Construction on your custom home is complete and now the yard must be landscaped.
The landscape contractor has estimated that 8 cubic yards of dirt and 3 cubic yards of
sand will be required to level the yard and provide proper drainage. Dirt is priced at $35
per cubic yard and sand is priced at $27 per cubic yard. She has measured the yard and
calculated the area needing sod to be 3600 ft2. Sod is sold in rolls that measure 90 ft? at
a cost of $10 each per roll. Shrubbery installation will cost an additional $2500.
Estimate the cost of the landscaping.
An environmentally friendly 3,100-square-foot green home (99% air tight) costs about 8%
more to construct than a same-sized conventional home. Most green homes can save 14%
per year on energy expenses to heat and cool the living space. For a $261,000 conventional
home with a heating and cooling bill of $3,000 per year, how much would have to be saved
in energy expenses per year to justify this home (i.e., B-C ratio greater than or equal
to one)? The discount rate is 11% per year, and the expected life of the home is 23 years.

would have to be saved in energy expenses per year to justify this home. (Round to the
nearest dollar.)
A new highway is to be constructed, and asphalt paving will be used. The asphalt will
cost $150 per foot, including the material and the paving operation. Due to the heavy
usage expected, the asphalt is expected to last 5 years before requiring resurfacing. It is
anticipated that the cost of resurfacing will remain the same per foot. Concrete drainage
ditches will be installed to each side of the highway; they will each cost $7.75 per foot to
install. Ditches will have to be replaced every 15 years; the cost of replacing them will
also be $7.75 per foot. Four pipe culverts will be installed every mile; each culvert will
cost $8,000 and will last 10 years; replacement culverts will cost $10,000 each,
indefinately. Annual maintanance of the highway will cost $9,000 per mile. Cleaning each
culvert will cost $1,250 per year. Cleaning and maintaining each ditch will cost $3.75 per
foot per year. Determine the capitalized cost (CC) per mile of highway using a MARR of
5%.

- Focus on the difference between feasible alternatives. Insulated concrete forms (ICF) can be used as a substitute for conventional wood framing in building construction. Heating and cooling bills will be about 50% less than in a similar wood-framed building in upstate New York. An ICF home will be approximately 10% more expensive to construct than a wood-framed home. For a typical 2,000 ft2 home costing $120 per ft2 to construct in upstate New York and costing $200 per month to heat and cool, how many months does it take for a 2,000 ft2 ICF home to pay back its extraconstruction cost?arrow_forwardProblem 1: Loblolly Pine Plantation (Known Rotation Range) A forester is considering planting loblolly pine on a recently acquired site.

What is the breakeven value of statistical Me (VSL) needed to justify a highway project if i is 8%? The death rate on a particular three-lane road is 8 per 100 million vehicle-miles. Adding a lane would reduce this to 5 per million, and other accidents would cost $1.5M per mile to build, and annual maintenance would be 3% of the first cost.

Group of answer choices NPW = -20,000 + 4,000(P/A, 6%, 3) + 5,000(P/F, 6%, 3) NPW = -20,000(P/F, 6%, 3) + 4,000(P/A, 6%, 3) + 5,000(P/F, 6%, 3) NPW = 20,000(F/P, 6%, 3) + 4,000(F/A, 6%, 3) + 5,000 NPW = 20,000(P/F, 6%, 3) + 4,000(F/A, 6%, 3) + 5,000arrow_forwardYour brother, a new college graduate, wants to be his own boss. He wants to open a restaurant in a small strip center or acquire and operate a food truck, an increasingly popular mode of eating, especially in larger cities. The restaurant space can be rented for $2200 per month. Modest furnishings and used equipment will have a first cost of $26,000. Income is expected to be $15,100 per month, with expenses for utilities, labor, taxes, etc. expected to average $3700 per month. Alternatively, a kitchen-ready food truck will cost $17,900 to purchase and $900 per month to operate. Income is expected to be $6300 per month. If the salvage values are assumed to be 10% of the first cost for the restaurant and 35% of the first cost of the truck after a 5-year planning period, which alternative is better on the basis of an AW(per month) comparison at an interest rate of 12% per year, compounded monthly?arrow_forward
