Chapter 8, Problem 8.3E
Estimating Variable Consideration. King Rat Pest Control, Incorporated was recently hired to exterminate pests in an office complex for $300,000. King Rat will receive an additional $10,000 based on the success of the extermination. The additional $10,000 will be paid in full if the extermination is fully successful after one month. That amount will be decreased to $8,000 if the extermination is successful after two months and further reduced to $5,000 if successful after three months. Based on past experience with similar contracts, King Rat estimates that there is a 20% probability that the process will be successful with the first month, a 75% probability that it will take two months to be successful, and a 5% probability that the process will be effective after three months.

- Your company must ensure the safety of its work force. Two plans are being considered for the next 10 years: 1. Install a high electrified fence around the property at a cost of $100, 00. Maintenance and electricity would then cost $5,000 per year over the 10 year life of the fence. 2. Hire security guards at a cost of $25,000 paid ate the end of each year. Because the company plans to build new headquarters with a “state of the art” security system in 10 years, the plan will be in effect only until that time. Your company’s cost of capital is 15% for average risk projects. Plan 1 is considered to be of low risk because its costs can be predicted quite accurately. Plan 2, on the other hand is a high-risk project because of the difficulty of predicting wage rates. What is the proper PV costs for the better project?arrow_forwardNeed answers, ASAP . The Kasibu Cooperative has invested a 145,000 new mechanical grading/sorter system which is projected to improve throughput and increase revenue by 14,000 per year for five years. The estimated market value of the sorter system at the end of five years is 5,000. Using the FW method at a MARR of 12%, is this a good investment?arrow_forwardA grocery distribution center is considering whether to invest in RFID or bar code technology to track its inventory within the warehouse and truck loading operations. The useful life of the RFID and bar code devices is projected to be 5 years with minimal or zero salvage value. The bar code investment cost is $105,000 and can be expected to save at least $33,000 in product theft and lost items annually. The RFID system is estimated to cost $230,000 and will save $30,000 the first year, with an increase of $15,000 annually after the first year. For a 6% MARR, should the manager invest in the RFID system or the bar code system? Analyze incrementally using rate of return.arrow_forward

The project requires an initial investment of $120,000 which is depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over the 3 year project life. The machine will be sold at the end of the project for $35,000. The initial net working capital investment required for this project is $14,000 which will be recovered at the end of the project's life. The tax rate is 25% and the required return on the project is 10%. What is the total cash flow for the project in year 3?

The investment cost is $25,000, and the equipment will have a market value of $5,000 at the end of a study period of five years. Increased productivity attributable to the equipment will amount to $8,000 per year after extra operating costs have been subtracted from the revenue generated by the additional production. Evaluate the IRR of the proposed equipment. Is the investment a good one? Recall that the MARR is 20% per year.arrow_forwardAn engineer developed a fee proposal that requests the owner pay $20,000 after 6 months of work and $40,000 after 12 months.
