It is estimated that this tract will yield 120,000 tons of ore with sufficient mineral content to make mining and processing profitable. It is further estimated that 6,000 tons of ore will be mined the first and last year and 12,000 tons every year in between. (Assume 11 years of mining operations.) The land will have a salvage value of $30,000. The company builds necessary structures and sheds on the site at a cost of $36,000. It is estimated that these structures can serve 15 years but, because they must be dismantled if they are to be moved, they have no salvage value. The company does not intend to use the buildings elsewhere. Mining machinery installed at the mine was purchased secondhand at a cost of $60,000. This machinery cost the former owner $150,000 and was 50% depreciated when purchased.

The mine is expected to supply gravel for five years and then be sold. The following figures are estimated for future five years: • The initial cost of the mine and the equipment is $2 000 000, and on the last day of year five, the mine and equipment will be sold for $1 800 000. The Wittwater Mining ple use the straight-line method to charge depreciation for mine and equipment, the depreciation rate is 20%. In year 1, sales will be 180 tons of gravel per week, at a price of S20 per ton. In years 2 and 3, sales will be 190 tons of gravel per week, at a price of $21 per ton. In years 4 and 5, sales will be 170 tons of gravel per week, at a price of $22 per ton. In years 1 and 2, the running costs (including depreciation) are expected to be S2 000 a week. • In years 3 and 4, the running costs (including depreciation) are expected to be S2 200 a week.

Your researchers have determined that it will cost $2.5 million to purchase the land and prepare it for mining. At the beginning of both the second and third years, another $1 million investment will be required to establish the mining operations. Starting at the end of the second year, the deposit is expected to earn net profits of $3 million, which will be sustained for three years before the deposit is depleted. If the cost of capital is 16%, should your company pursue this venture? Provide calculations to support your decision.arrow_forwardGomez Corporation purchased land for P 6,000,000.

Management calculates depreciation of the equipment to be $96,000 [($800,000 − $160,000) × (240,000 tons/1,600,000 tons)]. Which of the following statements is correct? Multiple Choice Management should depreciate the equipment evenly over six years. Management should not subtract the residual value in calculating depreciation. Management should depreciate the equipment over 10 years. Management’s calculation is correct.arrow_forward
