During 2024, YellowCard constructed a small manufacturing facility specifically to manufacture one particular accessory. YellowCard paid the construction contractor $5,000,000 cash (which was the total contract price) and placed the facility into service on January 1, 2025. Because of technological change, YellowCard anticipates that the manufacturing facility will be useful for no more than 10 years. The local government where the facility is located required that, at the end of the 10-year period, YellowCard remediate the facility so that it can be used as a community center. YellowCard estimates the cost of remediation will be $500,000. YellowCard uses straight-line depreciation with $0 salvage value for its plant asset and a 10% discount rate for asset retirement obligations.

On April 30, 2020, Blue Spruce Corporation ordered a new passenger ship, which was delivered to the designated cruise port and available for use as of June 30, 2020. Overall, the cost of the ship was $97 million, with an estimated useful life of 12 years and residual value of $30 million. Blue Spruce expects that the new ship, as a whole, will provide its greatest economic benefits in its early years of operation. After further research and discussion with management, it is determined that the ship consists of major parts with differing useful lives, residual values, and patterns of providing economic benefits: Pattern of benefits Total output (nautical miles) 7 million Part Cost Useful life Residual value Engines (6) $955,000 per engine 8 years $120,000 per engine Varies with activity Hull $3,750,000 10 years $510.000 Highest in early years 7.70 million Body $87.52 million 15 years $16.06 million Evenly over life of body 12.20 million The ship's first voyage took place on August 1,…

Sheldon Coopers Lab Services (SCLS) is bidding upon a service contract to maintain and upgrade 5 of the University's science labs per year for the next six years. The contract will require purchasing $972,000 in equipment that will be depreciated using straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the project's life. The equipment can be sold for $325,000 at the end of the service contract. They will also need $140,000 in net working capital over the life of the contract. While performing the contract work, they expect to incur fixed costs of $500,000 per year and a variable cost of $226,000 per lab. They will also face a corporate tax rate of 21%. If the required rate of return is 15%, what is the minimum offer they can make per lab and still turn an economic profit?
