You are working on a bid to landscape two city parks per year for the next three years. This project requires the purchase of $249,000 of equipment that will be depreciated using straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the three-year project life. Ignore bonus depreciation. The equipment can be sold at the end of the project for $115,000. You will also need $18,000 in net working capital for the duration of the project. The fixed costs will be $37,000 per year and the variable costs will be $148,000 per park. Your required rate of return is 14 percent and your tax rate is 21 percent. What is the minimal amount you should bid per park? (Round your answer to the nearest $100).
