The Titanic Shipbuilding Company has a noncancelable contract to build a small cargo vessel. Construction involves a cash outlay of $268,000 at the end of each of the next two years. At the end of the third year the company will receive payment of $620,000. Assume the IRR of this option exceeds the cost of capital.

The company can speed up construction by working an extra shift. In this case there will be a cash outlay of $580,000 at the end of the first year followed by a cash payment of $620,000 at the end of the second year. Use the IRR rule to show the (approximate) range of opportunity costs of capital at which the company should work the extra shift. (Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Enter the smallest percent first.)

The company should work the extra shift if the cost of capital is between _______% and _____%.

I know the first blank is 22.82%, I just can't figure out the second one.

Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago is considering a renovation that will improve some physical facilities at a cost of $1,800,000. Addition of new species will cost another $310,000. Additional maintenance, food, and animal care and replacement will cost $145,000 in the 1st year, increasing by 3 % each year thereafter. The zoo has been in operation since 1868 and is expected to continue indefinitely; however, it is common to use a 20-year planning horizon on all new investments. Salvage value on facilities after 20 years will be 40 % of initial cost. Interest is 7 %. An estimated 1.5 million visits per year are made to the zoo, and the cost remains free year-round. How much additional benefit per visit, on average, must the visitors perceive to justify the renovation? ..............$

Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to 2 decimal places. The tolerance is ±0.01.

Oriole Supply Company, a newly formed corporation, incurred the following expenditures related to Land, to Buildings, and to Machinery and Equipment.

Determine the amounts that should be debited to Land, to Buildings, and to Machinery and Equipment. Assume the benefits of capitalizing interest during construction exceed the cost of implementation. Company uses net method to record discount

A few years ago, the Boston Globe reported that the city of Boston planned to spend $14 million to convert the FleetCenter sports arena and entertainment center into an appropriate venue for the Democratic National Convention (DNC). The city engaged Shawmut Design and Construction in a contractual relationship to complete the work, which was supposed to start 48 days prior to the commencement of the DNC on July 26. However, when negotiations between Boston’s mayor and the police union broke down, the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association took to the picket lines surrounding the FleetCenter and prevented construction crews from beginning the work. The Globe reported that “a truck attempting to deliver steel turned around after a crowd of union members stood at a chain-link gate in front of the arena, shouting ‘back it up,’ and ‘respect the line, buddy.’” Moreover, the Globe reported that “On-duty police officers, who had been instructed to prevent pickets from restricting access, did not intervene.” Given the tight construction schedule, construction delays reportedly cost about $100,000 per day.

Identify the principal–agent problem in this situation. Did the mayor and the city of Boston face the classical “hold-up problem” or another problem? Explain.
