You own a coal mining company and are considering opening a new mine. The mine itself will cost $120 million to open. If this money is spent immediately, the mine will generate $22 million for the next 10 years. After that, the coal will run out and the site must be cleaned and maintained at environmental standards. The cleaning and maintenance are expected to cost $1.8 million per year in perpetuity. What does the IRR rule say about whether you should accept this opportunity? (Hint: Consider the number of sign changes in the cash flows.) If the cost of capital is 7.6%, what does the NPV rule say?
Question content area bottom
Part 1) What does the IRR rule say about whether you should accept this opportunity? (Select the best choice below.)
A. Accept the opportunity because the IRR is greater than the cost of capital.
B. There are two IRRs, so you cannot use the IRR as a criterion for accepting the opportunity.
C. Reject…

What is the problem with using the NPV investment criterion in this case? What alternative criterion should be used?arrow_forwardCH 6 #4 The DEF Company prefers to finance investments internally to the extent possible. However, it has adopted the following policies, which are applied unless there are significant qualitative considerations that justify an exception for a particular project. Investments are not accepted unless they can earn at least 11.1 percent after taxes on a discounted cash flow (DCF) basis, even if excess funds are available. Investments are not rejected if they will earn 25 percent or more after taxes on a discounted cash flow (DCF) basis, even if internally generated funds are not available. The following table shows the cash flows for a series of independent investments. Use the DEF Company’s criteria to classify each investment as: A = must accept; R = must reject; or U = uncertain.arrow_forward

(LO3 20 for data / Do not solve) LO3 20. Sensitivity Analysis We are evaluating a project that costs $1.68 million, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 90,000 units per year. Price per unit is $37.95, variable cost per unit is $23.20, and fixed costs are $815,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent, and we require a return of 11 percent on this project. a. Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV. What is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure? Explain what your answer tells you about a 500-unit decrease in projected sales. b. What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable cost figure? Explain what your answer tells you about a $1 decrease in estimated variable costs. LO3 21.

Select one: a. When the carrying amount of an asset is less than the recoverable amount, then an asset should have its previous impairments reversed to the value of the recoverable amount provided there is accumulated amortization to cover the difference. b. The difference between the carrying amount of an asset and the recoverable is the impairment loss if the carrying amount is greater. c. When the carrying amount of an asset is greater than the recoverable amount, then an asset should be impaired to the value of the recoverable amount d. The difference between the carrying amount of an asset and the recoverable is the impairment loss if the carrying amount is less.arrow_forward
