Transactions during 2021 were as follows:

On January 2, 2021, machinery and equipment were purchased at a total invoice cost of $260,000, which included a $5,500 charge for freight. Installation costs of $27,000 were incurred.

On March 31, 2021, a small storage building was donated to the company. The person donating the building originally purchased it three years ago for $25,000. The fair value of the building on the day of the donation was $17,000

On May 1, 2021, expenditures of $50,000 were made to repave parking lots at Pell's plant location. The work was necessitated by damage caused by severe winter weather. The repair doesn't provide future benefits beyond those originally anticipated

The city of Miami has received a proposal to build a new multipurpose outdoor sports stadium....

The city of Miami has received a proposal to build a new multipurpose outdoor sports stadium. The expected life of the stadium is 20 years. It will be financed by a 20-year industrial development bond that will require a payment of 8 percent interest annually. The stadium’s primary tenant will be the city’s Triple-A baseball team, the Mudhawks.

The plan’s backers anticipate that the new facility will also be used for rock concerts and college and high school sports events. The city does not pay any taxes. The city’s cost of capital is 8 percent. The costs and estimated revenues generated from the facility are presented as follows:

Cash Outflows

Construction costs

$12,000,000

General maintenance (including labor)

$250,000 per year

Cash Inflows

Mudhawks’ lease payment

$650,000 per year

Concerts

$600,000 per year

College and high school sports

$50,000 per year

Required:

a.

Scenario A - Determine if it is advisable for the city to build the new stadium under the assumption that the Mudhawks will not leave if the city does not build the new stadium? State your reasoning (Assume payments are made at the end of the year.)

b.

Scenario B – Assume now that the Mudhawks have threatened to move out of Miami if they do not get a new stadium. The city controller estimates that the move will cost the city $350,000 per year for 10 years in lost taxes, parking, and other fees. Should the city build the stadium now? State your reasoning.

A large manufacturing company in Jubail is considering an electric power plant project in order to save on their electric power consumption by generating its own power supply. The company currently uses 552,000 kW of electric energy a year and pays an average of $3.05 per kwh. The construction of the power plant would require an initial cost of $1,600,000 now plus an additional $950,000 investment at the end of the first year. It is expected to be operational for 10 years with an estimated residual value of $160,000 at the end of the 11th year. Since the installation of the project would take about one year, the annual benefit (in terms of savings) as well as the annual costs would occur only starting at the end of the second year. At that time, the annual operation and maintenance cost is estimated at $750,000 and expected to increase by 5% annually until the end of its useful life. As the capacity of the power plant would be more than adequate what the company needed, the excess energy could be supplied to the neighboring establishments from the fifth year up to the end of the productive life of the project, thereby creating an additional income of $105,000 per year.
Suppose MARR=15%, evaluate this project proposal using all relevant and applicable project assessment tools and techniques. Based on the analysis results, write a detailed recommendation report explaining and justifying your decision whether the project proposal should be accepted or rejected.

Mildred and Craig are neighbors in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. They each own a two-story building. Mildred has a greenhouse on top of her building – in this greenhouse, she grows organic peppers which she sells at the local farmers’ market every Saturday. Each organic pepper cost her $.50 to grow. Every Sunday, at the farmers’ market, Mildred can expect to sell 100 peppers at $2 a piece. Yesterday, Mildred received a notice from the city of Ft. Lauderdale informing her that construction was about to begin on Craig’s building – Craig had received a permit from the city which allowed him to add a third story onto his building. After upkeep and maintenance expenses of $50 a week, Craig expects to rent out the third story for $100 a week. Mildred is upset at the prospect of Craig adding a third story to his building because the third story will block the sunlight which her peppers need to grow. Without sunlight, Mildred expects that on average each pepper will still cost her $.50 to grow; however, the number of peppers she can sell at the farmers’ market for $2 will fall to 40.

A. How can the externality be internalized? (NOTE: I want a detailed analysis of each economic actor’s choice calculus. And, think in terms of a weekly payment.)
