Question

The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new
delivery truck. The new truck costs $22,500, and it is expected to generate after-tax cash
flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The
expected year-end abandonment values (salvage values after tax adjustments) for the truck
are given here. The company’s WACC is 10%.

 

a. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life; if not, what is
the truck’s optimal economic life?
b. Would the introduction of abandonment values, in addition to operating cash flows,
ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project? Explain.
