City officials have questioned the number and profitability of the luxury corporate boxes planned for the upper deck of the stadium. Corporations andselected individuals may buy the boxes for $340,000 each. The fixed construction cost for the upper deck area is estimated to be $5,780,000, with a variable cost of $170,000 for each box constructed.(a) What is the break-even point for the number of luxury boxes in the new stadium?(b) Preliminary drawings for the stadium show that space is available for the construction of up to 52 luxury boxes. Promoters indicate that buyers are available and that all 52 could be sold if constructed.(i) What is your recommendation concerning the construction of luxury boxes?O Build the luxury boxes.O Do not build the luxury boxes.(ii) What profit is anticipated (in dollars)? (Enter a negative value if a predicted loss.)$

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 Cebu City plans to increase the capacity of her existing water transmission lines. Two plans are under consideration. Plan A requires the construction of a parallel pipeline, the flow being maintained by gravity. The initial cost is P197,342,811 and the life is 40 years, with an annual operating cost of P8,450,154 for the 1st 20 years and P13,297,046 for the next 20 years. Plan B requires the construction of a booster pumping station costing P100M with the life of 40 years. The pumping equipment cost an additional amount of P25M, it has a life of 20 years and a salvage value of P2M. The annual operating cost is P5M. Using the Present Value (PV) Method and an interest of 21% cpd. annually, what is the PV of Plan 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
The city of Columbia is considering extending the runways of its municipal airport so that commercial jets can use the facility. The land necessary for the runway extension is currently a farmland that can be purchased for $350,000. Construction costs for the runway extension are projected to be $600,000, and the additional annual maintenance costs for the extension are estimated to be $22,500. If the runways are extended, a small terminal will be constructed at a cost of $250,000. The annual operating and maintenance costs for the terminal are estimated at $75,000. Finally, the projected increase in flights will require the addition of two air traffic controllers at an annual cost of $100,000. Annual benefits of the runway extension have been estimated as follows (shown): Apply the B–C ratio method with a study period of 20 years and a MARR of 10% per year to determine whether the runways at Columbia Municipal Airport should be extended.

A city is analyzing two alternatives for generating electricity. The first is the construction of a hydroelectric dam with an investment of $200 million and an annual cost of $2 million for operation and maintenance. The life span of the dam is so great that it can be considered infinite. The second alternative consists of generating electricity from a gas plant, whose lifetime is 20 years. The initial investment required is $40 million and the annual cost of operation and maintenance is $6 million. The minimum attractive rate of real return is 5% per annum. Compare and calculate the Net Present Value of the resulting savings
An electric utility is considering a new power plant in northern Arizona. Power from the plant would be sold in the Phoenix area, where it is badly needed. Because the firm has received a permit, the plant would be legal; but it would cause some air pollution. The company could spend an additional $40 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental problem, but it would not be required to do so. The plant without mitigation would require an initial outlay of $240.20 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $80 million per year for 5 years. If the firm does Invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $84.06 million. Unemployment in the area where the plant would be built is high, and the plant would provide about 350 good jobs. The risk adjusted WACC is 19%. a. Calculate the NPV and IRR with mitigation. Enter your answer for NPV in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Negative values, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not…
