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?
In 1998, Novak Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,500,000 and first occupied it in January 1999. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $76,000 at the end of that time. Early in 2009, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $625,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $25,000. In 2027, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2058, or 20 years beyond the original estimate. (a) Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1999 through 2008. Annual depreciation from 1999 through 2008 $ GA /yr.

An investor is considering the purchase of an existing suburban office building approximately five years old. The building, when constructed, was estimated to have an economic life of 50 years, and the building-to-value ratio was 80 percent. Based on current cost estimates, the structurewould cost $5 million to reproduce today. The building is expected to continue to wear out evenly over the 50-year period of its economic life. Estimates of other economic costs associated with the improvement are as follows:Repairable physical depreciation $300,000 to repairFunctional obsolescence (repairable) $200,000 to repairFunctional obsolescence (nonrepairable) $ 25,000 per year rent lossThe land value has been established at $1 million by comparable sales in the area. The investor believes that an appropriate opportunity cost for any deferred outlays or costs should be 12 percent per year. What would be the estimated value for this property?
In 1993, Concord Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $ 2,100,000 and first occupied it in January 1994. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $ 63,200 at the end of that time. Early in 2004, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $ 525,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $ 21,000. In 2022, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2053, or 20 years beyond the original estimate.
28. Capital versus Revenue Expenditure Waleed Company, a privately owned business, supplies water to several communities. Waleed has just performed an extensive overhaul on one of its water pumps.

Required: CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION: Classify each cost as part of the overhaul or as an expense 1.New pump motor 2. Repacking of bearings (performed monthly) 3. New impeller (rotating component of a pump) 4. Painting of pump housing (performed annually) 5.Replacement of pump foundation 6.New wiring (needed every five years) 7. Installation labour, motor 8.

The owners of a new planned unit development have installed a package sewage treatment plant that will be paid for by rates charged to the users. package sewage treatment plant cost new = $1,000,000 life of the plant = 240 months %3D salvage value at EOM 240 = 50 O & M cost = gradient in O & M = $400/month/month $40,000/month %3D periodic overhaul every 10 months (first at EOM 4, last at EOM 234) = $100,000/cach gradient in periodic overhaul = $5,000each/10 months number of customers = 6,000 charge per customer = $16.00/month %3D The owners borrowed money at 1 percent per month interest in order to construct the plant, so while they do not expect to make a big profit, they do want the plant to earm a rate of return of at least 1 percent. Is the rate shown above sufficient to carn 1 percent rate of return? (Ans. At a trial i= 1%, the NAW=+$930/month, so the plant earns more than 1% rate of return.)
1. A municipality 5 years ago purchased a pump for its sewage treatment plant at $6,000. The pump had annual operating costs of $3,200 and these are expected to continue. This pump is expected to continue to operate satisfactorily for 6 additional years, at which tie it may be expected to have negligible salvage value. The municipality has an opportunity to purchase a new pump for $8,500. The new pump is estimated to have a life of 6 years, negligible salvage value at the end of its life, and an annual operating cost of $1,400. If the new pump is purchased, the old pump will be sold for $1,600. The interest rate is 12% . With no knowledge of future replacements and a 6 year study period, what option should be selected? Answer [AE(12)D = $3589 and AE(12)c = $3467]
