Question

Marshall's & Co. purchased a corner lot in Eglon City five years ago at a cost of $640,000. The lot was recently appraised at $670,000. At the time of the purchase, the company spent $30,000 to grade the lot and another $3,200 to build a small building on the lot to house a parking lot attendant who has overseen the use of the lot for daily commuter parking. The company now wants to build a new retail store on the site. The building cost is estimated at $1,110,000. What amount should be used as the initial cash flow for this building project?'

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,780,000

Explanation:

The computation of the initial cash flow for this building project is shown below:

= Estimated building cost + appraised cost of the lot

= $1,110,000 + $670,000

= $1,780,000

Simply we added the estimated building cost and the appraised cost of the lot so that the initial cash flow amount can come.
