The merger would occur officially at the start of 2004, with planning already underway. But Chicago may be Second City again if early discussions about a consolidation in the New York metropolitan area end up with a merger there well. The Chicago merger, intended to streamline operations for more than 50 United Ways in the area, is the largest in the history of the United Way system. It will bring together the United Way in Chicago (UWC) and the United Way of Suburban Chicago (UWSC), which is a federation of 52 local UWs, into one entity to be called the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago (UWMC). The UWC is traditionally among the top five UWs in terms of fundraising and has reported…The ARA Railroad owns a piece of land along with one of its right-of-ways.

An investor has recently offered ARA $1 million for the land. Should ARA build the maintenance facility at this location? Why or why not?

- Hemmingway, Inc., is considering a $5 million research and development (R&D) project. Profit projections appear promising, but Hemmingway's president is concerned because the probability that the R&D project will be successful is only 0.50. Furthermore, the president knows that even if the project is successful, it will require that the company build a new production facility at a cost of $20 million in order to manufacture the product. If the facility is built, uncertainty remains about the demand and thus uncertainty about the profit that will be realized. Another option is that if the R&D project is successful, the company could sell the rights to the product for an estimated $25 million. Under this option, the company would not build the $20 million production facility. The decision tree is shown in Figure 4.16. The profit projection for each outcome is shown at the end of the branches. For example, the revenue projection for the high demand outcome is $59 million.…Capital Budgeting with Taxes (Non-MACRS Depreciation); Sensitivity Analysis GravinaCompany is planning to spend $6,000 for a machine that it will depreciate on a straight-line basisover 10 years with no salvage value.
