Viktor Hovland purchases land with natural gas reserves for $500,000. He expects to extract 2,000 units of natural gas from the reserve. In 5 years, when the land is fully depleted, the cost to restore the land to its prior state will be $100,000 and the land has no residual value. In year 1, he extracts 600 units and sells 500 units. It costs 50 dollars per unit to extract the natural gas. What will the book value of the Asset Retirement Obligatio be AFTER 2 YEARS? The effective interest rate is 8 percent. Use a positive number if it is a debit balance and a negative if it is a credit balance.

The management of Ballard MicroBrew is considering the purchase of an automated bottling machine for $66,000. The machine would replace an old piece of equipment that costs $17,000 per year to operate. The new machine would cost $8,000 per year to operate. The old machine currently in use is fully depreciated and could be sold now for a salvage value of $29,000. The new machine would have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Required: 1. What is the annual depreciation expense associated with the new bottling machine? 2. What is the annual incremental net operating income provided by the new bottling machine? 3. What is the amount of the initial investment associated with this project that should be used for calculating the simple rate of return? 4. What is the simple rate of return on the new bottling machine? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place i.e. 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%.)
Cullumber Lumber, is considering purchasing a new wood saw that costs $40,000.

Your firm needs a machine which costs $120,000, and requires $33,000 in maintenance for each year of its 5 year life. After 5 years, this machine will be replaced. The machine falls into the MACRS 5-year class life category. Assume a tax rate of 35 percent and a discount rate of 15 percent. What is the depreciation tax shield for this project in year 5?
Lumberjack Power, operator of a nuclear power plant, is planning to replace its current equipment with some that is more environmentally friendly. The old equipment has annual operating expenses of $6750 and can be kept for 8 more years. The equipment will have a salvage value of $4000, if sold 8 years from now, and has a current market value of $24,000, if it is sold now. The new equipment has an initial cost of $62,000 and has estimated annual operating expenses of $6250 each year. The estimated market value of the new equipment is $19,000 after 8 years of operation. If the company's MARR is 16% per year, should the equipment be replaced? Use a study period of 8 years and the present worth method.

Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is manufactured by Lollie Corp. The machine can be used for 10 years and then sold for $10,000 at the end of its useful life. Lollie has presented Kiddy with the following options: 1. Buy machine. The machine could be purchased for $160,000 in cash. All maintenance and insurance costs, which approximate $5,000 per year, would be paid by Kiddy. 2. Lease machine. The machine could be leased for a 10-year period for an annual lease payment of $25,000 with the first payment due immediately. All maintenance and insurance costs will be paid for by the Lollie Corp. and the machine will revert back to Lollie at the end of the 10-year period.

Your firm needs a computerized machine tool lathe that costs $50,000 and requires $12,000 in maintenance for each year of its three-year life. After three years, this machine will be replaced. The machine falls into the MACRS three-year class life category, and neither bonus depreciation nor Section 179 expensing can be used.
