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.
Production costs for the four main U.S. coins went down in fiscal year 2014, but the penny is still costing American taxpayers more to make than itâs actually worth, according to the U.S. Treasuryâs December report to Congress. Producing one dollar in pennies costs the U.S. Treasury $1.66. Manufacturing a nickel also costs more than its face value, at $1.62 for every dollar of nickels funneled into the economy. As of 2013, the Treasury was incurring an annual deficit of about $105 million dollars on penny and nickel production.
