Hospitality Enterprises is planning to build a 112
room inn in Martin. The initial cost of land leases and
construction is anticipated to be $3.4 million. The annual
operating and maintenance costs are expected to average $25,000 for
the 20-year life of the inn. Every 4 years the interior of the inn
must be painted at a cost of $15,000. The exterior must be painted
and refurbished every 5 years at a cost of $60,000. The carpet and
furniture must be replaced every 6 years at a cost of $100,000.
Every 8 years $80,000 will be spent on paving and striping the
parking areas. The inn will have a net demolition cost of $100,000
at the end of its life. If the MARR for Hospitality is 5%,
determine the EUAC for the inn.
