Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce
garden tools. The company bought some land 8 years ago for $6,949,083 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 $3,896,729. An
engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of $891,638, 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 $5,799,940 million to build, and the site requires $718,848
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?
