- A new solid waste treatment plant is to be constructed in Washington County. The initial installation will cost $35 million (M). After 10 years, minor repair and renovation (R&R) will occur at a cost of $14M will be required; after 20 years, a major R&R costing $20M will be required. The investment pattern will repeat every 20 years. Each year during the 20-year period, operating and maintenance (O&M) costs will occur. The first year, O&M costs will total $2M. Thereafter, O&M costs will increase at a compound rate of 4% per year. Based on a 4% MARR, what is the capitalized cost for the solid waste treatment plant?arrow_forwardDisposable Containers Corp.

- On April 30, 2020, Flounder Corporation ordered a new passenger ship, which was delivered to the designated cruise port and available for use as of June 30, 2020. Overall, the cost of the ship was $93 million, with an estimated useful life of 12 years and residual value of $30 million. Flounder expects that the new ship, as a whole, will provide its greatest economic benefits in its early years of operation. After further research and discussion with management, it is determined that the ship consists of major parts with differing useful lives, residual values, and patterns of providing economic benefits: Part Cost Useful life Residual value Pattern ofbenefits Total output(nautical miles) Engines (6) $975,000 per engine 8 years $100,000 per engine Varies with activity 7 million Hull $3,900,000 10 years $503,000 Highest in early years 7.90 million Body $83.25 million 15 years $15.21 million Evenly over life of body 12.30…arrow_forwardAn investment project will involve spending $300,000 at time zero and $450,000 at the end of year one.
