You have been asked to evaluate investment of purchasing a parking lot under the following conditions: - The proposal is for a parking lot costing $4,000,000. The deck has an expected useful life of 15 years and a net salvage value of $625,000 (after tax adjustment). - The tenants have recently signed long-term leases, which leads you to believe that the current rental income of $250,000 per year will remain constant for the first five years, then the rental income will increase by 10% for every five-year interval over the remaining asset life. - The estimated operating expenses, including income taxes, will be $65,000 for the first year and will increase by $6,000 each year thereafter. Considering an annual interest rate of 15%, what is the net present worth (NPW)?

A piece of construction equipment will cost $6,000 new and will have an expected life of 8 years, with no salvage value at the end of its life. The disbursements for taxes, insurance, maintenance, fuels, and lubricants are estimated to be $1,500 for the first two years, $1,700 for the third, $1,900 for the fourth, and will continue to increase by $200 each year thereafter. a) Draw a fully labelled diagram to represent this cash flow. b) What is the equivalent Future Cost (FW) of this piece of equipment if the rate of interest is 12%?
An electric utility company is considering a re-engineering of a major hydroelectric facility. The project would yield greater capacity and lower cost per kilowatt-hour of power. As a result of the project, the price of power would be reduced. This is expected to increase the quantity of power demanded. The following data are available Effect of Reduced Price of Power 0.08 10,000,000 0.07 14,000,000 Current price ($/kWh) Current consumption (kWh/year) New price ($/kWh) Expected consumption (kWh/year) What is the annual benefit to consumers of power from this project?

(Show the cashflow diagram if needed) A project is estimated to cost P100,000, lasts 8 years, and have a P10,000 salvage value. The annual gross income is expected to average P24,000 and annual expenses, excluding depreciation, will total P6,000. If capital is earning 10% before income taxes, determine if this is a desirable investment using PWM and FWM.
Kolby's Korndogs is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $670,000. The asset qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation and can be scrapped for $88,000 at the end of the project's 5-year life. The sausage system will save the firm $213,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $41,000. If the tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV

The consultancy Imagination Inc. is working with its manufacturing client Parts-R-Us to improve their on-time performance. The firm can earn a bonus of up to $1,000,000 based on how much the on-time performance actually improves. It's current (baseline) on-time performance is 90%. The company typically completes approximately 1,000 orders per month, with approximately 100 orders delayed. The bonus payment is prorated according to the following criteria: · The on-time performance improvement is calculated based on a reduction in late events or an improvement in on-time performance. · No bonus is earned for the first 25% reduction in late events, say from 100 to 75. Maximum bonus is earned once Parts-R-Us achieves 95% on-time performance. Please answer the following: Write down a formula to determine the total bonus amount to be received Using your formula, show how much bonus would be paid if Parts-R-Us achieves 94% on-time performance.
Consider a project to supply Detroit with 27,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $4,600,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for 5 years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $1,100,000 and that variable costs should be $205 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the 5-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $475,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $308 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $440,000. You require a return of 12 percent and face a tax rate of 23 percent on this project. a. Suppose you’re confident about your own projections, but you’re a little unsure about Detroit’s actual machine screw…
2. A piece of new equipment has been proposed to increase the productivity of a manual process. The investment cost is $50,000, and the equipment will have a market value of $15,000 at the end of five years. Increased productivity attributable to the equipment will amount to $12,000 per year after extra operating costs have been subtracted from the revenue generated by the additional production. If the company's MARR is 18% per year, is this proposal a god one considering AW?
