The Williamston Wingnuts minor league hockey team is considering building a new arena in Downtown Williamston. They have decided they will only build the arena if it will be Net Present Value positive based on 5 years of cash flows. The team’s accounting department has compiled the following costs: $2,000,000 for the land the arena would be built on. They bought this land in 2010. Construction costs of $28,000,000 $50,000 for a marketing study conducted last year to determine whether more fans would come to the games if they built a new arena. $50,000 for new signage in front of the building and around the city that will only be needed if the arena is built. $500 for a trip taken by team management to see the Portland (Mich.) Puckheads’ new arena at a game last season to gather design ideas. $50,000 for street lights in the parking lot and on Grand River Ave. that will only be needed if the arena is built. $100,000 in additional Net Working Capital will be needed at the beginning of the project, 60% of which will be recovered at the end of the project.

Suppose you win a small lottery and have the choice of two ways to be paid: you can accept the money in a lump sum or in a series of payments over time. if you pick the lump sum, you get $2,950 today. if you pick payments over time, you get three payments: $1,000 today, $1,000 1 year from today, and $1,000 2 years from today. 1) at an interest rate of 6% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 2) at an interest rate of 9% per year, the winner would be better off accepting the (lump sum / payments over time), since it has the greater present value. 3) years after you win the lottery, a friend in another country calls to ask your advice. by wild coincidence, she has just won another lottery with the same payout schemes. she must make a quick decision about whether to collect her money under the lump sum or the payments over time. what is the best advice to give your friend? a) the lump sum is always better. b) the payments over time are always better. c) it will depend on the interest rate; advise her to get a calculator. d) none of these answers is good advice.
