Neighboring parishes in Louisiana have agreed to pool road tax resources already designated for bridge refurbishment. At a recent meeting, the engineers estimated that a total of $500,000 will be deposited at the end of next year into an account for the repair of old and safety-questionable bridges throughout the area. Further, they estimate that the deposits will increase by $100,000 per year for only 9 years thereafter, then cease. Determine the equivalent (a) present worth and (b) annual series amounts, if public funds earn at a rate of 5% per year. Draw also the cash flow diagram

A county will invest $5,600,000 to clean up a chemical spill that occurred following a natural disaster. At the end of the 9-year planning horizon, an additional $1,100,000 will be spent in restoring the site to an environmentally acceptable condition. The investment is expected to produce net annual benefits that will decrease by 24% each year. The net annual public benefit in the 1st year is estimated to be $2,600,000. Determine the B/C ratio for the investment using a 7% MARR. Click here to access the TVM Factor Table calculator. B/C=
A county will invest $4,800,000 to clean up a chemical spill that occurred following a natural disaster. At the end of the 9-year planning horizon, an additional $1,200,000 will be spent in restoring the site to an environmentally acceptable condition. The investment is expected to produce net annual benefits that will decrease by 25% each year. The net annual public benefit in the 1st year is estimated to be $3,000,000.

A road is constructed at the capital cost of $10 million. At the end of Year 10, major improvements are to be made costing $12 million. At the end of Year 25, a replacement and upgrade is to be done at a cost of $27 million. At the end of year 40, the federal government issues a one-time tax credit in the amount of $11 million. FIND Over a 50-year analysis period (assuming a 10% interest rate) what is the annualized cost (to the nearest dollar, $###) of all of these expenses?
There are two mutually exclusive proposals for a for a flood control project in Illinois. The first proposal involves an initial outlay of $1,350,000 and annual expenses of $110,000. This plan is assumed to be permanent. The second proposal requires an initial outlay of $700,000, followed by $200,000 every 12 years thereafter. Annual expenses for the second proposal are estimated to be $95,000 for the first 12 years and $150,000 each year there after. Annual benefits are identical for both projects, and terminal salvage values are negligible. The interest rate is 6% per year. Which proposal should be recommended?
Green County is planning to construct a bridge across the south branch of Carey Creek to facilitate traffic flow though Clouser Canyon. The first cost for the bridge will be $9,500,000. Annual maintenance and repairs the first year of operation, estimated to be $10,000, are expected to increase by $1000 each year thereafter. In addition to regular maintenance, every 5 years the roadway will be resurfaced at a cost of $750,000, and the structure must be painted every 3 years at a cost of $100,000. If Green County uses 5% as its cost of money and the bridge is expected to last for 20 years, what is the EUAC?
An area on the Colorado River is subject to periodic flood damage that occurs, on the average, every two years and results in a $2,000,000 loss. It has been proposed that the river channel be straightened and deepened, at a cost of $2,500,000, to reduce the probable damage to not over $1,600,000 for each occurrence during a period of 20 years before it would have to be deepened again. This procedure would also involve annual expenditures of $80,000 for minimal maintenance. One legislator in the area has proposed that a better solution would be to construct a flood-control dam at a cost of $8,500,000, which would last indefinitely, with annual maintenance costs of not over $50,000. He estimates that this project would reduce the probable annual flood damage to not over $450,000. In addition, this solution would provide a substantial amount of irrigation water that would produce annual revenue of $175,000 and recreational facilities, which he estimates would be worth at least $45,000 per…
Bowman Corporation is considering an investment in special-purpose equipment to enable the company to obtain a five-year government contract for the manufacture of a special item. The equipment costs $500,000 and would have no salvage value when the contract expires at the end of the five years. Estimated annual operating results of the project are as follows. All revenue and all expenses other than depreciation will be received or paid in cash in the same period as recognized for accounting purposes. Compute the following for Bowman’s proposal to undertake the contract work. Payback period. Return on average investment. Net present value of the proposal to undertake contract work, discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent.
A government decided to make a 25-year loan on $2,500,000 at 10% interest to a "Toll Road Authority". Four year of the loan period was to be spent to build the road during which time the government agreed to "capitalize" the interest until the road is completed and toll collection has started in the 5th year. $500,000 was expected to be spent each of the first two years and the rest also equally in the 3rd and 4th years. What annual payment by the Toll Authority would repay the loan (principal plus interest) over the remaining 21 years?
Rare Agri-Products Ltd. is currently evaluating a potential new project that is expected to have a duration of seven (7) years. This project falls under the government's subsidy program aimed at promoting local agricultural products, making it eligible for a one-time rebate of 25% on the initial equipment investment. The cost of the initial equipment (IE) is estimated to be $41,000,000. Additionally, at the end of year 3, an additional equipment (AE) costing $3,500,000 will be required. It is worth noting that at the end of the seven (7) years, the original equipment (IE) will have no resale value, while the supplementary equipment (AE) can be sold for $50,000. Furthermore, a working capital of $1,350,000 will be necessary for the project. Sales projections for agri-products over the seven-year period are as follows: Year 1: 70,000 unitsYear 2: 100,000 unitsYears 3-5: 250,000 unitsYears 6-7: 325,000 unitsThe expected selling price per unit is $150 for the first two years, which will…
Assume that, as a part of its economic development program, your governmental agency has committed to provide access to a new regional industrial park. This project must fund the construction of an on/off-interchange from an adjacent highway, a 2-mile length of 4-lane divided roadway, and a bridge that will cross a 500-foot wide river. The entire project is estimated to require 2 years to complete following planning & design.The roadway to be constructed is projected to cost $125,000 per lane mile. It will need to begin construction 12 months prior to the project’s estimated completion date. Your government controls the permitting process for the roadway and has already issued the necessary permits. The total roadway project will be paid for at its completion
You are tasked with calculating the property tax needed to fund the construction and operation of a $22.5 million complex. The facility's annual operating budget is forecast at $3.6 million, to be covered by revenues from programs offered at the facility. A 30-year general obligation bond with a rate of 5.5% will be issued to pay for the facility's construction costs. The net assessed value of property in the municipality is $725 million. Calculate the amount that must be set aside each year to meet the bond's principal and interest obligations over 30 years. Calculate the additional mileage required to cover the project's debt service. For an owner of the property with a total assessed value of $15,000, by how much will his/her property tax increase?
