A construction manager just starting in private practice needs a van to carry crew and equipment. She can lease a used van for $3,938 per year, paid at the beginning of each year, in which
case maintenance is provied. Alternatively, she can buy a used van for $5,473 and pay for maintenance herself. She expects to keep the van for three years at which time she could sell it
for $1,139. What is the most she should pay for uniform annual maintenance to make it worthwhile to buy the van instead of leasing it, if her MARR is 20%?

You are considering renovating your small business into an even smaller business. You
currently earn $50,000 per year from your business. It would cost $100,000 to
renovate. You are not sure how successful the new venture will be. You paid $500 for a
market report which told you that you have an equal chance of earning $100,000 per
year or $40,000 per year, starting in 2 years (meaning at time 2). You plan to operate
the business for 10 years, regardless of renovations. You have an interest rate of 2%
annually
What is the NPV of the project?

In early 2008, you purchased and remodeled a 120-room hotel to handle the increased number of conventions coming to town. By mid-2008, it became apparent that the recession would kill the demand for conventions. Now, you forecast that you will be able to sell only 10,000 room-nights, which cost $70 per room per night to service. You spent $25.00 million on the hotel in 2008, and your cost of capital is 10%. The current going price to sell the hotel is $20 million.If the estimated demand is 10,000 room-nights, the break-even price is $per room, per night. (Hint: Remember that the cost of capital is the opportunity cost, or true cost, of making an investment.)

- Jessica has been working for a law firm and earning an annual salary of $90,000. She decides to open her own practice. Her annual expenses were $15,000 for office rent, $1,700 for supplies, $800 for utilities, and a $30,000 salary for a secretary/bookkeeper. Jessica covered her start-up expenses by cashing in a $20,000 certificate of deposit on which she was earning annual interest of $500. (The $20,000 was spent on furniture and at the end of the year the furniture is still in the office, assuming there is no depreciation, so the $20,000 from the certificate of deposit is not a cost). Her practice generated $150,000 revenue in the first year. Please show calculations thank you! Calculate Jessica's Implicit & explicit costs. Calculate Jessica's Economic costs and economics profit.

The airline has spent five years and millions of dollars building a new flight planning program – which it says will materially cut its fuel bill and bring its ultra-haul ambitions closer to reality. Qantas’ team of dispatchers have used the same computer program for 30 years to plan the route of each flight, assessing weather, airspace traffic, safety and legal constraints on three of four possible routes. The new system uses cloud computing to crunch data on thousands of possible flight paths, using millions of data points – including the latest wind patterns, and varying altitudes and wind speeds – to build a cost map that presents the most efficient route… A flight to Johannesburg, for example, was directed to fly 160 nautical miles further than it would normally, but in doing so cut the headwinds it experienced by two-thirds.

In ten years, the daughter will start college. She will need to pay for her college costs for four years with an annual sum of $20,000 in current (constant) dollars. Assume that these tuition payments will be sent in at the start of every academic year. (At the conclusion of ten years, the first payment is made.) The interest rate on the savings account will be 8% compounded quarterly (market interest rate) during this time, whereas the expected general inflation rate for the future is 5% annually.

This amount is not subject to federal tax. As you pay medical expenses during the year, you are reimbursed by the administrator of the FSA until the money is exhausted. From that point on, you must pay your medical expenses out of your own pocket. On the other hand, if you put more money into your FSA than the medical expenses you incur, this extra money is lost to you. Your annual salary is $80,000 and your federal income tax rate is 30%. [1] Assume that your medical expenses in a year are normally distributed with mean $2000 and standard deviation $500. Build an @RISK model in which the output is the amount of money left to you after paying taxes, putting money in an FSA, and paying any extra medical expenses.

Insurance costs are $560 for each six months of operation, starting immediately, and advertising costs (flyers, newspaper ads, etc.) are estimated to be $110 per month. All calculations are performed using 4 significant figures.
