For $20 million, Ross Adams Mining acquired a tract of land containing a large deposit of anthracite coal. Ross Adams believes t

he most economical way to extract the coal is to stripmine the site. The company is required by environmental regulations to restore the land after it has extracted the coal to a condition suitable for recreational use and—given the intended mining method—estimates restoration costs to be $6 million. Ross Adams’s mining engineers estimate that the site contains 4 million tons of recoverable coal and that it will take approximately four years to complete mining activities. Once restored, the estimated value of the land amounts to $1 million. Ross Adams Mining’s credit-adjusted risk free interest rate is 7%. Required: What should be the depletion rate per ton of coal extracted from this mine? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

$6.25 per ton of coal

Explanation:

the depletion base = purchase cost + restoration costs

  • purchase cost = $20 million
  • restoration costs = $6 million

depletion base = $26,000,000

depletion rate per ton of coal = (depletion base - salvage value) / estimated reserves = ($26,000,000 - $1,000,000) / 4,000,000 = $6.25 per ton of coal

The depletion rate follows the same concepts as depreciation of fixed assets, but instead of using a fixed asset, you are extracting materials and decreasing the value of the deposits.

Total Company North South Sales $ 600,000 $ 400,000 $ 200,000 Variable expenses 360,000 280,000 80,000 Contribution margin 240,0
seraphim [82]

Answer:

1. Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= $425,000

2. Break-even point in dollar sales for North region= $200,000

3. Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = $100,000

Explanation:

1. Computation of the companywide break-even point in dollar sales

First step is to find the Contribution margin ratio

Using this formula

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales

Contribution margin ratio:

Total company: ($240,000/$600,000)=0.4

North : ($120,000/$400,000)=0.4

South : ($120,000/$200,000)=0.6

Now let compute the Company wide break-even point in dollar sales using this formula

Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio

Let plug in the formula

Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= ($120,000 + $50,000) / 0.4

Company wide break-even point in dollar sales= $425,000

2. Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region using this formula

Break-even point in dollar sales for North region = Traceable fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio

Let plug in the formula

Break-even point in dollar sales for North region= $60,000 / 0.3

Break-even point in dollar sales for North region= $200,000

3. . Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.

Using this formula

Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = Traceable fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio

Let plug in the formula

Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = $60,000 / 0.6

Break-even point in dollar sales for South region = $100,000
