You are considering getting a Little Nero Caesar Salad Franchise, because your boss (the owner of a Down Under Sandwich Shoppe) seems to be making it big. The Down Under Shoppe grosses an average of $380,000 sales annually. You estimate that your business will gross an average of 95% of Down Under’s sales. You must borrow $320,000 from the bank. The bank will charge you 12% per annum interest on this loan. You also will invest $50,000 of your savings in the business (thus you will no longer receive the 4% per annum interest from this). NOTE: neither the bank loan principal nor the $50,000 of your savings you invest is an explicit or implicit cost. However, the interest paid on the bank loan is explicit and the interest foregone on your savings is implicit. Other estimated explicit expenses are: labor $130,000 per year; rent $12,000 a year; utilities $4,000 a year; and salad ingredients $140,000 a year. An explicit expense you will have to pay Little Nero, Inc., is a franchise…
A speculative developer is considering purchasing a site for the construction of 40
detached estate houses. The selling price of the houses is GHS 455,000 each. The
cost of the land, inclusive of legal charges, is GHS 1,050,000. The developer requires
a profit of 16% of the Gross Development Value (GDV). What is the allowable
amount for building costs? Assume Legal, agent's and advertising fees to be 3% of
GDV.
A factory engaged in the fabrication of an automobile part with a production capacity of 10,742 units per year is only operating at 62% of the capacity due to unavailability of the necessary foreign currency to finance the importation of their raw materials. The annual income is P485,124, annual fixed costs are P197,144.88, production costs are 30.255 per unit and variable costs are P25.685 per unit.
A.)What is the selling price of each automobile parts?
B.)How much profit will the manufacturer receives yearly?

- A food processing plant consumed 450,000 kW of electric energy annually and pays an average of P2.00 per kWh. A study is being made to generate its own power to supply the plant the energy required, and that the power plant installed would cost P2,000,000. Annual operation and maintenance, P800,000. Other expenses P100,000 per year. Life of power plant is 15 years; salvage value at the end of life is P200,000; annual taxes and insurances, 4% of first cost; and rate of interest is 14%. What is the rate of return? Is the power plant justifiable?arrow_forward(Show the cashflow diagram if needed) A project is estimated to cost P100,000, lasts 8 years, and have a P10,000 salvage value. The annual gross income is expected to average P24,000 and annual expenses, excluding depreciation, will total P6,000. If capital is earning 10% before income taxes, determine if this is a desirable investment using PWM and FWM.arrow_forwardA steam generation system at a biomass-fueled power plant uses an electrostaticprecipitator (ESP) to clean its gaseous effluents. The power plant has consistently made use ofthe same type of ESP over the past several years. The installed cost of a new ESP has beenrelatively constant at $100,000. Records of operation and maintenance expenses indicate thefollowing average expenses per year as a function of the age of the ESP. The MVs of the ESP arealso reasonably well known as a function of age. Data graph in image attached. Determine the best time to replace the ESP if the MARR is 15% per year.arrow_forward

This cost could be depreciated at 30% per year (Class 10). The monitor would actually be worth $100,000 in five years. The new monitor would save $460,000 per year before taxes and operating costs. Suppose the new monitor requires us to increase net working capital by $47,200 when we buy it. If we require a 15% return, what is the NPV of the purchase? Assume a tax rate of 40%.

- 2. A piece of new equipment has been proposed to increase the productivity of a manual process. The investment cost is $50,000, and the equipment will have a market value of $15,000 at the end of five years. Increased productivity attributable to the equipment will amount to $12,000 per year after extra operating costs have been subtracted from the revenue generated by the additional production.
