The City of San Antonio is considering various options for providing water in its 50-year plan, including desalting. One brackish aquifer is expected to yield desalted water that will generate revenue of $4.1 million per year for the first 4 years, after which less production will decrease revenue by 10% per year each year. If the aquifer will be totally depleted in 23 years, what is the present worth of the desalting option revenue at an interest rate of 6% per year? The present worth of the desalting option revenue at an interest rate of 6% per year is determined to be $
Early in its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, San Antonio Outfitters finalized plans to expand operations. The first stage was completed on March 28 with the purchase of a tract of land on the outskirts of the city. The land and existing building were purchased by paying $380,000 immediately and signing a noninterest-bearing note requiring the company to pay $780,000 on March 28, 2026. An interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money for this type of loan agreement. Title search, insurance, and other closing costs totaling $38,000 were paid at closing. At the end of April, the old building was demolished at a cost of $88,000, and an additional $68,000 was paid to clear and grade the land. Construction of a new building began on May 1 and was completed on October 29. Construction expenditures were as follows: May 1 $ 3,900,000 July 30 2,400,000 September 1 1,980,000 October 1 2,880,000 San Antonio borrowed $6,300,000 at 8% on May 1 to help finance…

In 2020, Crane Contractors began construction on an office building. The building was expected to cost $46,310,000 in total, and was expected to be completed in early 2022. The customer was to pay Crane $48,760,000 for the building. Crane was able to use percentage-of-completion accounting for the project, and at the end of 2020 had accumulated $11,577,500 in cost. Crane estimated that the costs to complete the construction were in line with the original expected total costs. During 2021, there was a lumber shortage, a strike by construction workers, and various other incidents that dramatically raised costs in the construction industry. As a result, at the end of 2021, Crane estimated that the office building would cost $4,780,000 in total. To the end of 2021, Crane had spent $38,828,400 on constructing the office building. Calculate the revenue to be recognized by Crane for the 2021 fiscal year. Revenue to be recognized $ $24,867,600 Prepare the journal entry to record revenue,…
