You can buy a piece of vacant land for $40,000 cash. You plan to hold it for 20 years and then sell it at a profit. During this period, you would pay annual property taxes of $815. You would have no income from the property. (a) Assuming that you want an 8% rate of return, at what net price would you have to sell the land 20 years hence? (b) What is open space conservation and why is it important? What options would you have in selling your property with this in mind?

Assume that you are planning to buy a property producing natural resources. You think you will keep the property for the next 23 years. You plan to spend $700 per acre.

Please solve correctly . You are considering purchasing a dump truck. The truck will cost $75,000 and have operating and maintenance costs that start at $18,000 the first year and increases by $2,000 per year. Assume that the salvage value at the end of five years is $22,000 and interest rate is 15%. What is the annual operation and maintenance costs of owning this vehicle?
You are considering buying an old warehouse that you will convert into anoffice building for rental. Assuming that you will own the property for 10 years, how much would you be willing to pay for the old house now given the following financial data?(i) Remodeling cost at period 0 = $550,000;(ii) Annual rental income = $800,000;(iii)Annual upkeep costs (including taxes)= $80,000;(iiii) Estimated net property value (after taxes) at the end of 10 years =$2,225,000;(iiiii)The time value of your money (interest rate)= 8% per year.(a) $4,445,770(b) $5,033,400(c) $5,311,865(d) $5,812,665
Your company is contemplating replacing some current machinery with more energy efficient models. You will be replacing the fully-depreciated machinery, which you could probably use two more years if you chose not to replace it. You expect the current machinery will have no value in two years. The new machinery will cost $150,000, and can be depreciated using 3-year MACRS class life. Expected yearly before-tax savings due to acquiring the new machinery amounts to about $45,000. At the end of three years, the new machinery is expected to be sold for $30,000. The cost of capital is 8 percent and the tax rate is 21 percent. Prepare a schedule of project cash flows by year. Clearly label the rows showing EBIT, OCF and Free (Total) Cash Flows. Compute the project's NPV and IRR. Do you recommend accepting or rejecting the project?

Your landlord is planning to renovate the pool in your apartment. The New pool will cost 152,895 dollars, which will add money to you rent but will increase the revenue for your landlord by 54,500 at year 4 and 87325 at years 10. He calculates that the operational cost will be 13250.

You own a coal mining company and are considering opening a new mine. The mine itself will cost $120 million to open. If this money is spent immediately, the mine will generate $21 million for the next 10 years. After that, the coal will run out and the site must be cleaned and maintained at environmental standards. The cleaning and maintenance are expected to cost $1.9 million per year in perpetuity. What does the IRR rule say about whether you should accept this opportunity? (Hint: Consider the number of sign changes in the cash flows.) If the cost of capital is 8.2%, what does the NPV rule say? What does the IRR rule say about whether you should accept this opportunity? (Select the best choice below.) The IRR is 10.41%, so accept the opportunity Accept the opportunity because the IRR is greater than the cost of capital. There are twoIRRs, so you cannot use the IRR as a criterion for accepting the opportunity. Reject the opportunity because the IRR is lower than the 8.2%…

Some equipment is needed for a 4-year project. It can be leased for $15,000 annually, or it can be purchased for $60,000 at the beginning and sold for $35,000 at the end. What is the rate of return for owning the equipment rather than leasing it?
2. Suppose that you are considering speculating on some vacant land located on Bali Hai, an island in the South Pacific. You could acquire the land today for $850,000. You plan on holding it for fifteen years and then selling it. Annual taxes, insurance and upkeep (mowing, clearing of debris, etc.) of the land will be $35,000, paid at the end of the first year.
