Homecraft Stores (HSI), which operates a chain of retail warehouse-type stores, is considering opening a new store in the Tampa area. The store itself will cost $7,000,000 to build. In addition, fixtures for the store are expected to cost $700,000, and installation of the fixtures is estimated to cost another $50,000. Initial net working capital (primarily due to inventory) is expected to be $600,000. HSI plans to build the Tampa store on land it purchased five years ago for $200,000. The land is presently worth $500,000 and is expected to remain at $500,000 while the store is being built. Calculate the net investment for the proposed Tampa store.

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 $4 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 $8 million during this year and depreciation expense will be another $2 million. THSI will require no working capital for this investment. ​ THSI's tax-rate is​ 20% 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:

The Logan Well Services Group is considering two sites for storage and recovery of reclaimed water. The mountain site (MS) will use injection wells that cost $4.2 million to develop and $280,000 per year for M&O. This site will be able to accommodate 150 million gallons per year. The valley site (VS) will involve recharge basins that cost $11 million to construct and $400,000 per year to operate and maintain. At this site, 720 million gallons can be injected each year. If the value of the injected water is $3.00 per thousand gallons, which alternative, if either, should be selected according to the B/C ratio method? Use an interest rate of 8% per year and a 20-year study period.     The B/C ratio is  . Select alternative            (Click to select) neither of the alternatives mountain site valley site  .

Woodland Furniture (WF) is a firm producing wooden furniture for household uses. WG is now considering constructing a new production facility in Indonesia. The existing production facility will be closed if the project is to go ahead. The facility will be built on a piece of land located in the forest that WF has just purchased at $10 million for the purpose. The land is expected to be worth $2 million at the end of the project. WF uses a ten-year planning horizon for all of its capital budgeting decisions. The production facility will be constructed at a cost of $12 million. It will be depreciated at its full costs on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 10 years, and its salvage value is $4 million. Machinery will also be purchased at a cost of $6 million. The machinery will also be depreciated at its full costs on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 10 years. Its salvage value is $500,000. In addition, an initial investment of $2 million…

Boardman Gases and Chemicals is a supplier of highly purified gases to semiconductor manufacturers. A large chip producer has asked Boardman to build a new gas production facility close to an existing semiconductor plant. Once the new gas plant is in​ place, Boardman will be the exclusive supplier for that semiconductor fabrication plant for the subsequent 10 years. Boardman is considering one of two plant designs. The first is ​ Boardman's "standard" plant which will cost ​$38.8 million to build. The second is for a​ "custom" plant which will cost ​$53.4 million to build. The custom plant will allow Boardman to produce the highly specialized gases required for an emergency semiconductor manufacturing process. Boardman estimates that its client will order ​$12.8 million of product per year if the standard plant is​ constructed, but if the custom design is put in​ place, Boardman expects to sell ​$17.1 million worth of product annually to its client. Boardman has enough money to build…

The proposed capital project calls for the Manufacturing Department to fully automate a production facility using one of two different advanced robotics systems. System A will incur development costs of $175,500. System B will cost $650,000 to develop. Both systems will be capitalized and amortized using a CCA rate of 10%. In addition, the firm believes that Net Working Capital will rise by $95,000 at time zero and then by an additional $9,000 at the end of each year for each year that the new system is operating (except at the end of the final year of the project). This applies to both alternatives. However, all of the increase in Net Working Capital will be recovered at the end of the project.If the new automated robotics system is put into use, the pre-tax cost savings each year are estimated as follows:Table 1Year System A System B1 $60,000 $350,0002 $50,000 $220,0003 $50,000 $240,0004 $50,000 $260,0005 $25,000 $280,000 As the financial analyst, you are required to draft a…

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 $4.87 million to setup 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 depreciation expense 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 is 14.6% p.a. Compute the NPV of the temporary housing facility to the nearest dollar

Blossom, Inc., is considering investing in a new production line for eye drops. Other than investing in the equipment, the company needs to increase its cash and cash equivalents by $33,000, increase the level of inventory by $53,000, increase accounts receivable by $48,000, and increase accounts payable by $28,000 at the beginning of the project. Blossom will recover these changes in working capital at the end of the project 14 years later. Assume the appropriate discount rate is 12 percent. What are the present values of the relevant investment cash flows? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.25.) Present value $

ABC Residential Investors, LLP, is considering the purchase of a 120-unit apartment complex in Steel City, Pennsylvania. A market study of the area reveals that an average rental of $614 per month per unit could be realized in the appropriate market area. During the last six months, two very comparable apartment complexes have been sold in the same market area. The Oaks, a 140-unit project, sold for $9 million. Its rental schedule indicates that the average rent per unit is $578 per month. Palms, a 90-unit complex, is presently renting units at $678 per month, and its selling price was $6.6 million. The mix of number of bedrooms and sizes of units for both complexes is very similar to that of the subject property, and both appear to have normal vacancy rates of about 10 percent annually. All rents are net as tenants pay all utilities and expenses. Based on the data provided here, how would an appraiser establish an estimate of value? (Round intermediate calculations and final answers…
