Chapter 4, Problem 12P
The Astro World amusement park has the opportunity to expand its size now (the end of year 0) by purchasing adjacent property for $250,000 and adding attractions at a cost of $550,000. This expansion is expected to increase attendance by 30 percent over projected attendance without expansion. The price of admission is $30, with a $5 increase planned for the beginning of year 3. Additional operating costs are expected to be $100,000 per year. Estimated attendance for the next five years, without expansion, is as follows:
- What are the pretax combined cash flows for years 0 through 5 that are attributable to the park’s expansion?
- Ignoring tax, depreciation, and the Lime value of money, determine how long it will take to recover (pay back) the investment.

a) For an upcoming red carpet evening, a company is selling tickets at $60 per person at a large theatre which has a capacity of 10,000 people. Each attendant is expected to buy $12 of food and merchandise at the film evening. The cost of providing the food and merchandise is estimated to be $5 per person. All other ancillary services will be provided by the theatre. Initial analysis indicates that the ancillary cost of providing food and merchandise, as well as the staff needed to handle ticket sales, may be described as a semi-variable cost. Data on these costs and tickets sold from three similar events held at the venue have been collected and are tabulated below:
Tickets Sold

- Operation management Hansen is interested in leasing a sports-utility vehicle and has contacted three automobile dealers for pricing information. Each dealer offered Hansen a 24-month lease with no down payment due at the time of signing. Each lease includes a monthly cost, mileage allowances, and the cost for additional miles. The details are given in the below table. Hansen decided to choose the lease option that will minimize his total 24-month cost. He is not sure how many miles he will drive in the next two years. Hence, for the purpose of decision, assume that Jase wants to evaluate options of driving 20,000 miles per year, 23,000 miles per year, and 25,000 miles per year. a.

The initial investment required for this project is $500,000, and annual maintenance costs are anticipated to be $35,000. Annual operating cost will be in direct proportion to the level of production at $8.50 per unit, and each unit of product can be sold for $50.00. If the project has a life of 7 years, what is the minimum annual production level for which this project is economically viable? Work this problem on an after-tax basis.

This rink would have a capacity of 800 ice skaters per day, and the proposed admission fee is $6 per individual per day. The estimated cost of the ice rink, averaged over the life of the rink, is $4 per ice skater per day. The city of Winnipeg has hired you to assess this project. Fortunately, Ottawa already has an ice rink, and the city of Ottawa has randomly varied the price of that rink to find how price affects usage. The results from their study follow: Ice rink price Number of ice skaters per day $8 $10 $4 $6 $2 per day 500 200 1100 800 1400 a. If the ice rink is built as planned, what would be the net benefit per day from the ice rink? What is the consumer surplus for ice skaters? b. Given this information, is an 800-ice rink the optimally sized ice rink for Winnipeg to build? Explain.arrow_forward4.) After 10 years of production, the chemical manufacturing plant has become very successful. Because of its success, a great demand for products came as many consumers wanted the company to sell them their products. To meet the demand, three alternatives were considered. Work overtime to meet demands. Annual overtime expenses are $500,000. Expand the plant to accommodate more production. Fixed annual expenses are $2,500,000. Make a contract with another company to produce additional products at a rate of $1,000,000. The cost of manufacturing products from the three alternatives are $3500, $3000 and $3250 per unit respectively. The plant sells every unit made regardless of how they were made at $15,000 per unit. The expected demand for the product is 150 units with a probability of 50% 250 units with a probability of 35% 350 units with a probability of 7.5% 400 units with a probability of 5% 500 units with a probability of 2.5%arrow_forward
