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 $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%.
Required:
Determine the net present value of the proposed mining project.

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)

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Net Present Value = $59,632.78

Explanation:

<em>The net present value NPV) of a project is the present value of cash inflow less the present value of cash outflow of the project. </em>

<em>NPV = PV of cash inflow - PV of cash outflow </em>

Present value of cash inflow:

65,000 × (1.09375)^(-1) + 98000 ×(1.09375)^(-2)+ 126,000 ×(1.09375)^(-3)+  132,000 × (1.09375)^(-4)= 326882.7792

PV of annual maintenance cost :

=1,500 × (1- 1.09375^(-4))/0.09375

=4819.84773

NPV = 26882.7792  - 4819.84773 - (255,000+12250)

= 59,632.78

In economics, if a good is inelastic
IRISSAK [1]

Explanation:

Let us understand the term what is elastic & "inelastic".

Elastic: It is the change in the behavior of the buyer & the seller when the product price changes.

Elastic goods will always have an substitute.

Example: Books, pencil, Notebook, bread, etc,

Inelastic means: This is opposite of elastic. There will be same number of buyers when the price goes up or down.

Whether the price gets raise or lower daily we need food. So food is inelastic.

Eg.  food, prescription drugs, and tobacco products

vichka [17]

Answer:

Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=$61,600

Explanation:

Differential Cost:

It is the difference in costs if there are more than one alternatives and one alternative is chosen while rejecting the other alternatives.

In order to calculate the differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A, including all of the relevant costs we first calculate the total cost of both alternatives and then tae the difference.

Total Of Alternative A=Material Cost+Processing Cost+Equipment Rental+occupancy costs.

Total Of Alternative A=$28000+$34000+$11000+$19500=$92,500

Total Of Alternative B=Material Cost+Processing Cost+Equipment Rental+occupancy costs.

Total Of Alternative B=$64000+$34000+$28500+$27600=$154,100

Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=Total Of Alternative B-Total Of Alternative A

Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=$154,100-$92,500

Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=$61,600
