The city engineer and economic development directors are evaluating two sites for construction of a multipurpose sports arena. Th sites are downtown (DT) and southwest (SW) of the metropolitan area. The city already owns enough land at the DT site; however, t land for a parking garage will cost $1 million, and construction costs will be $10 million for the parking garage, infrastructure relocati and drainage. The SW site is 30 km from downtown, but the land will be donated by a developer who knows that an arena at this si will dramatically increase the value of the remainder of his land holdings. Because of its centralized location, there will be greater attendance at most of the events held at the DT site. This will result in more revenue to vendors and local merchants in the amount $550,000 per year. Additionally, the average attendee will not have to travel as far, resulting in annual benefits of $400,000 per yea All other costs and revenues are expected to be the same at either site. If the city uses a discount rate of 7% per year, and will construct at one site or the other, which site should be selected? Use a 30-year study period. The AB/C ratio is Select site downtown

Home Properties is developing a subdivision that includes 470 home lots. The 210 lots in the Canyon section are below a ridge and do not have views of the neighboring canyons and hills; the 260 lots in the Hilltop section offer unobstructed views. The expected selling price for each Canyon lot is $43,000 and for each Hilltop lot is $101,000. The developer acquired the land for $2,400,000 and spent another $2,400,000 on street and utilities improvements. Assign the joint land and improvement costs of $4,800,000 to the Canyon section and the Hilltop section using the value basis of allocation. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

Allied Food Products is considering expanding into the fruit juice business with a new fresh lemon juiceproduct. Assume that you were recently hired as assistant to the director of capital budgeting, and youmust evaluate the new project.The lemon juice would be produced in an unused building adjacent to Allied’s Fort Myers plant; Alliedowns the building, which is fully depreciated. The required equipment would cost $450,000, plus anadditional $38,000 for shipping and installation. In addition, inventories would rise by $40,000, whileaccounts payable would increase by $10,000. All of these costs would be incurred at t = 0. By a specialruling, the machinery could be depreciated under the MACRS system as 4-year property. The applicabledepreciation rates are 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10%.The project is expected to operate for 4 years, at which time it will be terminated. The cash inflows areassumed to begin 1 year after the project is undertaken (t = 1), and to continue out to t = 4. At the endof…

The Aubey Coffee Company is evaluating the within-plant distribution system for its new roasting, grinding, and packing plant. The two alternatives are (1) a conveyor system with a high initial cost but low annual operating costs and (2) several forklift trucks, which cost less but have considerably higher operating costs. The decision to construct the plant has already been made, and the choice here will have no effect on the overall revenues of the project. The cost of capital for the plant is 12%, and the projects' expected net costs are listed in the following table: a. What is the IRR of each alternative? The IRR of alternative 1 is -Select- Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 -Select- Expected Net Cost Forklift -$200,000 -160,000 -160,000 -160,000 -160,000 -160,000 Conveyor -$500,000 -120,000 -120,000 -120,000 -120,000 -20,000 The IRR of alternative 2 is-Select- b.

Assume that, as a part of its economic development program, your governmental agency has committed to provide access to a new regional industrial park. This project must fund the construction of an on/off-interchange from an adjacent highway, a 2-mile length of 4-lane divided roadway, and a bridge that will cross a 500-foot wide river. The entire project is estimated to require 2 years to complete following planning & design.The roadway to be constructed is projected to cost $125,000 per lane mile. It will need to begin construction 12 months prior to the project’s estimated completion date. Your government controls the permitting process for the roadway and has already issued the necessary permits. The total roadway project will be paid for at its completion
An electric utility is considering a new power plant in northern Arizona. Power from the plant would be sold in the Phoenix area, where it is badly needed. Because the firm has received a permit, the plant would be legal; but it would cause some air pollution. The company could spend an additional $40 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental problem, but it would not be required to do so. The plant without mitigation would require an initial outlay of $240.20 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $80 million per year for 5 years. If the firm does Invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $84.06 million. Unemployment in the area where the plant would be built is high, and the plant would provide about 350 good jobs. The risk adjusted WACC is 19%. a. Calculate the NPV and IRR with mitigation. Enter your answer for NPV in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not…
Two landfill construction plans are being considered by a planning committee.They are:1) Plan A: Landfill with a groundwater protection system.2) Plan B: Landfill constructed with a geosynthetic liner to minimize leachates from the landfill and protectgroundwater sources.Annual amortized capital costs and risks of failure for the systems are presented in the table below:The cleanup cost, if the groundwater system should fail, is estimated to be $8,000,000.a) Determine the annual social cost of failure of each of the two plans.b) Determine to total cost per year for the two plans.c) If minimum total annual cost is the criterion for selecting a option, what plan should be chosen? Clearly justifyyour choice.
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Washington County's Board of Representatives is considering the construction of a longer runway at the county airport. Currently, the airport can handle only private aircraft and small commuter jets. A new, long runway would enable the airport to handle the midsize jets used on many domestic flights. Data pertinent to the board's decision appear below. Cost of acquiring additional land for runway Cost of runway construction Cost of extending perimeter fence Cost of runway lights Annual cost of maintaining new runway Annual incremental revenue from landing fees In addition to the preceding data, two other facts are relevant to the decision. First, a longer runway will require a new snowplow, which will cost $105,000. The old snowplow could be sold now for $10,500. The new, larger plow will cost $6,000 more in annual operating costs. Second, the County Board of Representatives believes that the proposed long runway,…
The government plans to increase the capacity of her existing water transmission lines in Cebu City. Two plans are under consideration. Plan A requires the construction of a parallel pipeline, the flow being maintained by gravity. The initial cost is P182,947,337 and the life is 50 years, with an annual operating cost of P5,725,635 for the 1st 25 years and P11,441,794 for the next 25 years. Plan B requires the construction of a booster pumping station costing P100M with the life of 50 years. The pumping equipment cost an additional amount of P25M, it has a life of 25 years and a salvage value of P2M. The annual operating cost is P5M. Using the Present Value (PV) Method and an interest of 23% cpd. annually, what is the PV of Plan A?
