An investment Sheila is considering is a new work truck. Her old Chevy is expected to last another three years with a $2,000 repair next month. Alternatively, Sheila can sell the truck as is for $3,000 (worthless after three more years of use) and buy a used F150 for $9,000 (expected value of $3,000 at the end of three years). The new truck would be more efficient, saving Sheila an average of $100 per month on repair and fuel costs. Sheila believes she can borrow money for the new truck at an annual rate of 5%. Sheila is wondering what the pros and cons of switching trucks are, and if she should upgrade. She also wants advice on the accounting and tax treatment of a truck.

In five years, Kent Duncan will retire. He is exploring the possibility of opening a self-service car wash. The car wash could be managed in the free time he has available from his regular occupation, and it could be closed easily when he retires. After careful study, Mr. Duncan has determined the following: • A building in which a car wash could be installed is available under a five-year lease at a cost of $3,300 per month. • Purchase and installation costs of equipment would total $126,000. In five years the equipment could be sold for about 10% of its original cost. • An investment of an additional $9,500 would be required to cover working capital needs for cleaning supplies, change funds, and so forth. After five years, this working capital would be released for investment elsewhere. • Both a wash and a vacuum service would be offered with a wash costing $1.53 and the vacuum costing $0.85 per use. • The only variable costs associated with the operation would be 7.5 cents per wash…
