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 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 $10.8 million if it were sold today. The company now wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $22 million to build, and the site requires $950,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction. Required: What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when evaluating this project?

Explanation / Answer

Cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets = $10.8 million + $22 million+ $0.95 million

= $33.75 million
