Chapter 10, Problem 1QP
Relevant Cash Flows [LO1] Parker & Slone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land six years ago for $3.5 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $3.9 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $16.7 million to build, and the site requires $850,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project? Why?

Caspian Sea Drinks is considering the purchase of a
new water filtration system produced by Rube Goldberg
Machines. This new equipment, the RGM-7000, will
allow Caspian Sea Drinks to expand production. It will
cost $15.00 million fully installed and will be fully
depreciated over a 20 year life, then removed for no
cost. The RGM-7000 will result in additional revenues of
$2.98 million per year and increased operating costs of
$579,459.00 per year. Caspian Sea Drinks' marginal tax

Orca Industries is considering the purchase of Shark Manufacturing. Shark is currently a supplier for Orca and the acquisition would allow Orca to better control its material supply. The current cash flow from assets for Shark is $6.9 million. The cash flows are expected to grow at 9 percent for the next five years before leveling off to 6 percent for the indefinite future. The costs of capital for Orca and Shark are 13 percent and 11 percent, respectively. Shark currently has 3 million shares of stock outstanding and $25 million in debt outstanding.
What is the maximum price per share Orca should pay for Shark? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
