During 2015, Sheridan Company purchased a building site for its proposed research and development laboratory at a cost of $50,000. Construction of the building was started in 2015. The building was completed on December 31, 2016, at a cost of $360,000 and was placed in service on January 2, 2017. The estimated useful life of the building for depreciation purposes was 20 years. The straight-line method of depreciation was to be employed, and there was no estimated residual value.

Management estimates that about 50% of the projects of the research and development group will result in long-term benefits (i.e., at least 10 years) to the corporation. The remaining projects either benefit the current period or are abandoned before completion. A summary of the number of projects and the direct costs incurred in conjunction with the research and development activities for 2017 appears below.

The council wants to construct the facilities that will maximize expected daily usage by the residents of the community subject to land and cost llimitations. The usage, cost, and land data for each facility are listed below. The community has $240,000 construction budget and 24 arces of land. Because the swimming pool and tennis center must be built on the same part ot the land parcel, however, only one of these two facilities can be constructed. Formulate an optimization mode to assist the council in making its decision. Q1) Define the decision variables for this problem. What type of vaiables must beused in this situation? Q2) Write out the objective function for this problem in terms of the decision variables defined above. Q3?Write out any constraints necessary for this problem in terms of the decision variables defined above. Q4) A very inluential citizens group has made it clear that it strongly prefers the athletic fielld to the gynnasim; thus the council will not approve the gymnasium unless the athletic field is also approved.

The bookstores, located in Houston, will require $8 million to construct and 15 employees to operate. Located in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the new Brookstones stores will cost $12 million to construct and 50 employees to operate across all stores.
Hudson Group will pledge 75.5 million in new construction and hire no more than 260 employees. Annually, Specialty stores are a 9.5 million operation, Newstands are a $2.4 million operation, bookstores are a 1.2 million operation and the new Brookstones stores net 3.3 million in volume and growing.
If Hudson Group wasnts to maximize it’s annual revenue, how many of each for brands should they build?

You have been asked by the president of the Farr Construction Company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new earth mover. The mover’s basic price is $200,000, and it would cost another $30,000 to modify it for special use. Assume that the mover falls into the MACRS 5-year class, it would be sold after 4 years for $60,000, and it would require an increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory) of $10,000. The earth mover would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $50,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm’s marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40 percent and the project’s cost of capital is 10 percent. Evaluate the project using the NPV rule and the IRR rule.
