Estimate the preliminary cost for the listed projects. You can use RSMeans Square Foot Costs data, and both location cost index and a historical cost index, to adjust your estimate, as applicable: a. a 20,000-sf gymnasium (median quality) to be built next month in Los Angeles, CA. b. a three-story, 22,000 sf office building (median quality) to be built next month in San Bernardino, CA c. a high end 40,000 sf medical clinic and offices to be built in next month in Pasadena, CA
Home Garden Inc. is considering the construction of a distribution warehouse in West Virginia to service its east coast stores based on the following estimates: a. Determine the net present value of building the warehouse, assuming a construction cost of 20,000,000, an annual net cost savings of 4,000,000, and a desired rate of return of 14%. Use the present value tables provided in Appendix A. b. Determine the net present value of building the warehouse, assuming a construction cost of 25,000,000, an annual net cost savings of 2,500,000, and a desired rate of return of 14%. Use the present value tables provided in Appendix A. c. Interpret the results of parts (a) and (b).
Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data warehouse: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing, or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows: If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data warehouse? What is the expected annual cost associated with that recommendation? Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a). What is the probability of the cost exceeding $700,000?
A new biomaterial used for prosthetic devices was developed by engineers in the laboratory that requires production equipment to start manufacturing. Two different equipment are considered. Equipment A will have an initial cost of $125,000 and annual cost of $55,000. Equipment B will have an initial cost of $175,000 and an annual cost of $35,000. For 20% MARR which process should be selected. What is the incremental rate of return?
Quantum Logistics, Inc., a wholesale distributor, is considering the construction of a new warehouse to serve the southeastern geographic region near the Alabama–Georgia border.

Suppose that a manufacturer plans to produce 78,000 units of product duringa year. A lot of size L, to be determined, is to be made periodically, andevery time a lot is made, it is necessary to set up the appropriate machineryand other production facilities before production starts. The set up cost is thena fixed cost incurred for each lot produced and it is determined as $ 200. Whenproduction commences , the cost of making a unit is constant at $ 7.5 per unit.Inventory cost is to be determined on the basis that it costs $ 0.50 per year tocarry one unit in inventory. Also find how many lots the manufacturerwould make per year and each lot would be produced in how manydays ?.

A new manufacturing facility will produce two products, each of which requires a drilling operation during processing. Two alternative types of drilling machines (D1 and D2) are being considered for purchase. One of these machines must be selected. For the same annual demand, the annual production requirements (machine hours) and the annual operating expenses (per machine) are listed in the shown Table. Which machine should be selected if the MARR is 15% per year? Show all your work to support your recommendation. Assumptions: The facility will operate 2,000 hours per year. Machine availability is 80% for Machine D1 and 75% for Machine D2. The yield of D1 is 90%, and the yield of D2 is 80%. Annual operating expenses are based on an assumed operation of 2,000 hours per year, and workers are paid during any idle time of Machine D1 or Machine D2. State any other assumptions needed to solve the problem.
A printed circuit board manufacturer will construct a new plant. The potential sites have the following estimates of income and cost. A plant on Site A would cost $30.2 million (mil) to build, produce $31.6 mil/year in revenues, $22.7 mil/year in expenses, and last 18 years. At Site B construction will cost $34.5mil with $35.2mil of revenues per year, $25.2 mil/year in expenses and will also last 18 years. Use the internal rate of return to determine which site should be selected. TheMARRis 25% per year.

Hyundai Motors is considering three sites-A, B, and C-at which to locate a factory to build its new-model automobile, the Hyundai Sport C150. The goal is to locate at a minimum-cost site, where cost is measured by the annual fixed plus variable costs of production. Hyundai Motors has gathered the following data: Site A B C Annualized Fixed Cost $11,000,000 $20,000,000 $25,000,000 Variable Cost per Auto Produced $2,600 $2,000 $1,000 The firm knows it will produce between 0 and 60,000 Sport C150s at the new plant each year, but, thus far, that is the extent of its knowledge about production plans. a) The value of volume, V, of production above which site C is recommended= 8751 Sport C150s (round your response up to the next whole number). b) The value of volume, V, of production below which site A is recommended=Sport C150s (round your response up to the next whole number).
