Dixie Dynamite Company is evaluating two methods of blowing up old buildings for commercial purposes over the next five years. Method one (implosion) is relatively low in risk for this business and will carry a 11 percent discount rate. Method two (explosion) is less expensive to perform but more dangerous and will call for a higher discount rate of 16 percent. Either method will require an initial capital outlay of $102,000. The inflows from projected business over the next five years are given next.

Highland Mining and Minerals Co. is considering the purchase of two gold mines. Only one investment will be made. The Australian gold mine will cost $1,694,000 and will produce $359,000 per year in years 5 through 15 and $532,000 per year in years 16 through 25. The U.S. gold mine will cost $2,085,000 and will produce $295,000 per year for the next 25 years. The cost of capital is 11 percent. Use Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answers using the formula and financial calculator methods. (Note: In looking up present value factors for this problem, you need to work with the concept of a deferred annuity for the Australian mine. The returns in years 5 through 15 actually represent 11 years; the returns in years 16 through 25 represent 10 years.) a-1. Calculate the net present value for each project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and
round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Net Present Value The Australian mine $ The U.S. mine $
a-2. Which investment should be made? Australian mine
U.S. mine b-1. Assume the Australian mine justifies an extra 5 percent premium over the normal cost of capital
because of its riskiness and relative uncertainty of cash flows. Calculate the new net present value given this assumption. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Net Present Value The Australian mine $
b-2. Does the new assumption change the investment decision?
Yes No
