Jackpot Mining Company operates a copper mine in central Montana. The company paid $1,150,000 in 2021 for the mining site and spent an additional $630,000 to prepare the mine for extraction of the copper. After the copper is extracted in approximately four years, the company is required to restore the land to its original condition, including repaving of roads and replacing a greenbelt. The company has provided the following three cash flow possibilities for the restoration costs: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1)

Cash flow Probability
1 $330,000 25%
2 430,000 40%
3 630,000 35%

To aid extraction, Jackpot purchased some new equipment on July 1, 2021, for $150,000. After the copper is removed from this mine, the equipment will be sold. The credit-adjusted, risk-free rate of interest is 10%.

Required:
a. Determine the cost of the copper mine.
b. Prepare the journal entries to record the acquisition costs.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Determine the cost of the copper mine.

$2,104,430

b. Prepare the journal entries to record the acquisition costs.

Date X, 2021, acquisition of copper mine

Dr Copper mine 2,104,430  

    Cr Cash 1,780,000

    Cr Asset retirement liability 324,430

July 1, 2021, acquisition of mining equipment

Dr Equipment 150,000

    Cr Cash 150,000

Explanation:

estimated restoration costs = ($330,000 x .25) + ($430,000 x .4) + ($630,000 x .35) = $475,000

now we must adjust the restoration cost and determine its present value = $475,000 x 0.68301 (present value factor, 10%, 4 periods) = $324,430

total cost of copper mine = purchase cost + preparation costs + restoration costs = $1,150,000 + $630,000 + $324,430 = $2,104,430

You want to buy a new sports coupe for $74,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you a loan with an APR of 6.9 percent for 36 months to buy the car.

Required:
a. What will your monthly payments be?
b. What is the effective annual rate on this loan?

Answers

Answer:

a) Monthly payments = $22,969.38

b) Effective rate of return= 7.12%

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

The monthly installment is computed as follows:  

Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor

Loan amount; = 74,500

Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months

r- 6.9%/12 = 0.575 % = 0.00575, n = 36 =

Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+00575)^(-36)/0.00575= 32.434

Monthly installment = Loan amount /annuity factor

=  74,500/32.434= 22,969.38

Required monthly payments = $22,969.38

Effective annual interest rate

Effective rate of return = ((1+r)^n- 1) × 100

where r - monthly interest rate- 6.9%/12 = 0.575%

n- number of months= 12 months

Effective rate of return - (1+00575)^(12) - 1× 100=  7.12%

Effective rate of return= 7.12%

Answers

Answer:

The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to: $11.54 per machine-hour

Explanation:

Predetermined Overheads = Budgeted Fixed Overheads / Budgeted Activity

                                             = $ 838,730 / 72,700

                                             = $11.536864 or $11.54 per machine-hour.
