Sunland Energy Company owns several gas stations. Management is looking to open a new station in the western suburbs of Baltimore. One possibility that managers at the company are evaluating is to take over a station located at a site that has been leased from the county. The lease, originally for 99 years, currently has 73 years before expiration. The gas station generated a net cash flow of $93,580 last year, and the current owners expect an annual growth rate of 6.3 percent. If Sunland Energy uses a discount rate of 13.6 percent to evaluate such businesses, what is the present value of this growing annuity? (Round factor values to 6 decimal places, e.g. 1.521253 and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.21.)

Please explain answer in detail. Thank you.

Answer:

Calculation of present value:

Growth rate=6.3% or 0.063

Discount rate=13.60% or 0.136

Last year cash flow=$93,580

Present value=[Last year Cash flow(1+Growth rate)]/(Discount rate-Growth rate)

=[$93,580(1+0.063)]/(0.136-0.063)

=$99,475.54/0.073

=$1,362,678.63

Marathon petroleum distribution company manages 600 gas stations in Michigan. Each gas station typically has four underground storage tanks (UGST), three for gasoline and one for diesel. The UGST develop leaks sometimes due to corrosion or changes in soil conditions. Based on historical data, Marathon estimates that the probability that a given UGST develops a leak during a given year is 0.002 for gasoline storage tanks and higher at 0.003 for diesel storage tanks potentially due to higher density of...

Gasoline is sold through local gas stations under perfectly competitive conditions. All gas station owners face the same long-run total cost function given by: LRTC= 0.01q3-2q2+101q Where q is the number of gallons sold per day. Assuming the market is in long-run equilibrium, how much gas will each firm sell per day? What is the value of long- run average cost at this output level? What is the long run equilibrium price? (b) The market demand...

Two gas station owners (Kid and Play) have stations that are just across the street from one another. Each morning they must decide on a price without knowing what the other will do, and they are stuck with that price for the whole day. If they both price high, they each make $6,000 that day. If one prices high and the other prices low, the one with the high price makes $1,000 and the one with the low price makes...

Mr. Cherry owns a gas station on a highway in Vermont. In the afternoon hours, there are, on average, 30 cars per hour passing by the gas station that would like to refuel. However, because there are several other gas stations with similar prices on the highway, potential customers are not willing to wait—if they see that all of the pumps are occupied, they continue on down the road. The gas station has three pumps that can be used for...

Bilbo owns a gas station. He refills his gas tank once a day early in the morning. Historical data show that daily demand at his gas station is relatively stable and has mean = 1000 gallons and standard deviation = 200 gallons. His gas tank has a capacity of holding up-to 3000 gallons of gasoline so that is not an issue. Holding gasoline will occupy financial resources, though, and therefore Bilbo does not want to hold too much gasoline in...
