The Range is the result of subtracting the smallest number from the largest number.
The South African Mining Industry is very crucial to it's economy. Transnet is one of it's major players. Given that it had a set budget for the 2021/22 financial year, much of which was supposed to be financed by the mining sector, unfortunately, the sector delivered a shortfall.
If Transnet had performed on its nameplate capacity of 78 million tons rather than the 58 million tons delivered in 2021, the industry would have gained R32 billion in revenue. The sector lost R16 billion in sales by failing to meet its objective of 68 million tons.
Because of the above shortfall, assuming current market prices, more than a third of the R140 billion in tax scheduled to be paid from all South African mining firms.

Answer:
PLAN A
Year Cashflow [email protected] PV
$'m $
0 (12.4) 1 (12.4)
1 14.88 0.8905 13.25
NPV 0.85
PLAN B
Year Cashflow [email protected] PV
$'m $'m
0 (12.4) 1 (12.4)
1-20 2.2034 7.3309 16.15
NPV 3.75
Project B should be accepted
Explanation:
In this case, we need to discount the cash inflow of plan A at 12.3% for 1 year and then deduct the initial outlay from the present value of cash inflow. The discount factor could be derived from the present value table.
For plan B, we will discount the cash inflow at 12.3% for 20 years. In this case, we will use the annuity factor for 20 years. Thereafter, we will multiply the cashflow by the annuity factor for 20 years to obtain the present value. The initial outlay will be deducted from the present value so as to obtain the net present value(NPV).
The annuity factor can be obtained from the present value of annuity table.
The project with the higher NPV will be accepted.
Answer:
4.71
Explanation:
Cash coverage is a financial tool to calculate the proportion of available cash to interest expenses. It is useful in that it gives a deeper insight into available cash to offset interest expense and guide towards proper investment of cash.
<u>Workings</u>
Cash coverage ratio = cash + cash equivalent / interest expenses.
To arrive at the cash equivalent , depreciation is added back to the net income
Cash equivalent = 15,585+ 2,525 = 18,110
Interest expenses = 3,846
Cash coverage ratio = 18,110 / 3,846 = 4.71
This seems high and it is advisable that cash should be used for some short term investments to earn other profit
