Question

Kenny, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park. The company bought some land six years ago for $8.4 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent facilities elsewhere. The land would net $11.2 million if it were sold today. The company now wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $22.4 million to build, and the site requires $990,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?

Answer 1

Answer:

$34,590,000

Explanation:

Kenny incorporation is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South park

The company purchased some lands six years ago $8.4 million

The land will net $11.2 million if sold today

The plant will cost $22.4 million to build

The site requires $990,000 worth of grading before construction

Therefore the proper cash flow can be calculated as follows

= opportunity costs + costs + upgradation

= $11,200,000 + $22,400,000 + $990,000

= $34,590,000

Hence the proper cash flow is $34,590,000
