The initial investment in a government-funded city flood control system is $500,000. From the initial year to the endless future, materials, maintenance, electric power, and other running expenditures are estimated to reach $10,000 per year. Every five years, major repairs and rehabilitations will be carried out at a cost of $100,000. What is the project's equivalent capitalized cost if the interest rate is 10% per year?
A certain government funded city flood control system has an initial investment cost of $500,000. Cost of materials, maintenance, electric power and other operating costs are expected to total $10,000 per year beginning from the first year until the infinite future. Major repairs and rehabilitations will occur every 5 years at a cost of $100,000. If the interest rate is 10% per year, what is the equivalent capitalized cost of this project?
Spacevoyage Inc, is considering the installation of a new experimental laboratory which requires a key equipment costing $5,000,000. It is expected that the equipment will generate important experimental material worth $2,000,000 for each of the next 5 years. In the 6th year, the equipment will need an upgrade costing $2,500,000. Required return for this project is 15%. a) Which capital budgeting method between NPV and IRR will be most suitable for arriving at a decision on whether or not to get the equipment installed? Briefly explain your reasons. b) Should the new equipment be installed? Support your answer with relevant computation.

The Square Box is considering two independent projects, both of which have an initial cost of $18,000. The cash inflows of Project A are $3,000, $7,000, and $10,000 over the next three years, respectively. The cash inflows for Project B are $3,000, $7,000, and $15,000 over the next three years, respectively. The required return is 12 percent and the required discounted payback period is 3 years. Based on discounted payback, which project(s), if either, should be accepted? Group of answer choices Project A should be rejected and Project B should be accepted. Both projects should be accepted. Project A should be accepted and Project B should be rejected. Both projects should be rejected. You should be indifferent to accepting either or both projects.

Sunland Automotive is considering adding state safety inspections to its service offerings. The equipment necessary to perform these inspections will cost $590,000 and will generate cash flows of $207,000 over each of the next five years. If the cost of capital is 14 percent, what is the MIRR on this project? (Round final answer to 1 decimal place, eg. 527.5.) MIRR %
A new municipal refuse-collection truck can be purchased for $84,000. Its expected useful life is six years, at which time its market value will be zero. Annual receipts less expenses will be approximately $18,000 per year over the six-year study period. At MARR of 19%, calculate the future worth of the project, the return on investment of the project, benefit-cost ratio of the project, the internal rate of return of the project.

The National Park Service is considering two plans for rejuvenating the forest and landscape of a large tract of public land. The study period is indefinitely long, and the Park Service’s MARR is 10% per year. You have been asked to compare the two plans using the CW method. The first plan (Skylin) calls for an initial investment of $500,000, with expenses of$20,000 per year for the first 20 years and $30,000 per year thereafter. Skyline also requires an expenditure of $200,000 20 years after the initial investment, and this will repeat every 20 years thereafter. The second plan (Prairie View) has an initial investment of $700,000 followed by a single (one time) investment of $300,000 30 years later. Prairie View will incur annual expenses of $10,000 forever. Based on the CW measure, which plan would you recommend?
Striped Potato is evaluating a project that would require the purchase of a piece of equipment for $365,000 today. During year 1, the project is expected to have relevant revenue of $216,000, relevant costs of $57,000, and relevant depreciation of $84,000. Striped Potato would need to borrow $365,000 today to pay for the equipment and would need to make an interest payment of $14,000 to the bank in 1 year. Relevant net income for the project in year 1 is expected to be $44,000. What is the tax rate expected to be in year 1?
