Capital Expenditures Budget

On August $1,20$Y$4,$ the controller of Handy Dan Tools Inc. is planning capital expenditures for the years $20$Y$520$Y$8.$ The controller interviewed several Handy Dan executives to collect the necessary information for the capital expenditures budget. Excerpts of the interviews are as follows:

Director of Facilities: A construction contract was signed in May $20$Y$4$ for the construction of a new factory building at a contract cost of $$9,000,000.$ The construction is scheduled to begin in $20$Y$5$ and completed in $20$Y$6.$

Vice President of Manufacturing: Once the new factory building is finished, we plan to purchase $$3\mathrm{.}6$ million in equipment in late $20$Y$6.$ I expect that an additional $$500,000$ will be needed early in the following year $(20$Y$7)$ to test and install the equipment before we can begin production. If sales continue to grow, I expect we'll need to invest another half million in equipment in $20$Y$8.$

Vice President of Marketing: We have really been growing lately. I wouldn't be surprised if we need to expand the size of our new factory building in $20$Y$8$ by at least $25\%.$ Fortunately, we expect inflation to have minimal impact on construction costs over the next four years. Additionally, I would expect the cost of the expansion to be proportional to the size of the expansion.

Director of Information Systems: We need to upgrade our information systems to wireless network technology. It doesn't make sense to do this until after the new factory building is completed and producing product. During $20$Y$7,$ once the factory is up and running, we should equip the whole facility with wireless technology. I think it would cost us $$400,000$ today to install the technology. However, prices have been dropping by $10\%$ per year, so it should be less expensive at a later date.

President: I am excited about our long$-$term prospects. My only short$-$term concern is financing the $$5,000,000$ of construction costs on the portion of the new factory building scheduled to be completed in $20$Y$5.$
