In order to provide drinking water as part of its 50-year plan, a west coast city is considering constructing a pipeline for importing water from a nearby community that has a plentiful supply of brackish ground water. a full-sized pipeline can be constructed at a cost of $122 million now. alternatively, a smaller pipeline can be constructed now for $80 million and enlarged 20 years from now for another $100 million. the pumping cost will be $25,000 per year higher for the smaller pipeline during the first 20 years, but will be approximately the same thereafter. both pipelines are expected to have the same useful life with no salvage value. (a) at an interest rate of 6% per year, which alternative is more economical? (b) write the spreadsheet function to display the pw for the smaller pipeline alternative.

Miko willingly admits that she is not an accountant by training. she is concerned that her balance sheet might not be correct. she has provided you with the following additional information. 1. the boat actually belongs to miko, not to skysong, inc.. however, because she thinks she might take customers out on the boat occasionally, she decided to list it as an asset of the company. to be consistent, she also listed as a liability of the corporation her personal loan that she took out at the bank to buy the boat. 2. the inventory was originally purchased for $27,500, but due to a surge in demand miko now thinks she could sell it for $39,600. she thought it would be best to record it at $39,600. 3. included in the accounts receivable balance is $11,000 that miko loaned to her brother 5 years ago. miko included this in the receivables of skysong, inc. so she wouldn’t forget that her brother owes her money. (b) provide a corrected balance sheet for skysong, inc.. (hint: to get the balance sheet to balance, adjust stockholders’ equity.) (list assets in order of liquidity.)
