In the Ponderosa Development Corp. (PDC) example, if the
land for each house costs $108,100 and lumber, supplies, and other
materials cost another $41,200 per house. The company leases office
and manufacturing space for $3,100 per month and their monthly
salaries total to $65,250. Assume that total labor costs are
approximately $26,800 per house. The cost of supplies, utilities,
and leased equipment is $6,650 per month. The one salesperson of
PDC is paid a commission of $3,900 on the sale of each house. The
selling price of each house is $195,000.
(1) Identify all costs and revenue for each house.
(2) Write the monthly cost function c (x), revenue function r (x),
and profit function p (x).
(3) What is the breakeven point (BEP) for monthly sales
of the houses based on the cost, revenue and profit functions
specified in (2)?
(4) What is the monthly profit if 13 houses per month are built and
sold?
(5) What is the monthly profit if the variable cost per
house = $160,500 and PDC built and sold 10 houses per month?
(4) What is the monthly profit if 13 houses per month are built and
sold?

A parcel of land is proposed for
residential house development. The land is situated beside a river
and so flooding is suspected to occur. Outline how you would go
about assessing if the land is subject to flooding.
If you assess that the land does
flood, outline how you would go about determining the flood levels
at the property. In this case the principal objective of the
assessment is to determine the flood elevation in a 100 yr ARI
flood...

You own a house on a plot of land. The land has a value of
$150,000. Use of the house has a value to you. You believe that the

though you get $8000 at the end of the first year. Thereafter the
annual benefits diminish at 4% per year. Furthermore, assume that
the house will have to be demolished in exactly 22 years. Assume

House A costs $100,000 with annual energy costs of $1,800 per
year. House B costs $110,000 with annual energy costs of $600 per

interest rate of 7% per year for a 30-year mortgage, and that
energy costs will escalate 1% per year.
a) What would be the simple payback of investing in House B
compared to House A? Is this a good investment?
b) What are the annualized...
