Sheridan Flight Academy acquired a new site for its training operations. The company was able to find a small unused airport with an updated runway and hangar that could be used to accommodate a flight simulator, small aircraft, and classrooms. The location was ideal as it was close to the city centre with a large population base from which to attract students. Sheridan paid $6.30 million to acquire the site. Prior to providing financing for the purchase, the bank required that an appraisal be completed of the property. The evaluation appraisal report came back with the following estimated market values: land $3,370,140, building $2,433,990, and land improvements $436,870. Sheridan management explained, to the bank's satisfaction, that it paid the $59,000 premium because of the property's proximity to the city centre and access to a large population base from which to draw students. (a1) Allocate the $6.30-million purchase price to the land, building, and land improvements.

A company owns land and a building that houses its manufacturing operations. When the company purchased the manufacturing facility 10 years ago, the purchase price allocated to the land account was $120,000. The manufacturing facility is located in an area that was once the site of many factories.

A civil engineer who owns his own design/build/operate company purchased a small crane 3 years ago at a cost of $65,000. At that time, it was expected to be used for 10 years and then traded in for its salvage value of $10,000. Due to increased construction activities, the company would prefer to trade for a new, larger crane now, which will cost $80,000. The company estimates that the old crane can be used, if necessary, for another 3 years, at which time it would have a $17,000 estimated market value. Its current market value is estimated to be $29,000, and if it is used for another 3 years, it will have M&O costs (exclusive of operator costs) of $17,000 per year. Determine the values of P, n, S, and AOC that should be used for the existing crane in a replacement analysis. The value of P is $ . The value of n is years. The value of S is $ . The AOC value is $ per year.
