Nico · Answer 1

The $623,100 is the amount which should be used as the initial cash flow for this project

Explanation:

The computation of the initial cash flow is shown below:

= Estimated cost of a new facility on the site + market value of a lot

= $494,200 + $128,900

= $623,100

The asset value should be recorded in the market value so we took the estimated cost and the market value in the calculation part.

The other cost which is given in the question is irrelevant. Thus, it is not considered in the computation part.
