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 $500,000
Working capital required 100,000
Annual net cash receipts 120,000
Cost to construct new roads in three years 40,000
Salvage value of equipment in four years 65,000
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%.

Answer:

Windhoek Mines, Ltd.

The net present value of the proposed mining project is:

=  ($232,950).

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of new equipment and timbers = $500,000

Working capital required  = $100,000

Annual net cash receipts = $120,000

Cost to construct new roads in three years = $40,000

Salvage value of equipment in four years = $65,000

Estimated useful life of mine = 4 years

Working capital released in four years = $100,000

Required rate of return = 20%

                                                           Cash Flows   PV factor  Present Value

Cost of new equipment and timbers  $500,000      1               -$500,000

Working capital required                        100,000       1                 -100,000

Annual net cash receipts                       120,000     2.589            310,680

Cost to construct new roads in 3 years 40,000     0.579             -23,160

Salvage value of equipment in 4 years 65,000     0.482               31,330

Working capital released in 4 years     100,000     0.482              48,200

Net present value                                                                      ($232,950)

Determine the (a) working capital, (b) current ratio, and (c) quick ratio. Round ratios to one decimal place.The following data
kramer

Answer:

a. The working capital is $625,000

b. The current ratio is 2.82

c. The quick ratio is 2.08

Explanation:

In order to calculate the working capital first we need to calculate the Current Assets and the Current Liablities as follows:

Current Assets = Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventory + Prepaid Expenses + Temporary investments

= 154,000+210,000+240,000+15,000+350,000

=$969,000

Current Liablities = Accounts payble + Accrued liablities + Income tax payable + Notes payable,short term

= 245000+4000+10000+85000

=$344,000

a. Therefore, working capital = Current Assets - Current liabilities

= 969000 - 344000

= $625,000

b. To calculate the current ratio we have to use the following formula:

current ratio = Current Assets / Current liabilities

=969,000 /344,000

= 2.82

c. To calculate the quick ratio we have to use the following formula:

quick ratio = (Cash + Accounts receivable + Temporary investments ) / Current liabilities

= (154,000+210,000+350,000) / 344,000

= 2.08
