Question

Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 5 years ago for $9,639,708 in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $3,650,288. An engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of $810,081, and her conclusion was that the land can support the new manufacturing facility. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $6,880,840 million to build, and the site requires $529,656 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

the proper cash flow amount is $11,060,784

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the proper cash flow amount is shown below:

= land value + plant value + grading value

= $3,650,288 + 6,880,840 + $529,656

= $11,060,784

Hence, the proper cash flow amount is $11,060,784

So the same should be considered and relevant
