Officials from the City of Galveston and State of Texas gathered to celebrate the start of a beach restoration project that involves dumping sand and adding antierosion structures. The first cost of the project is $30 million with annual maintenance estimated at $340,000. If the restored/expanded beaches attract visitors who will spend $6.2 million per year, what is the conventional B/C ratio at the social discount rate of 8% per year? Assume the State wants to recover the investment in 20 years.
Temporary Housing Services Incorporated (THSI) is considering a project that involves setting up a temporary housing facility in an area recently damaged by a hurricane. THSI will lease space in this facility to various agencies and groups providing relief services to the area. THSI estimates that this project will initially cost $5 million to set up and will generate $20 million in revenues during its first and only year in operation (paid in one year). Operating expenses are expected to total $12 million during this year and the capital cost allowance will be another $3 million. THSI will require no working capital for this investment. THSI's marginal tax rate is 35%. Assume that THSI's cost of capital for this project is 15%. The net present value (NPV) of this temporary housing project is closest to: $435,000 -$650,000 $1,960,000 -$435,000 $1,250,000

MaxiCare Corporation, a not-for-profit organization, specializes in health care for senior citizens. Management is considering whether to expand operations by opening a new chain of care centers in the inner city of large metropolitan areas. For a new facility, initial cash outlays for lease, renovations, net working capital, training, and other costs are expected to be about $15 million. The corporation expects the cash inflows of each new facility in Year 1 to equal zero. Net cash inflows are expected to increase to $1 million in each of years 2 and 3; $2.5 million in year 4; and $3 million in each of years 5 through 10. The lease agreement for the facility will expire at the end of year 10, and MaxiCare expects the cost to close a facility will pretty much exhaust all cash proceeds from the disposal. Cost of capital for MaxiCare is estimated as 12%. Assume that all cash flows occur at year end. Required: 1. Compute (using the built-in NPV function in Excel) the net present value…

The Transportation Service Directorate of a Municipality wants to purchase a newsoftware system to charge and track toll fees. The director wants to know the total capitalized cost ofthe software system. The system has an initial installment cost of 150 000 pbr and an additional cost of50 000 pbr after 10 years. Annual software maintenance cost is 8000 pbr and starts at year five. Inaddition, there is expected to be a recurring major upgrade cost of 15000 pbr every 13 years. Assumethat i=5% per year. If the new system will be used for the indefinite future, draw the cash flowdiagram and find the capitalized cost of the investment.
Fresno is considering building a temporary bridge to cut travel time during the three years it will take to build the new permanent “I” Street bridge to West Sacramento. The temporary bridge would be constructed over two years at a cost of $300,000 each year. At the beginning of the fourth year following three years of useful life it would be removed at a cost of $80,000. City cost-benefit analysts predict that the benefits in real dollars would be $200,000 during the first year, $300,000 during the second year, and $400,000 during the third year. Set up the NPV equation for the CBA.
