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?

Two landfill construction plans are being considered by a planning committee. They are: 1) Plan A: Landfill with a groundwater protection system. 2) Plan B: Landfill constructed with a geosynthetic liner to minimize leachates from the landfill and protect groundwater sources. Annual amortized capital costs and risks of failure for the systems are presented in the table below: Amortized (yearly) cost Estimated Annual Risk of failure [$] Plan [%] Plan A 400,000 1.50 Plan B 550,000 0.015 The cleanup cost, if the groundwater system should fail, is estimated to be $8,000,000. a) Determine the annual social cost of failure of each of the two plans. 1200 b) Determine to total cost per year for the two plans. c) If minimum total annual cost is the criterion for selecting a option, what plan should be chosen? Clearly justify your choice.
The following annual costs are associated with three new extruder machines being considered for use in a Styrofoam cup plant: Data Useful Life, Years First Cost Salvage Value Annual Benefit M&O M&O Gradient X 17 $2,090,000 $87,000 $396,000 $56,000 $9,000 X-TRUD 13 $2,610,000 $93,000 $534,000 $60,000 $11,000 SUPR-X 11 $2,430,000 $119,000 $638,000 $53,000 $13,000 The company's interest rate (MARR) is 21%. Which extruder should the Styrofoam company choose? Use Annual Cash Flow Analysis and provide the right reason. Choosing SUPR-X is best because it has the lowest M&O cost in yr1 Choosing SUPR-X is best because it has the highest Annual Benefit Choosing SUPR-X will maximize the EUAB-EAUC; its value is $-127,486 higher than X and $15,650 higher than X-TRUD. Choosing SUPR-X will maximize the EUAB-EAUC; its value is $117,514 higher than X and $126,650 higher than X-TRUD.
