BETHESDA MINING COMPANY
Bethesda Mining is a midsized coal mining company with 20 mines located in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
and Kentucky. The company operates deep mines as well as strip mines. Most of the coal mined is sold under
contract, with excess production sold on the spot market.
The coal mining industry, especially high-sulfur coal operations such as Bethesda, has been hard-hit by
environmental regulations. Recently, however, a combination of increased demand for coal and new pollution
reduction technologies has led to an improved market demand for high-sulfur coal. Bethesda has just been approached by Mid-Ohio Electric Company with a request to supply coal for its electric generators for the next
four years. Bethesda Mining does not have enough excess capacity at its existing mines to guarantee the
contract. The company is considering opening a strip mine in Ohio on 5,000 acres of land purchased 10 years
ago for $5.4 million. Based on a recent appraisal, the company feels it could receive $7.3 million on an aftertax
basis if it sold the land today.
Strip mining is a process where the layers of topsoil above a coal vein are removed and the exposed coal
is removed. Some time ago, the company would simply remove the coal and leave the land in an unusable
condition. Changes in mining regulations now force a company to reclaim the land; that is, when the mining
is completed, the land must be restored to near its original condition. The land can then be used for other
purposes. As they are currently operating at full capacity, Bethesda will need to purchase additional equipment,
which will cost $49 million. The equipment will be depreciated on a seven-year MACRS schedule. The contract
only runs for four years. At that time the coal from the site will be entirely mined. The company feels that the
equipment can be sold for 60 percent of its initial purchase price. However, Bethesda plans to open another
strip mine at that time and will use the equipment at the new mine.
The contract calls for the delivery of 500,000 tons of coal per year at a price of $70 per ton. Bethesda Mining
feels that coal production will be 750,000 tons, 810,000 tons, 830,000 tons, and 720,000 tons, respectively,
over the next four years. The excess production will be sold in the spot market at an average of $64 per ton,
Variable costs amount to $29 per ton and fi xed costs are $4.2 million per year. The mine will require a net working
capital investment of 5 percent of sales. The NWC will be built up in the year prior to the sales.
Bethesda will be responsible for reclaiming the land at termination of the mining. This will occur in Year 5.
The company uses an outside company for reclamation of all the company’s strip mines. It is estimated the
cost of reclamation will be $3.9 million. After the land is reclaimed, the company plans to donate the land to the
state for use as a public park and recreation area as a condition to receive the necessary mining permits. This
will occur in Year 5 and result in a charitable expense deduction of $7.3 million. Bethesda faces a 38 percent
tax rate and has a 12 percent required return on new strip mine projects. Assume a loss in any year will result
in a tax credit.
You have been approached by the president of the company with a request to analyze the project. Calculate
the payback period, profi tablitity index, net present value, and internal rate of return for the new strip mine.
Should Bethesda Mining take the contract and open the mine?

The Community College of Denver is proposing a new cost structure for its courses. The plan...

The Community College of Denver is proposing a new cost structure for its courses. The plan is to charge a higher cost for higher level courses in order to hiring highly skilled instructors for those courses. The course levels are as follows:

  • 000 Level Courses - $178.25 / hour
  • 100 Level Courses - $232.42 / hour
  • 200 Level Courses - $274.41 / hour

This new plan also includes a 2 percent per year cost increase for each level over the course of the next five years to bring the college closer to the national average.

Instructions

Design a program that first displays a menu then asks the user the number of credit hours they plan to take in one semester. Use this number to calculate the present semester tuition. The program should then display a menu that asks the user which course level to display in the report. (Note that only one course level can be displayed at a time!). Once the course level is selected, the program MUST use the per credit hour cost listed in the attached text file called tuitionAmounts.txt. Therefore, the initial tuition amounts must be read into the program from the text file and not hard-coded with the program. This allows the initial amounts to be changed in the text file an not in the code.

After the tuition amounts are read, then display the tuition for the level selected for the year by multiplying the semester tuition by 2. Next, create a loop that displays the projected yearly tuition amounts for the next five years. Therefore, the program should display 6 years of tuition with the first year representing the present tuition costs and the subsequent years representing a 2 percent increase each year.

Below is a representation of a sample run of your application. Your output results should be in table format and should resemble the following if the user selected 000 Level Courses:

CCA Tuition Program
-------------------------

1. 000 Level Courses
2. 100 Level Courses
3. 200 Level Courses
4. Exit Program
Select the course level or Exit: 1

Enter the number of credit hours for this semester: 12

Year 2 $4363.56
Year 3 $4450.83
Year 4 $4539.85
Year 5 $4630.64
Year 6 $4723.26

Additional Requirements

  • You MUST use a loop to display years 2 through 6, which have the percent increase.
  • You MUST use a switch statement to evaluate the level chosen
  • The program must loop and can only be exited by making a selection in the menu
  • The output results must be written to a new text file called TuitionReportResults.txt.
