Question
 
Metal Recycling and Salvage receives the opportunity to salvage scrap metal and other materials from an old industrial site. The current owners of the site will sign over the site to Enviro at no cost. Enviro intends to extract scrap metal at the site for 24​ months and then will clean up the​ site, return the land to useable​ condition, and sell it to a developer. Projected costs associated with the project​ follow:
 
Read the requirements2.
 
Requirement 1. Assuming that Enviro expects to salvage 70,000
tons of metal from the​ site, what is the total project life cycle​ cost?
 
Total Life-Cycle Costs
Variable costs:
 
Metal extraction and processing
 
Fixed costs:
 
Metal extraction and processing
 
Rent on temporary buildings
 
Administration
 
Clean-up
 
Land restoration
 
Selling land
 
Total life-cycle cost
 
Requirement 2. Suppose Enviro can sell the metal for $110 per ton and wants to earn a profit​ (before taxes) of $30 per ton. At what price must
Enviro sell the land at the end of the project to achieve its target profit per​ ton?
 
The life-cycle operating income Enviro wants to earn is
 
.
Now complete the projected​ life-cycle income statement to determine at what price Enviro must sell the land at the end of the project to achieve its target profit per ton.

Requirement 3. Now suppose Enviro can only sell the metal for $100 per ton and the land at $110,000 less than what you calculated in requirement 2. If Enviro wanted to maintain the same markup percentage on total project​ life-cycle cost as in requirement​ 2, by how much would the company have to reduce its total project​ life-cycle cost?
 
​First, compute Enviro​'s ​mark-up percentage in requirement 2. Determine the​ formula, then compute the​ mark-up percentage. ​(Round mark-up to the nearest whole​ percentage.)

​Next, compute what Enviro​'s new cost will have to be. Determine the​ formula, then compute the revised total​ life-cycle cost. ​(Enter any ratios up to two​ decimals, X.XX. Round the new cost to the nearest​ dollar.)

​Finally, how much would Enviro have to reduce its total project​ life-cycle cost?
 
Enviro would have to reduce its total project life-cycle cost by
 
to maintain the same mark-up percentage
as in requirement 2.

1.
Assuming that Enviroexpects to salvage 70,000 tons of metal from the​ site, what is the total project life cycle​ cost?
2.
Suppose Enviro can sell the metal for $110 per ton and wants to earn a profit​ (before taxes) of $30 per ton. At what price must Enviro sell the land at the end of the project to achieve its target profit per​ ton?
3.
Now suppose Envirocan only sell the metal for
$100 per ton and the land at $110,000 less than what you calculated in requirement 2. If Enviro wanted to maintain the same markup percentage on total project​ life-cycle cost as in requirement​ 2, by how much would the company have to reduce its total project​ life-cycle cost?
