- Net present value method for a service company Coast-to-Coast Inc. is considering the purchase of an additional delivery vehicle for 70,000 on January 1, 20Y1. The truck is expected to have a five-year life with an expected residual value of 15,000 at the end of five years. The expected additional revenues from the added delivery capacity are anticipated to be 65,000 per year for each of the next five years. A driver will cost 40,000 in 20Y1, with an expected annual salary increase of 2,000 for each year thereafter. The annual operating costs for the truck are estimated to be 6,000 per year. a. Determine the expected annual net cash flows from the delivery truck investment for 20Y120Y5. b. Compute the net present value of the investment, assuming that the minimum desired rate of return is 12%. Use the present value table appearing in Exhibit 2 of this chapter. c. Is the additional truck a good investment based on your analysis?

- A four-year-old truck has a present net realizable value of $6,000 and is now expected to have a market value of $1,800 after its remaining three-year life. Its operating disbursements are expected to be $720 per year. An equivalent truck can be leased for $0.40 per mile plus $30 a day for each day the truck is kept. The expected annual utilization is 3,000 miles and 30 days. If the before-tax MARR is 15%, find which alternative is better by comparing before-tax equivalent annual costs. Solve, a. using only the preceding information; b. using further information that the annual cost of having to operate without a truck is $2,000.arrow_forwardClick to see additional instructions A company is considering an investment in a new product with a 10-year horizon (product will be sold for 10 years). The upfront investment is $5 million and it is assumed to depreciate on a straight-line basis for 10 years, with no residual value. Fixed costs are assumed to be $550,000 per year. The company estimates variable cost per unit (v) to be $120 and expects to sell each unit for $425. There are no taxes and the required rate of return is 17% per year. Assume that the investment would occur today, and all future cash-flows will occur at the end of each year beginning in one year. What is the annual financial breakeven quantity?
