7. Copper Mines, Inc (CMI) . purchased property for the purpose of extracting copper ore. CMl paid $3,500,000 for the property plus $100,000 closing costs. CMl estimates it will be able to extract 800,000 tons of copper ore from the property over the next 10 years. The actual number of tons of copper ore extracted during the next ten years are as follows: 95,000 tons each in years 1,2,3; 80,000 tons each of years 4,5,6&7; and 75,000 tons each of years 8,9,& 10. It is believed that after 10 years the extractable ore will have been removed and the land will be useful for cattle grazing with an estimated value of $200,000. What is the amount of expense related to the ore extraction to be recognized for year 8? a) b) c) d) e) 318,750 330,000 340,000 350,000 360,000
3.XYZ drilling company purchased a high-end CNC milling center at $500,000 two years ago. The expected life of this machine is 10 years and the salvage value at that time $100,000. The company has done a major upgrading for the CNC machine last year, costed $15,000. The company has also spent $150,000 on its material handling system including a docking station, a rotation table, two pallets and an automatic loading/unloading robot arm. The CNC operating cost is $45,000 per year. Due to the recent oil price down turn this year, the company is contemplating to change the business to truck repair, and considering to replace the said CNC machine with a truck repair elevation platform. The current market value for the CNC machine is $250,000; while the supporting machinery would be valued very little, only $10,000, due to their specific functionality and the bad economy situation.What is the total sunk cost related to this replacement decision?

Ten investors invested an amount of P 75 million each for coal mining at Sierra Madre Mountain. It is expected that the mine contains 5, 000, 000 tons of coal ores and due to latest technology, it can mine 125, 000 tons of unprocessed ores. The management expects an annual expenses of P 35 million, an annual miscellaneous expenses of P 12 million and milling, drilling and other procedural expenses yearly costs P 815 per ton of unprocessed ores of coal. After such process, 85% of the coal ores produces an income of P 1, 750 per ton. a) Find the annual depletion cost of the mine. b) Ten years after operation, the management annual expenses decreases an amount of P 4 million, annual miscellaneous expenses becomes P13 million and procedural expenses becomes P 920 per ton of unprocessed ores. After procedural process, 75% of unprocessed ores produces an income of P 1, 850 per ton. What would then be its average depletion cost annually for the remaining years of the mine?

1. Howell Petroleum is considering a new project that complements its existing business. The machine required for the project costs $3.82 million. The marketing department predicts that sales related to the project will be $2.52 million per year for the next four years, after which the firm expects to sell it for $500,000. The machine is a five-year class asset and will be depreciated down to zero over five years under the straight-line method. Cost of goods sold and operating expenses related to the project are predicted to be 25 percent of sales. Howell also needs to add net working capital of $200,000 immediately. The additional net working capital will be recovered in full at the end of the project’s life. The corporate tax rate is 35 percent. The required rate of return (or discount rate) for the project is 12.5 percent. Compute the NPV, IRR, and payback period of the project. The firm’s acceptable payback period is 3 years. Is this project acceptable to the firm?

In 2021, the Marion Company purchased land containing a mineral mine for $1,800,000. Additional costs of $920,000 were incurred to develop the mine. Geologists estimated that 400,000 tons of ore would be extracted. After the ore is removed, the land will have a resale value of $120,000. To aid in the extraction, Marion built various structures and small storage buildings on the site at a cost of $208,000. These structures have a useful life of 10 years. The structures cannot be moved after the ore has been removed and will be left at the site. In addition, new equipment costing $109,000 was purchased and installed at the site. Marion does not plan to move the equipment to another site, but estimates that it can be sold at auction for $5,000 after the mining project is completed. In 2021, 70,000 tons of ore were extracted and sold. In 2022, the estimate of total tons of ore in the mine was revised from 400,000 to 499,000. During 2022, 109,000 tons were extracted. Required: 1.
