13. Silverado Mining Company is analyzing the purchase of two silver mines. Only one investment will be made. The Alaska mine will cost $2,000,000 and will produce $400,000 per year in years 5 through 15 and $800,000 per year in years 16 through 25. The Montana mine will cost $2,400,000 and will produce $300,000 per year for the next 25 years. The cost of capital is 10 percent.

a. Which investment should be made? (Note: In looking up present value factors for this problem, you need to work with the concept of a deferred annuity for the Alaska mine. The returns in years 5 through 15 actually represent 11 years; the returns in years 16 through 25 represent 10 years.)

b. If the Alaska mine justifies an extra 5 percent premium over the normal cost of capital because of its riskiness and relative uncertainty of flows, does the investment decision change?
