Briggs Excavation Company is planning an investment of $932,100 for a bulldozer. The bulldozer is expected to operate for 3,000 hours per year for eight years. Customers will be charged $140 per hour for bulldozer work. The bulldozer operator costs $32 per hour in wages and benefits. The bulldozer is expected to require annual maintenance costing $30,000. The bulldozer uses fuel that is expected to cost $42 per hour of bulldozer operation.
