I missed a class and I've been able to figure out every of my other homework except this question. I dont know where to even start. Any help would be so much help to me. Thanks Teradene Corporation purchased land as a factory site and contracted with Maxtor Construction to construct a factory. Teradene made the following expenditures related to the acquisition of the land, building, and machinery to equip the factory: Purchase price of the land $ 1,200,000 Demolition and removal of old building 80,000 Clearing and grading the land before construction 150,000 Various closing costs in connection with acquiring the land 42,000 Architect's fee for the plans for the new building 50,000 Payments to Maxtor for building construction 3,250,000 Machinery purchased 860,000 Freight charges on machinery 32,000 Trees, plants, and other landscaping 45,000 Installation of a sprinkler system for the landscaping 5,000 Cost to build special platforms and install wiring for the machinery 12,000 Cost of trial runs to ensure proper installation of the machinery 7,000 flame and theft insurance on the factory for the first year of use 24,000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to the over expenditures, Teradene purchased four forklifts from Caterpillar. In payment, Teradene paid $16,000 cash and signed a noninterest-bearing note requiring the payment of $70,000 in one year. An interest rate of 7% properly reflects the time value of money for this type of loan. Required: Determine the initial valuation of each of the assets Teradene acquired in the over transactions. (Use Table 2.) (Round "PV Factor" to 5 decimal places and final answers to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Resolved Question: I have an old friend from college that designs, builds, and sells structures. Does this sound good to you?

I have an old pal from college that designs, builds, and sells buildings and bridges. He’s an engineer and architect, with every the degrees. Given the opportunities in New York City around the new World Trade middle, he has 3 design projects in the works - including one park bridge. The park is owned by the neighborhood committee, and is reserved for residents of the riverside area. There is fishing and boating allowed, but no swimming. The bridge becomes a vital necessity to the neighborhood residents, so that they can steer easily to the marina - which is actually located in New Jersey - and receive to their boats. The neighborhood design committee has already purchased the land and began construction on the dwellings, as well as the park pavilion. The bridge project will have to proceed or the neighborhood housing project will fall through with only half a park. The design committee is locked into paying for my pal's architectural design. The only problem is, the neighborhood designers do not have enough funds to finish building every the projected houses in the neighborhood. In order to complete the project, the design committee would have to sell more housing in the neighborhood in advance of being built. Essentially, they need investors who are actually homebuyers. (Homebuyers that pay in advance of work.) The private neighborhood is nice, complete with the park and marina, and the bridge between them. I've seen the design layouts and plans. It even has a pedestrian walkway that is nice enough and big enough to use for fishing, or to bicycle on. The homes themselves are built to design through planning with the neighborhood design committee. The lots range from four to eight acres in size. The best part is, every of this land is going for cheap - basically cost the designers have already paid, plus 7.8%. The materials to build homes are also costing investors very little mark up, and are coming in at close wholesale prices. The labor costs end up being washed up among the entire neighborhood, because they need it finished. So the more you want in the home, the more you keep. (The basic unit for any home in the neighborhood is a raised ranch with an extended family room addition and a one car garage.) Sitting on four acres, this would cost only $163,000. The homes for sale include the 4 acre lot, which is groomed and landscaped. The ranch, which with the addition (built off the rear of the structure) also has a front patio and rear deck. Sheds are not allowed in the neighborhood unless they are designed, approved, and constructed through the neighborhood committee – such as when they are built – so the initial starter home does have an outdoor storage unit attached to the rear of the garage. Central air, forced air heating, electric appliances included. Plus each home in the neighborhood will have private access to the park on their side of the river. (The marina is open to the public for rental of dock space and daily use.) Neighborhood residents have docking fees and marina membership at no cost. The bridge itself, like the actual roadways through the neighborhood, are town property – between the two towns of the two states. Home buyers will live on a private roadway that loops from the town road, and connects to the park. So, to sum this up, if you are interested, or know anyone, for $163,000… I know someone that sells bridges.

how do you know if you are talented in painting? I receive the word a lot but im now trying to find out what it means, to be honest i just paint what i feel. im 21 and i started to paint like 2 years ago and 3 paintings made local papers, i had the chance to show a painting to a congressman, also i never took any painting classes but i did take design and color where it was mostly book work, learning color theory and thats when i started to mess around with the brush at first i was scared to paint but then i felt like it was normal like as if i was talking to someone I have known for a while, i met a couple of architects that told me that if i wanted to pursue architecture, that the skills with drawing and painting will help me out a lot and i really didn't put any mind to it, but now that i am in architecture school i feel that they were right, drawing and drafting doing watercolor sketches, using ink it every comes natural now, i am in my first semester of architecture and i feel like drafting is where i can be myself, painting is my adore tho..in the last year I met my mentor he is a fine artist that paints landscapes, he has taken me more in depth with mixing colors and brush techniques, and just last year i had my first solo exhibition, just after a year of starting to paint. But i wanna know what is talent? i think i am more disciplined with my passion thats it. My question is, to what extent or how do you define talent? Is it the same as gift?

Resolved Question: How important is grad school quality in getting hired as a landscape architect?

I'm planning to go to grad school to receive my Masters in Landscape Architecture. The only schools I'm considering are Temple and the University of Pennsylvania because I want to stay in Philadelphia. I could probably receive into both schools, but I have a dilemma: Temple is much cheaper, and I could start this fall because it has tardy application deadlines. However, the program is only in the process of getting accredited and is very new. (It would be accredited by the time I graduate.) UPenn is obviously a very prestigious school, but it's more expensive, and I have already missed the deadlines to apply for this fall. The thought of spending another year in my current soul-crushing job is almost unbearable. Would I be hurting my chances of finding employment after I graduate by choosing the less-prestigious school because it's more convenient, or are employers only interested that you graduate from an accredited program? Any insight is appreciated but especially that that is specific to landscape architecture. Thanks!
