Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 5 years ago for $7,385,474 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 $3,944,875. An engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of $617,920, 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 $5,838,309 to build, and the site requires $994,648 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?
Coronado Skateboards is considering building a new plant. David Al-Saigh, the company's marketing manager, is an enthusiastic supporter of the new plant. Jennifer Miller, the company's chief financial officer, is not so sure that the plant is a good idea. Currently, the company purchases its skateboards from foreign manufacturers. The following figures were estimated for the construction of a new plant: Cost of plant Annual cash inflows Annual cash outflows Estimated useful life Salvage value Discount rate $6,360,000 $6,360,000 $5,883,000 15 years $1,060,000 David believes that these figures understate the true potential value of the plant. He suggests that by manufacturing its own skateboards the company will benefit from a "buy Canadian" patriotism. He also notes that the firm has had numerous quality problems with the skateboards manufactured by its suppliers. He suggests that the inconsistent quality has resulted in lost sales, increased warranty claims, and some costly lawsuits.…

The city is installing a new swimming pool in the east end recreation centre. One design being considered is a reinforced concrete pool that will cost $5000000 to install. Thereafter, the inner surface of the pool will need to be refinished and painted every 10 years at a cost of $450000 per refinishing. Assuming that the pool will have essentially an infinite life, what is the present worth of the costs associated with the pool design? The city uses a MARR of 6%. Review the following table and calculate the present worth of the project for a +5% change in refinishing costs. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Parameter Construction Costs Refinishing Costs MARR [%] -10% -5% Base Case +5% +10% $5000000 $450000 6 Present Worth of -10% -5% 0% +5% Costs +10% Changes to Construction Costs Changes to refinishing Costs Changes to MARR ????? ?
Arnold Inc. is considering a proposal to manufacture high-end protein bars used as food supplements by body builders. The project requires use of an existing warehouse, which the firm acquired three years ago for $3 million and which it currently rents out for $101,000. Rental rates are not expected to change going forward. In addition to using the warehouse, the project requires an upfront investment into machines and other equipment of $1.5 million. This investment can be fully depreciated straight-line over the next 10 years for tax purposes. However, Arnold Inc. expects to terminate the project at the end of eight years and to sell the machines and equipment for $468,000. Finally, the project requires an initial investment into net working capital equal to 10 percent of predicted first-year sales. Subsequently, net working capital is 10 percent of the predicted sales over the following year. Sales of protein bars are expected to be $4.5 million in the first year and to stay…

Cullumber Roofing is faced with a decision. The company relies very heavily on the use of its 60-foot extension lift for work on large homes and commercial properties. Last year, Cullumber Roofing spent $67,200 refurbishing the lift. It has just determined that another $31,000 of repair work is required. Alternatively, it has found a newer used lift that is for sale for $132,500. The company estimates that both lifts would have useful lives of 5 years. The new lift is more efficient and thus would reduce operating expenses from $93,000 to $70,600 each year. Cullumber Roofing could also rent out the new lift for about $8,000 per year. The old lift is not suitable for rental. The old lift could currently be sold for $19,500 if the new lift is purchased. The new lift and old lift are estimated to have salvage values of zero if used for another 5 years.Prepare an incremental analysis showing whether the company should repair or replace the equipment. (Enter negative amounts using either a…
