Logan Green decided to build an earth friendly home. He owned the land, but had to seek financing to cover the cost of construction. Conglomerate Mortgage Company offered him a construction loan where no payments were made until one month after the certificate of occupancy was issued. After that the loan would convert to a standard 30 year fixed rate mortgage. Logan borrowed a lump sum of $440500 at 4% per year compounded monthly. Logan received his certificate of occupancy exactly 12 months after taking out the loan. What are his monthly payments? $  
How much interest does he pay in the first full year of making payments? $

A portable concrete test instrument used in construction for evaluating and profiling concrete surfaces (MACRS-GDS 5-year property class) is under consideration by a construction firm for $18,500. The instrument will be used for 6 years and be worth $3,000 at that time. The annual cost of use and maintenance will be $13,000. Alternatively, a more automated instrument (same property class) available from the manufacturer costs $32,500, with use and maintenance costs of only $5,500 and salvage value after 6 years of $1,500. The marginal tax rate is 40%, and MARR is an after-tax 12%.

Determine which alternative is less costly, based upon comparison of after-tax annual worth.

The Titanic Shipbuilding Company has a noncancelable contract to build a small cargo vessel. Construction involves a cash outlay of $270,000 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 $584,000 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 state government of Perak has recently announced the building of a suspension bridge between Pulau Pangkor and Peninsular Malaysia. The construction cost of the bridge is estimated at RM100 million and this 4-lane bridge will take approximately 3 years to complete. This infrastructure project is expected to encounter many technical challenges and require the involvement of various parties, particularly engineers of different disciplines and expertise. Predict engineering-related ethical issues that may possibly occur during the construction of the suspension bridge. Discuss on the root causes of each ethical issue you have identified. Finally, propose the efforts that can be duly taken by a professional engineer to prevent the ethical issues you have mentioned.

A new cement mixing truck can be purchased for $100,000 and will have a salvage value of $50,000 at the end of 5 years. The cost of concrete mix for the truck is $100 per cubic yard. Alternatively, the construction company can pay $105 per cubic yard to have concrete delivered by a third party.

Assume the construction company can order the concrete mix or delivery for the whole year on their account, and pay the full balance at the end of each year. At an interest rate of 10% per year, the minimum cubic yards of concrete that must be used each year to justify the purchase of a truck is closest to:

1. 1,050
2. 2,650
3. 3,650
4. 5,550

The answer is C. Why?

I need an explanation.

Suppose that: (i) the construction industry is perfectly competitive; (ii) male and female construction workers are equally productive; and (iii) all male construction workers are prejudiced against female construction workers. In the equilibrium in the labor market for construction workers, one would expect:
