The cost to build the motel is estimated at $1,920,000; Value Lodges estimates furnishings for the motel will cost an additional $240,000 and will require replacement every 5 years. Annual operating and maintenance costs for the motel are estimated to be $600,000. The average rental rate for a unit is anticipated to be $20/day. Value Lodges expects the motel to have a life of 15 years and a salvage value of $900,000 at the end of 15 years. This estimated salvage value assumes that the furnishings are not new.
