The municipality of a major city in Quebec is planning to build a new bridge to decrease the traffic load on the existing bridges connecting both sides of the city across the river. Construction is to start in 2020 and is expected to take four years at a cost of $25 million per year. After construction is completed, the cost of operation and maintenance is expected to be $2.5 million for the first year and to increase by 2.8% per year thereafter. The scrap/salvage value of the bridge at the end of year 2053 is estimated to be $5 million. Consider the present to be the end of 2018/beginning of 2019 and the interest rate to be 8%.

a)   Draw a cash flow diagram for this project (from present till end of year 2053).
b)   Find the Present Worth of this project.
c)   Find the Future Worth of this project.

Hickory Company manufactures two products—13,000 units of Product Y and 5,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates all $813,600 of its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products Y and Z:

8. Which of the four activities is a product-level activity?

Product design activity

Machine setups activity

General factory activity

Machining activity

9. Using the ABC system, how much total manufacturing overhead cost would be assigned to Product Y? (Round all intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Oryx Electricity Generation Project (BOOT)

Capital Expenditure during construction period: 174 OMR/MWH (megawatt-hour). Depreciation on straight line basis over ten years such that book value at the end of ten years is zero.

Construction Period - 2 years: 40% in year 1 and 60% in year 2. Interest rate on construction loan is 12% per year. Commitment Fee charged by the bank is 0.5% per annum. (Assume that first year construction cost is spread equally over the 12 months in the first year, and second year construction cost is spread equally over the 12 months in the second year).

After construction the project will generate and sell electricity for ten years.

Revenue 57 OMR/MWH (annual revenue growth 1.5 % base case, can vary between 1.5% to 2.5%). MWH means megawatt per hour. Assume a year has 365 days and day has 24 hours

Input costs plus operating expenditure: 4 OMR/MWH ( annual inflation 1% base case, can vary between 1 to 3%)

Electricity generation capacity: 300 MWH. Expected Capacity utilization 90%.

Tax rate 20%. After ten years the project will be transferred to the government free of charge.

Calculate CFO, EBIT, EBITDA, NPV and IRR for the base case.

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) should be more than 1.5 in every year of operation. Sponsors expect a minimum Equity IRR of 20% and Lenders expect a minimum Debt IRR of 14%

An Ontario farmer owns two orchards, one near the lakeshore and one near the escarpment (a high cliff that runs south of Lake Ontario). He wants to find out if topography plays a role in the development of his apples. From the lakeshore orchard, he randomly collects 15 apples which have an average weight of 86g and a standard deviation of 7. From the escarpment orchard, he randomly collects 10 apples with an average weight of 80g and a standard deviation of 8. Is there a difference in the weight of the apples at both locations?

• Our role: as a non-profit organization, the Coalition for the Homeless in NYC.

• Focus area: Mott Haven, Bronx

• Partner: Comfort Inn & Suites in Bronx, Family Shelter in Bronx, Government

• Solution:

  • We’re partnering with Comfort Inn & Suites in Bronx to give a room for homeless people that we have data and information to stay on one of the room.

  • Group of homeless that priority: family with children, single mom with children, elderly (60+), disability people.

  • We’re asking Comfort Inn & Suites to give us at least 15 rooms (out of 84) during the low season and 7 rooms during the high season. Each room can accomodate 2 to 3 people. So we can put at least 45 homeless people for one night.

  • Asking special rate: Normal rate is around $142 → $49 on low season and $99 on high season (for us)

  • Who pay: we will pay monthly and ask government to subsidize our program at least half of the total cost. Asking local religious institution such as churches, synagogues or mosques to participate in our program.     

How we select homeless?

1. We work together with Family Shelter Bronx to get the information of homeless people who still sleep outside the shelter

2. Working closely with HOME-STAT to have information for people that need immediate place to rest such as homeless with medical issue or disability.

3. Before we send the homeless people, at the shelter, we will give them food, ask them to shower and change clothes and check their health.

4. After that, we send them to the Comfort Inn & Suites to stay there for 1 week

5. During 1 week period, our staff will help them to find shelters in Bronx area or NYC’s area

6. We will help the homeless people to apply job, SOTA, or affordable housing in the NYC’s area.

7. If we can’t put them in the shelter within 1 week period, we will continue to pay their hotel fee for another week.

How the process in the hotel?

1. We will send the information first to the hotel of how many homeless will stay and give them their informations.

2. Each homeless that we selected need to give their ID in the reception.

3. The front desk will give the key to homeless on the assign room.

4. In case, there is a damage in the hotel room, our organization will pay the damage.

5. Every day, our staff will check their conditions and also follow up the plan

Sam's Cat Hotel operates 5252 weeks per? year, 77 days per? week, and uses a continuous review inventory system. It purchases kitty litter for ?$10.7510.75 per bag. The following information is available about these bags. Refer to the standard normal table LOADING... for? z-values.

Demand = 100 bags/weeks

Order cost = $56/order

Annual Holding Cost = 30 percent of cost

Desired cycle-service level =99 percent Lead time = 2 weeks (14 working days)

Standard deviation of weekly demand = 10 bags

Current on-hand inventory is 315 bags with no open orders or backorders

d. The store currently uses a lot size of 495 bags (i.e, Q =495).

What is the annual holding cost of this policy? The annual holding cost is ??? (Enter your response and round to two decimal places)

What is the annual ordering cost? The annual ordering cost is ??? (Enter your respone and round to two decimal places)

Without calculating the EOQ, how can you conclude from these two calucations that the current lot size is too large? Select the correct answer from the multiple choice below.

A. When Q= 495, the annual holding cost is larger than the ordering cost, therefore Q is too large.

B. There is not enough information to determine this.

C. When Q=495, the annual holding cost is less then the ordering cost, therefore Q is too small.

D. Both quantiies are appropriate.

Please answer the following questions for section e.

e. What would be the annual cost saved by shifting from the 495 bag lot size to the EOQ?

The annual holding cost with the EOQ is ??? (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places)

The annual ordering cost with the EOQ is ??? (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, Sam's Cat Hotel saves ??? by shifting from the 495 bag lot size to the EOQ? (Enter your response rounded to the nearest two decimal places)
