Assume that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. has decided to surface and maintain for 10 years a vacant lot next to one of its stores to ser

ve as a parking lot for customers. Management is considering the following bids involving two different qualities of surfacing for a parking area of 12,000 square yards.
Bid A: A surface that costs $5.75 per square yard to install. This surface will have to be replaced at the end of 5 years. The annual maintenance cost on this surface is estimated at 25 cents per square yard for each year except the last year of its service. The replacement surface will be similar to the initial surface.
Bid B: A surface that costs $10.50 per square yard to install. This surface has a probable useful life of 10 years and will require annual maintenance in each year except the last year, at an estimated cost of 9 cents per square yard.

Required:
Prepare computations showing which bid should be accepted by Wal-Mart. You may assume that the cost of capital is 9%, that the annual maintenance expenditures are incurred at the end of each year, and that prices are not expected to change during the next 10 years.

Answer:

Bid A should be accepted

Explanation:

Bid A:

initial investment = $5.75 x 12,000 = -$69,000

cash flows years 1 - 4 = $0.25 x 12,000 = -$3,000

cash flow year 5 = -$69,000

cash flows years 6 - 9 = $0.25 x 12,000 = -$3,000

NPV using a 9% discount rate = -$129,881.21

Bid B:

initial investment = $10.50 x 12,000 = -$126,000

cash flows years 1 - 9 = $0.09 x 12,000 = -$1,080

NPV using a 9% discount rate = -$132,474.87

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Explicit costs - $51,000

Explicit costs are those for which a person incurs in actual spending of money. In this case, Christine had to pay $15,000 in wages, and $36,000 in rent ($3,000 x 12). These are expenses that she had to pay money for, and that had to be accounted for in the accounting books, and in the financial statements. These are in other words, explicit costs.

Implicit costs - $40,000

Implicit costs are simply the opportunity costs. An opportunity cost is the cost of the next more valuable alternative when faced with two or more options. No money is paid for this costs. The implicit costs for Christine were the $40,000 that she not receive as wages if she had continued working at a real state firm.
