2080. To satisfy the water demand, one suggestion is to construct a pipeline from a major lake some distance away. Construction would start at the beginning of 2030 and take five years at a cost of $15 million per year. The cost of maintenance and repairs starts after completion of construction and for the first year is $2 million, increasing by 2 percent per year thereafter. At an interest rate of 8 percent, what is the present worth of this project? Assume all cash flows take place at year-end. Consider the present to be the end of 2025/beginning of 2026. Assume there is no salvage value at the end of year 2080.
Rare Agri-Products Ltd. is considering a new project with a projected life of seven (7) years.
