Chapter 11, Problem 11AP
Landover Corporation is looking for a larger office building to house its expanding operations. It is considering two alternatives. The first is a newly constructed building at a cost of $6 million. It would require only minor modifications to meet Landover’s needs, at an estimated cost of $500,000. The second building was constructed in 1910 and is a certified historic structure. It could be purchased for $3 million but would require an additional $4 million in renovations to be suitable for Landover.
- a. Calculate Landover’s allowable rehabilitation credit if it chooses to purchase and renovate the certified historic structure, and the after-tax purchase price of the building. Assume Landover would claim the credit ratably over years 0 through 4. Landover uses a 4 percent discount rate to calculate present value.
- b. Based on your analysis, which building should Landover acquire?
- c. How might your analysis and conclusion change if Landover is currently experiencing net operating losses and does not expect to pay regular tax for several years?

Kenny, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park. The
company bought some land six years ago for $7.5 million in anticipation of using it as a
warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities
elsewhere. The land would net $10.3 million if it were sold today. The company now
wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $21.5 million to
build, and the site requires $900,000 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? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer
in dollars, not millions, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)

The proposed plan involves purchasing land that is currently selling for $750,000. The price of constructing the building on this land is $4.5 million and should be finished before operations begin in year 1. The building will be depreciated straight-line to a book value of $500,000 over 20 years. New equipment will cost $200,000 upfront, and will be depreciated straight line to zero over 4 years. An HR team will need to be brought on for hiring new staff. They estimate that the upfront cost of hiring will be $210,000. In addition, a sales forecast has already been formed for the project and the incurred fee for this service is $90,000. The team forecasts sales of $900,000, $800,000, $600,000, and $300,000 for years 1 through 4 respectively. In each year, inventory equal to one tenth of the current year’s revenue will be required.…arrow_forward

- The city engineer and economic development directors are evaluating two sites for construction of a multipurpose sports arena. The sites are downtown (DT) and southwest (SW) of the metropolitan area. The city already owns enough land at the DT site; however, the land for a parking garage will cost $1 million, and construction costs will be $10 million for the parking garage, infrastructure relocation, 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 site 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 of $700,000 per year. Additionally, the average attendee will not have to travel as far, resulting in annual benefits of $400,000 per year. All other costs and revenues are expected to be the same…arrow_forwardParker & Stone, Incorporated, is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools.
