Clean Company acquired a tract of land containing an extractable natural resource. Clean is required by its purchase contract
to restore the land to a condition suitable for recreational use after it has extracted the natural resource. Geological surveys
estimate that the recoverable reserves will be 2,000,000 tons, and that the land will have a value of $1,000,000 after restoration.
Relevant cost information follows: Land $7,500,000 Estimated restoration costs 1,500,000 If Clean maintains no inventories of
extracted material, what should be the charge to depletion expense per ton of extracted material?
Oa. $4.00
Ob. $3.20
Oc. $2.60

At times firms will need to decide if they want to continue to use their current equipment or replace the equipment with newer equipment.
The company will need to do replacement analysis to determine which option is the best financial decision for the company.
Price Co. is considering replacing an existing piece of equipment. The project involves the following:
•
The new equipment will have a cost of $1,800,000, and it will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over a period of six years (years 1–6).
•
The old machine is also being depreciated on a straight-line basis. It has a book value of $200,000 (at year 0) and four more years of depreciation left ($50,000 per year).
•
The new equipment will have a salvage value of $0 at the end of the project's life (year 6). The old machine has a current salvage value (at year 0) of $300,000.
•
Replacing the old machine will require an investment in net operating working capital (NOWC) of $50,000 that will be recovered at the end…

- For $20 million, Ross Adams Mining acquired a tract of land containing a large deposit of anthracite coal. Ross Adams believes the most economical way to extract the coal is to stripmine the site. The company is required by environmental regulations to restore the land after it has extracted the coal to a condition suitable for recreational use and—given the intended mining method—estimates restoration costs to be $6 million. Ross Adams’s mining engineers estimate that the site contains 4 million tons of recoverable coal and that it will take approximately four years to complete mining activities. Once restored, the estimated value of the land amounts to $1 million. Ross Adams Mining’s credit-adjusted risk free interest rate is 7%. Required: What should be the depletion rate per ton of coal extracted from this mine? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)arrow_forwardTwo remediation options are being considered for a contaminated land area formerly used for industrial operations. Option 1 involves removing all of the contaminated soil over a two-year period at a cost of 2.2$ million per year. Option 2 is to leave the soil in place but treat it with a bioremediation agent at a cost of 950,000$/year over a three-year period. Subsequently, the soil would be sampled each year for the next five years to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment system. The cost of the sampling program would be 240,000$ the first year and 120,000 $/year for the remaining four years.a)Calculate the net present value of each option based on a discount rate of 5% .b)Which option has the lowest overall cost?

In addition, when all the ore has been extracted (estimated ten years' time) the company will face estimated costs for landscaping the area affected by the mining that have a present value of $2 million. These costs would still have to be incurred even if no further ore was extracted. How should this $2 million future cost be recognised in the financial statements?

Additional costs of$600,000 were incurred to develop the mine. Geologists estimated that 400,000 tons of ore would be extracted.After the ore is removed, the land will have a resale value of $100,000.To aid in the extraction, Marion built various structures and small storage buildings on the site at a cost of$150,000. These structures have a useful life of 10 years. The structures cannot be moved after the ore has beenremoved and will be left at the site. In addition, new equipment costing $80,000 was purchased and installed atthe site. Marion does not plan to move the equipment to another site, but estimates that it can be sold at auctionfor $4,000 after the mining project is completed.In 2018, 50,000 tons of ore were extracted and sold. In 2019, the estimate of total tons of ore in the mine wasrevised from 400,000 to 487,500. During 2019, 80,000 tons were extracted.Required:1. Compute depletion and…arrow_forward
