The owner, "Thunder Dan," (as the locals call him), decides if he wants to expand, he will need more space. He decides to expand the size of the current warehouse. This expansion will cost him about $400,000 to construct a new side to the building. Using the additional space wisely, Dan estimates that he will be able to generate about $70,000 more in sales per year, while incurring $41,500 in labor and variable costs of goods Calculate the amount of the Net Capital Expenditure (NCS) on the project below. Multiple Choice -$2,200,000 230,000 -$370,000 -$400.000 $271,500 -$70,000

Company A purchased a corner lot five years ago at a cost of $134000. The lot was recently appraised at $119000. At the time of the purchase, the company spent $2100 to grade the lot and another $24000 to build a small building on the lot to house a parking lot attendant who has overseen the use of the lot for daily commuter parking. The company now wants to build a new retail store on the site. The building cost is estimated at $126000. What amount should be used as the initial cash flow for this building project?
Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 5 years ago for $7,385,474 in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $3,944,875. An engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of $617,920, and her conclusion was that the land can support the new manufacturing facility. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $5,838,309 to build, and the site requires $994,648 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?

A civil engineer who owns his own design/build/operate company purchased a small crane 3 years ago at a cost of $65,000. At that time, it was expected to be used for 10 years and then traded in for its salvage value of $10,000. Due to increased construction activities, the company would prefer to trade for a new, larger crane now, which will cost $80,000. The company estimates that the old crane can be used, if necessary, for another 3 years, at which time it would have a $17,000 estimated market value. Its current market value is estimated to be $29,000, and if it is used for another 3 years, it will have M&O costs (exclusive of operator costs) of $17,000 per year. Determine the values of P, n, S, and AOC that should be used for the existing crane in a replacement analysis. The value of P is $ . The value of n is years. The value of S is $ . The AOC value is $ per year.

Several years ago Velvet Company purchased a small building adjacent to its manufacturing plant in order to have room for expansion when needed. Since the company had no immediate need for the extra space, the building was rented out to another company for rental revenue of $40,000 per year. The renter’s lease will expire next month, and rather than renewing the lease, Velvet Company has decided to use the building itself to manufacture a new product.
