Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a newmanufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. Thecompany bought some land 3 years ago for $4798465 in anticipationof using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the companyhas since decided to rent these facilities from a competitorinstead. If the land were sold today, the company would net$3848715. An engineer was hired to study the land at a cost of$823164, and her conclusion was that the land can support the newmanufacturing facility.
