Windhoek Mines, Ltd., of Namibia, is contemplating the purchase of equipment to exploit a mineral deposit on land to which the c

ompany 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 $310,000
Working capital required $190,000
Annual net cash receipts $125,000
Cost to construct new roads in year three $58,000
Salvage value of equipment in four years $83,000
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 20%.
Required:
A. Determine the net present value of the proposed mining project.

Answer:

NPV = -$78,318

Explanation:

cash flow 0 = -$310,000 - $190,000 = -$500,000

cash flow 1 = $125,000

cash flow 2 = $125,000

cash flow 3 = $125,000 - $58,000 = $67,000

cash flow 4 = $125,000 + $83,000 + $190,000 = $398,000

NPV = -$500,000 + $125,000/1.2 + $125,000/1.2² + $67,000/1.2³ + $398,000/1.2⁴ = -$78,318

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Both mutual funds and money market funds are similar in the sense that they pool money from several investors in a variety of instruments. The difference is that money market funds pool the money in very liquid, short-term securities, while mutual funds do the same but in less liquid, longer-term securities.

The 63-year-old neighbor should therefore split the money around 60/40, 60% of the funds for mutual funds, in order to have long-term security, and 40% in the money market funds, in order to have quick cash available when needed.

elena55 [62]

Answer:

a. The price that the company should sell the new toy at if it prices at cost plus profit at 100% profit markup is:

= $20.

b. The price that the company should sell the new toy at if it prices using competitive pricing is:

= $22.50 (average of competitors' prices)

c. The price that the company should sell the new toy at if it prices using penetration pricing is:

= $20 (lowest market price)

d. The price that the company should sell the new toy at if it prices using price skimming is:

= $25.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of producing a new toy = $10

Competitors' prices are:

Product A – $25

Product B – $20

Product C – $23

Product D–  $22

Total =          $90

Average price = $22.50 ($90/4)

Cost =   $10

Markup   10 ($10 * 100%)

Price = $20

b) An important consideration in the pricing of products is customers' and competitors' reactions to the firm's selling price.  The purpose of considering customers is to ensure that enough demand is generated to cover production cost and make profits.  Competitors can wage price wars to discourage new entrants into their markets.  Many pricing methods are in use, depending on the prevailing market realities.
