DIRECTIONS: Review the Closing Case in Chapter 8: Bethesda Mining Company (see below). (PLEASE FOLLOW THE THREE STEPS BELOW. NOT THE QUESTION ON THE CASE)

1. You have been asked by the president of the company to analyze the project. In Microsoft Excel, use the information provided in the case and calculate the payback period, profitability index, net present value, and internal rate of return for the new strip mine.
2. Once you have calculated the four items, prepare a 2-4 (double-spaced) page document in Microsoft Word that discusses each of the calculations with your calculation from Excel pasted into the document as an Excel item.
3. After discussing each of the calculations in detail, address the final component of the case - should Bethesda take the contract and open the mine?
