Question 8[5 marks]
The Kroger Company is evaluating an investment project that will convert a vacant lot in Central Texas it owns to a warehousing and distribution center. The company acquired the property at a price of $30 million ten years ago. The new distribution center has a useful life of 20 years and will cost Kroger $60 million upfront. Once it is built, no other investment is required. The firm is currently evaluating the project. While analyzing various factors, however, Kroger has realized that there has been a strong demand for this vacant lot: The Disney Parks & Resorts Company, inter alia, is interested in leasing the land for $8 million per year for 20 years.
Required: Determine the sum of the present values of incremental costs that should enter the Krogers analysis. Assume that a discount rate of 10% applies to its valuation.
