The truck will decrease annual operating costs by $2,000. All operating costs are cash items. Assume the useful life of the truck is 8 years and that the required rate of return is 6%. What is the net present value of this investment and should Bobby invest in the truck? Select one: a. -$2,080, no b. $2,080, yes c. $12,420, yes d. $2,080, no Your answer is incorrect. Explanation: The PV annuity factor for 8 years at 6% is 6.2098. Present value of the operating costs saved amount to $12,420 ($2,000 x 6.21). Net present value amounts to -$2,080 (-$14,500 + $12,420). Since NPV is negative, Bobby should not invest in this truck. Note that this amount could have also been derived using the PV function in Excel as follows: =$14,500+PV(6%,8,2000,0,0)=($2,080) rounded. The correct answer is: -$2,080, no
