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.

Last year, you and two friends from college purchased a food truck for $70,000 hoping to make
it big selling breakfast tacos. Your tacos were a big hit, and an investor made an offer to buy
your business (truck, name, and all equipment) for $100,000 today (2020). Over the next 5 years,
you project annual revenue to be $50,000 with operating costs of $10,000. Escalation of revenue
and operating costs are expected to be a washout. The MACRS depreciation class of the truck is
5-year property. Perform a DCFROR analysis assuming that the food truck cost is both a) sunk
and b) not sunk. The tax rate is 21%, and the after-tax hurdle rate is 15%. Should you and your
friends sell or develop your business?

GST) after which its useful life is extended by 2 more years. The

residual value remains unchanged.

The motor vehicle was sold for $30,000 (plus GST).

REQUIRED:

(a) Prepare the journal entry to record the purchase of the motor vehicle on 1 July 2015.

(b) Prepare the journal entry to record the service expense on 15 March 2018.

Please note that problem solving often requires you to consider additional requirements that are not specifically listed.

You are to write a Java program to represent cars.

  • The program has a Car class (Car.java) with constructors, accessors, mutators, and print methods.
  • This class should not have static data members or static methods. The main method will be in another class.
  • The data members include the car model year, make, model, retail price, and current value; for example, a 2020 Ford Mustang, retail of 28999, and current value 27500.
  • There are two constructors. One constructor should have arguments used to set the car make, model, model year, and retail price, but set the current value will to zero without using an argument. Another constructor should have arguments used to set all the data members. Name the arguments in both constructors the same as the data members.
  • There are accessors and mutators for each data member. The accessors will return the data member value. The mutators will sent the data member to a value passed in as an argument.
  • The print method will output the data members to the console. We will keep it simple by just putting the data member values on the same line with spaces between. For example:
2020 Ford Mustang 28999 27500

The program has a Driver class (Driver.java) with the main method. The main method:

  1. Instantiates an ArrayList of Cars and instantiates three Car objects (car1, car2, car3).
  2. Adds the Car objects to the ArrayList of Cars. After adding the cars to the ArrayList, all operations on the objects are done by accessing the methods through the ArrayList. In other words, do not use car1, car2, or car3 variables after the cars are added to the ArrayList.
  3. Change the current value of the third car to 10% less than its current value.
  4. Set the first car’s retail price to $30,000.
  5. Using a loop, printout the three cars using the ArrayList.

Monty Corp. had the following long-term receivable account balances at December 31, 2019.

Notes receivable $2,000,000
Notes receivable - Employees 350,000


Transactions during 2020 and other information relating to Monty' long-term receivables were as follows:

1. The $2,000,000 note receivable is dated May 1, 2019, bears interest at 9%, and represents the balance of the consideration received from the sale of Monty's electronics division to Sandhill Company. Principal payments of $666,667 plus appropriate interest are due on May 1, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The first principal and interest payment was made on May 1, 2020. Collection of the note instalments is reasonably assured.
2. The $350,000 note receivable is dated December 31, 2019, bears interest at 9%, and is due on December 31, 2022. The note is due from Marcia Cumby, president of Monty Corp., and is secured by 10,000 Monty common shares. Interest is payable annually on December 31, and the interest payment was made on December 31, 2020. The quoted market price of Monty's common shares was $50 per share on December 31, 2020.
3. On April 1, 2020, Monty sold a patent to Carla Vista Company in exchange for a $200,000 non–interest-bearing note due on April 1, 2022. There was no established exchange price for the patent, and the note had no ready market. The prevailing rate of interest for a note of this type at April 1, 2020, was 10%. The present value of $1 for two periods at 10% is 0.82645 (use this factor). The patent had a carrying amount of $43,000 at January 1, 2020, and the amortization for the year ended December 31, 2020 would have been $7,000. The collection of the note receivable from Carla Vista is reasonably assured.
4. On July 1, 2020, Monty sold a parcel of land to Teal Mountain Inc. for $220,000 under an instalment sale contract. Teal Mountain made a $54,000 cash down payment on July 1, 2020, and signed a four-year, 11% note for the $166,000 balance. The equal annual payments of principal and interest on the note will be $53,506, payable on July 1, 2021, through July 1, 2024. The land could have been sold at an established cash price of $210,000. Monty had paid $140,000 for the land when it purchased it. Collection of the instalments on the note is reasonably assured.
5. On August 1, 2020, Monty agreed to allow its customer, Saini Inc., to substitute a six-month note for accounts receivable of $210,000 it owed. The note bears interest at 6% and principal and interest are due on the note’s maturity date.
