Construction Costs- (Continued from Page 24) Chart B illustrates the range of actual golf course con-struction costs (rounded to the nearest $100,000) for an upscale project, along with the median and the mean. The chart demonstrates a wide range in costs from a low of $3,900,000 to a high of $16,100,000.olf course construction includes grading and site preparation costs, and grow-in (also known as maturation). As an example, assume that the total project costs are $14 million, based on typical ratios, approx- 25% to 30% Buildings & Equip.
Production at a loss â As of 2013, it costs about 1.8 cents to mint a penny. In 2007, the price of the raw materials from which it was made exceeded the face value, so there was a risk that coins were illegally melted down for raw materials.
Thanks to rising metal prices, since 2006 the U.S. Mint has had to spend more money to produce and distribute nickels and pennies than the coins are actually worth. How much more? About 1.7 cents to make a penny and 8 cents to make a nickel, according to a new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office. That in turn has reduced the overall profits the federal government realizes from making and circulating new coins in the economy.
