Your project team has been tasked to complete a project to build a new bridge to replace an old one on a road at a point that crosses a small river in a rural community. The old bridge to be replaced is on a single access road to the community and was recently damaged by heavy vehicles crossing it for a construction work in the village. The old bridge is still in use but has failed in the mid-section and can collapse in anytime – the project is therefore urgent from a safety point of view. The bridge is used by both vehicles and pedestrians at all times of the year. The community had petitioned the local council for support in replacing the old bridge but the response had been slow. A private company took the initiative and is replacing the bridge at their expense and has hired you and your team to manage the replacement project.

The city of Papagos, Arizona, had a deteriorating bridge in need of repair on a prominent public roadway. The city posted notices seeking proposals for an artistic bridge design and reconstruction. Davidson Masonry, LLC, which was owned and managed by Carl Davidson and his wife, Marilyn Rowe, decided to submit a bid to create a decorative concrete structure that incorporated artistic metalwork. They contacted Shana Lafayette, a local sculptor who specialized in large-scale metal creations, to help them design the bridge. The city selected their bridge design and awarded them the contract for a commission of $184,000.Davidson Masonry and Lafayette then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Davidson Masonry agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Lafayette agreed to install the metalwork at her expense. They agreed that overall profits would be split, with 25 percent going to Lafayette and 75 percent going to Davidson Masonry.…

Russell Forest Products Limited needed to upgrade a burner at its sawmill in Cochrane, Ontario, to comply with the new air pollution standards. The new burner, which is used to burn the scrap wood from its sawing operations, will not only reduce the amount of pollution, but will supply heat for the plant facility, including the wood dryer. In order to encourage Russell Forest Products Limited in its compliance with the stan- dards, the Province of Ontario extended an interest-free loan of $400,000 on December 31, 2011. The only conditions in obtaining the interest-free loan are that the loan proceeds be applied directly to the construction costs and that the loan be repaid in full on December 31, 2019. RussellForest Products Limited borrowed the remaining funds from the bank for the construction of the burner and will be paying interest at the rate of 7% per year. Instructions (a) Discuss the issues related to obtaining the interest-free loan from the Province of Ontario. (b)…
The following items pertain to possible provisions: a. A company uses a part manufactured in Germany in its automobile manufacturing plant. There has been a concern about the failure of this part in cars manufactured in Germany. No failures have occurred to date in Canada. The company decided to do a voluntary recall of all cars manufactured with this part. The recall is 40% complete and has cost $1,250,000 to date. b. A company self-insures for floods. That is, it pays no insurance but is liable to replace assets lost through flood damage. No losses have been incurred this year, but there have been $225,000 of losses in most other years, and the company is concerned that there might well be $450,000 of losses next year, evening out the pattern. c. A company offers a three-year guarantee over parts and labour for products sold to ensure that parts work as expected. There were no payments this year, and only 5% of products sold this year are expected to need repairs in the next year.…
When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, there was a significant loss of aquarium fish at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas. FEMA originallystated that the aquarium needed to buy the fish from commercial vendors, a method the agency said would cost $616,849 but would comply with disaster aid laws. FEMA later reversed their decision and allowed the aquarium staff to catch the fish themselves at a total cost of $99,766. If it is assumed that the aquarium staff spent the $99,766 equally over a 12-month period of time, what rate of return per month did their effort represent? Assume FEMA would have given the aquarium the $616,849 at the end of month 12.

The Stone River Textile Mill was inspected by OSHA and found to be in violation of a number of safety regulations. The OSHA inspectors ordered the mill to alter some existing machinery to make it safer (e.g., add some safety guards); purchase some new machinery to replace older, dangerous machinery; and relocate some machinery to make safer passages and unobstructed entrances and exits. OSHA gave the mill only 35 weeks to make the changes; if the changes were not made by then, the mill would be fined $300,000. The mill determined the activities that would have to be completed and then estimated the indicated activity times, as shown in the table below.

residential client hired a general contractor (GC) to construct a major $3 million executive home. The client contracted separately with a reputable architect for the design. After the permit was obtained, the architect’s contract was closed out. During the course of construction, the owner and the city had requested several changes, but none of them were formalized into the contract. Many of these were additive but some were also deductive changes. Many of the changes were due to building code changes. Because the general contractor understood this to be a time and materials (T&M) project, they had not felt it was necessary to submit change orders against a “budgeted” amount. The GC had previously invoiced and received 67% of the original budget, or $2 million, from the owner. These invoices were all reviewed and approved by the lender. At approximately 90% completion, the GC invoiced the owner for the full 100% amount of the original $3 million estimate. When pressed, the GC…
QUESTION Furnaces Pty Ltd was advised by a local building inspector that one of the chimneys on its premiseswas unsafe and, unless it was repaired, the factory would have to be closed. Furnaces decided thatit was not feasible to stop operations to repair the chimney, so they gained permission to build analternative chimney adjacent to the old chimney, thereby allowing production to continue. They foundthat although the new chimney was substantially the same size and make as the old one, it wascheaper to build than it would have been to repair the old one. Also, the new chimney can betterventilate the weather, which was not available in the previous one. After the new chimney waserected, the old chimney was demolished.Is any amount allowable as a deduction for the cost of the new chimney?
