Jackpot Mining Company operates a copper mine in central Montana. The company paid $1,300,000 in 2021 for the mining site and spent an additional $660,000 to prepare the mine for extraction of the copper. After the copper is extracted in approximately four years, the company is required to restore the land to its original condition, including repaving of roads and replacing a greenbelt. The company has provided the following three cash flow possibilities for the restoration costs: (FV of $1, PV of $1, EVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Cash Outflow $ 360,000 460,000 660,000 Probability 20% 45% 35% 2 3 To aid extraction, Jackpot purchased some new equipment on July 1, 2021, for $180,00O. After the copper is removed from this mine, the equipment will be sold. The credit-adjusted, risk-free rate of interest is 12%. Required: 1. Determine the cost of the copper mine. 2. Prepare the journal entries to record the acquisition costs of the mine and the purchase of equipment.

Windhoek Mines, Limited, of Namibia, is contemplating the purchase of equipment to exploit a mineral deposit on land to which the company has mineral rights. An engineering and cost analysis has been made, and it is expected that the following cash flows would be associated with opening and operating a mine in the area: Cost of new equipment and timbers Working capital required $430,000 $ 215,000 $ 150,000* Annual net cash receipts Cost to construct new roads in three years $ 63,000 Salvage value of equipment in four years $ 88,000 *Receipts from sales of ore, less out-of-pocket costs for salaries, utilities, insurance, and so forth. The mineral deposit would be exhausted after four years of mining. At that point, the working capital would be released for reinvestment elsewhere. The company's required rate of return is 18%.

The Drilling Corp. owns drilling rights on a tract of land on which crude oil has been discovered. The Drilling Corp. projects that the tract will allow drilling and recovery on crude for the next 4 years. They anticipate the following cost associated with the project including the cost of restoring the land to a park-like atmosphere. Below are projected data associated with this project: Annual cash receipts of $50,000 Annual cash expenses of $300,000 Equipment requirements of $500,000. Some of this equipment will be sold for $20,000 at the conclusion of the lease. The remainder of the equipment will have no salvage value at the end of the project and will be abandoned, adding to the rustic park-like atmosphere of the property. Inventory and supplies necessary to begin and maintain the project are $40,000 The cost of restoring the land to a pristine park-like setting and converting the drilling equipment into monkey bars is projected to be $100,000.

A surface-mount placement (SMP) machine is purchased for $500,000. Over its 10-year life, it produces before-tax cash flows of $108,333.33 and has a salvage value of $50,000. Based on an income-tax rate of 25%, an after-tax required return on investment of 10%, MACRS-GDS depreciation, and bonus depreciation of 50% and 100%, compare the after-tax present worth of the acquisition with that obtained in the absence of bonus depreciation.
