- Burling Water Cooperative currently contracts the removal of small amounts of hydrogen sulfide from its well water using manganese dioxide filtration prior to the addition of chlorine and fluoride. Contract renewal for 5 years will cost $75,000 annually for the next 2 years and $100,000 in years 3, 4, and 5. Assume payment is made at the end of each contract year. Burling Coop can install the filtration equipment for $125,000 and perform the process for $50,000 per year.

The condition attached to this grant was that the entity shall clean up this land and lay roads by employing laborers from the village where the land is located. The government has fixed the minimum wage payable to the workers. The entire operation will take 3 years and is estimated to cost P10,000,000. This amount will be spent P2,000,000 for 2020, P2,000,000 for 2021 and P6,000,000 for 2022. The fair value of this land is P12,000,000.

A new contract between the two entities resulted in a reduction in future price increases in the cost of the water from 8% per year to 4% per year for the next 20 years. The cost of water next year (which is year 1 of the new contract) will be $260 per acre-ft. Using an interest rate of 6% per year, (a) Determine the present worth of the savings (in terms of $/acre-ft) to EPW between the old and the new contracts.(b) Determine the total present worth of the savings over the life of the contract if EPW uses 51,000 acre-ft per year.Sheldon Coopers Lab Services (SCLS) is bidding upon a service contract to maintain and upgrade 5 of the University's science labs per year for the next six years. The contract will require purchasing $972,000 in equipment that will be depreciated using straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the project's life. The equipment can be sold for $325,000 at the end of the service contract. They will also need $140,000 in net working capital over the life of the contract. While performing the contract work, they expect to incur fixed costs of $500,000 per year and a variable cost of $226,000 per lab. They will also face a corporate tax rate of 21%. If the required rate of return is 15%, what is the minimum offer they can make per lab and still turn an economic profit?
