Should Jim sell his Minivan?
Jim's 1998 minivan is quite functional, but it only
averages 20 miles per gallon (mpg). He has found
a somewhat newer vehicle (roughly the same
functionality) that averages 26 mpg. He can sell
his current minivan for $2800 and purchase the
newer vehicle for $4,000. Assume a cost of
gasoline $4.00 per gallon.
How many miles per year must Jim drive if he
wants to recover his investment in three years?
Assume an interest rate of 6%, zero salvage value
for either vehicle after three years, and identical
maintenance cost.
