Nelson Mfg. owns a manufacturing facility that is currently sitting idle. The facility is located on a piece of land that originally cost $159,000. The facility itself cost $1,390,000 to build. As of now, the book value of the land and the facility are $159,000 and $458,000, respectively. The firm owes no debt on either the land or the facility at the present time. The firm received a bid of $1,700,000 for the land and facility last week. The firm's management rejected this bid even though they were told that it is a reasonable offer in today's market. If the firm was to consider using this land and facility in a new project, what cost, if any, should it include in the project analysis? 
 
A. 
$0

B. 
$617,000

C. 
$1,460,000

D. 
$1,700,000

E. 
$1,619,000
Relevant cost = $1,700,000

Cool Comfort currently sells 300 Class A spas, 450 Class C spas, and 200 deluxe model spas each year. The firm is considering adding a mid-class spa and expects that if it does it can sell 375 of them. However, if the new spa is added, Class A sales are expected to decline to 225 units while the Class C sales are expected to decline to 200. The sales of the deluxe model will not be affected. Class A spas sell for an average of $12,000 each. Class C spas are priced at $6,000 and the deluxe model sells for $17,000 each. The new mid-range spa will sell for $8,000. What is the value of the erosion? 
 
A. 
$600,000

B. 
$1,200,000

C. 
$1,800,000

D. 
$2,400,000

E. 
$3,900,000
Erosion = [(300 - 225) × $12,000] + [(450 - 200) × $6,000] = $2,400,000

Jefferson & Sons is evaluating a project that will increase annual sales by $145,000 and annual cash costs by $94,000. The project will initially require $110,000 in fixed assets that will be depreciated straight-line to a zero book value over the 4-year life of the project. The applicable tax rate is 32 percent. What is the operating cash flow for this project? 
 
A. 
$11,220

B. 
$29,920

C. 
$43,480

D. 
$46,480

E. 
$46,620
OCF = ($145,000 - $94,000)(1 - 0.32) + ($110,000/4)(0.32) = $43,480
