A mining company is offered a 9-year lease for a coal mine at a cost of P120M. The engineers estimate the company will be able to mine 15 000 tons/yr for the first four years and 22 500 tons/yr for the next five years. Operating costs is computed at P1250/ton, while the price of coal is P2750/ton. If the company requires a 12% minimum rate of return on its investment, determine if the offer should be considered Apply PW analysis. (Ans. Offer should be accepted, P25.66M)

Big Sky Mining Company must install 1.5 million of new machinery in its Nevada mine. It can obtain a bank loan for 100% of the purchase price, or it can lease the machinery. Assume that the following facts apply. (1) The machinery falls into the MACRS 3-year class. (2) Under either the lease or the purchase, Big Sky must pay for insurance, property taxes, and maintenance. (3) The firms tax rate is 25%. (4) The loan would have an interest rate of 15%. It would be nonamortizing, with only interest paid at the end of each year for four years and the principal repaid at Year 4. (5) The lease terms call for 400,000 payments at the end of each of the next 4 years. (6) Big Sky Mining has no use for the machine beyond the expiration of the lease, and the machine has an estimated residual value of 250,000 at the end of the 4th year. a. What is the cost of owning? b. What is the cost of leasing? c. What is the NAL of the lease?
The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?

Grummet Company is acquiring a new wood lathe with a cash purchase price of $80,000. The Wood Master Industries (the manufacturer) has agreed to accept $23,500 at the end of each of the next 4 years. Based on this deal, how much interest will Grummet pay over the life of the loan? A. $94,000 B. $80,000 C. $23,500 D. $14,000
(1) Assume that the lease payments were actually 280,000 per year, that Consolidated Leasing is also in the 25% tax bracket, and that it also forecasts a 200,000 residual value. Also, to furnish the maintenance support, it would have to purchase a maintenance contract from the manufacturer at the same 20,000 annual cost, again paid in advance. Consolidated Leasing can obtain an expected 10% pre-tax return on investments of similar risk. What are its NPV and IRR of leasing under these conditions? (2) What do you think the lessors NPV would be if the lease payment were set at 260,000 per year? (Hint: The lessors cash flows would be a mirror image of the lessees cash flows.)
