5. Bullock Gold Mining is evaluating a new gold mine in South Dakota. All of the analysis has been done and the CFO has forecast some of the relevant cash flow information. If BGM opens the mine, it will cost S635 million today (Time 0) and it will have a cash outflow nine years from today (Time 9) of $45 million in costs related to closing the mine and reclaiming the area around. Of the initial costs, BGM will depreciate $500 million over 8 years using straight line method. Expected earnings before taxes for the eight years of operation are shown below. BGM has a required rate of return for all of its gold mines of 12%. Earnings before taxes (in $1,000s): 2 5 37,857.14 | 60,714.29 | 96,428.57 | 157,857.1 | 203,571.4 | 132,142.9 | 117,857.1 | 85,000.00 3 6 | 7 8 a) Find the relevant cash flows for each of the relevant periods (Time 0 – Time 9). Operating cash flows for Time 1-8 should include: Earnings before taxes Taxes (30%) Net Income Depreciation Free Cash flows b) Calculate the NPV, IRR and Payback Period for the cash flows and indicate whether BGM should pursue the mining project or not.

You are considering constructing a new plant in a remote wilderness area to process the ore from a planned mining operation. You anticipate that the plant will take a year to build and cost $104 million upfront. Once built, it will generate cash flows of $18 million per year starting two years from today. In 21 years, after its 20th year of operation, the mine will run out of ore and you expect to pay $256 million to shut the plant down and restore the area to its pristine state. Using a cost of capital of 13%: a. What is the NPV of the project? b. Is using the IRR rule reliable for this project? Explain. c. What are the IRRs of this project? a. What is the NPV of the project?
