| Final Exam Problem 5: Net Present Value Analysis | Â | Â | Â | ||
| Â | Â | Â | Â | Â | Â |
| Wind Mines is contemplating the purchase of equipment to exploit a mineral deposit | Â | ||||
| on land to which the company has mineral rights. An engineering and cost analysis has | Â | ||||
| been made, and it is expected that the following cash flows would be associated with | Â | ||||
| opening and operating a mine in the area: | Â | Â | Â | Â | |
| Â | Â | Â | Â | Â | Â |
| Cost of new equipment and timbers | Â | $275,000 | Â | Â | Â |
| Working capital required | Â | $100,000 | Â | Â | Â |
| Net annual cash receipts* | Â | $120,000 | Â | Â | Â |
| Cost to construct new roads in three years | $40,000 | Â | Â | Â | |
| Salvage value of equipment in four years | $65,000 | Â | Â | Â | |
| Â | Â | Â | Â | Â | Â |
| * Receipts from sale of ore, less out-of-pocket cost for salaries | Â | Â | |||
| utilities, insurance etc. | Â | Â | Â | Â | Â |
| Â | Â | Â | Â | Â | Â |
| It is estimated that the mineral deposit would be exhausted after four years of mining. | Â | ||||
| At that point, the working capital would be released for reinvestment elsewhere. The | Â | ||||
| company required rate of return is 20%. | Â | Â | Â | Â | Â |
| Â | Â | Â | Â | Â | Â |
| Required: | Â | Â | Â | Â | Â |
