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.
B. Should the project be accepted?

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

Nikolay [14]

Explanation:

The computation of the activity rate for each activity is shown below:  

As we know that

Activity Rate = Expected rate ÷ Activity Driver

For Handling material = $650,000 ÷ 100,000 = $6.50 per part

For Inspecting product = $925,000 ÷ 1,500 parts = $616.67 per batch

For Processing purchase orders = $130,000 ÷ 700 = $185.72 per orders

Paying supplies = $200,000 ÷ 500 = 400 per invoices

Insuring the factory = $325,000 ÷ $40,000 = $8.125 per square foot

Designing packaging = $100,000 ÷ 2 models = 50,000 per models

Answer:

<u>Part 1 a</u>

jan 4

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (80 x $8.00) $640

Credit : Revenue $640

jan 11

Debit ; Purchases (150 x $6) $900

Credit : Accounts Payable $900

jan 13

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (120 x $8.75) $1,050

Credit : Revenue $1,050

jan 20

Debit ; Purchases (160 x $7) $1,120

Credit : Accounts Payable $1,120

jan 27

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (100 x $9.00) $900

Credit : Revenue $900

jan 31

Debit ; Cost of Sales (100 x $5 + 150 x $6 + 160 x $7) $2,520

Credit :  Inventory $2,520

<u>Part 1 b</u>

<em>Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Sales</em>

Sales = ( 80 x $8.00 + 120 x $8.75 + 100 x $9.00) = $2,590

Cost of Sales = (100 x $5 + 150 x $6 + 160 x $7) = $2,520

Therefore,

Gross Profit = $2,590 - $2,520

                   = $70

<u>Part 2 a</u>

jan 4

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (80 x $8.00) $640

Debit : Cost of Sales (80 x $5.00) $400

Credit : Revenue (80 x $8.00)  $640

Credit : Inventory (80 x $5.00) $400

jan 11

Debit ; Purchases (150 x $6) $900

Credit : Accounts Payable $900

jan 13

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (120 x $8.75) $1,050

Debit : Cost of Sales (20 x $5.00 + 100 x $6) $700

Credit : Revenue (120 x $8.75) $1,050

Credit : Inventory (20 x $5.00 + 100 x $6) $700

jan 20

Debit ; Purchases (160 x $7) $1,120

Credit : Accounts Payable $1,120

jan 27

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (100 x $9.00) $900

Debit : Cost of Sales (50 x $6.00 + 50 x $7) $650

Credit : Revenue (100 x $9.00) $900

Credit : Inventory (50 x $6.00 + 50 x $7) $650

<u>Part 2 b</u>

<em>Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Sales</em>

Sales = ( 80 x $8.00 + 120 x $8.75 + 100 x $9.00) = $2,590

Cost of Sales = ($400 + $700 + $650) = $1,750

Therefore,

Gross Profit = $2,590 - $1,750

                   = $840

Explanation:

<em>Hie, see the attached the full question as images below</em>

<u>Part 1</u>

Note that the question in this part requires us to use the Periodic Inventory System. In Periodic Inventory system, Inventory Valuation and calculation of Cost of Goods Sold is done at the <em>end of the Period</em>, in this case at the end of the month of January.

<u>Part 2 </u>

Again it is important to note that the question in this part requires us to use the Perpetual Inventory System. In Perpetual Inventory system, Inventory Valuation and calculation of Cost of Goods Sold is done at the <em>after each and every transaction made</em>.

<u>Overall Comment</u>

The Company use of FIFO should be considered in both the Periodic Inventory System in Part 1 and Perpetual Inventory System in Part 2. FIFO method assumes that the first goods received by the business will be the first ones to be delivered to the final customer.

That said, Cost of Sales for Part 1 are determined and recognized at the end of the period and Cost of Sales for Part 2 are determined and recognized after every sale transaction made
