A commercial building design cost $89/square-foot to construct eight years ago (for an 83,000-square-foot building). This construction cost has increased 5.5% per year since then. Presently, your company is considering construction of a 130,000-square-foot building of the same design. The cost capacity factor is X = 0.93. In addition, it is estimated that working capital will be 6% of construction costs, and that project management, engineering services, and overhead will be 4.3%, 9%, and 32%, respectively, of construction costs. Also, it is estimated that annual expenses in the first year of operation will be $6/square foot, and these are estimated to increase 5.66% per year thereafter. The future general inflation rate is estimated to be 8.69% per year, and the market-based MARR = 12% per year (im).

The estimated capital investment is $ 10 million. (Round to two decimal places.) b. Based on a before-tax analysis, what is the PW for the first 10 years of ownership of the building? PW = $ 10 million (Round to two decimal places.) c. What is the AW for the first 10 years of ownership in real dollars (R$)? Assume the base year to be the current year (b= 0). AW = $ 10 million (Round to two decimal places.) A commercial building design cost $89/square-foot to construct eight years ago (for an 83,000-square-foot building).
