Your Company purchased a van to use in orders directly to customers. The auto was purchased for $28,000 and will have a 6-year useful life and a $7,000 salvage value. Delivering fees should increase gross revenues by at least $6,350 per year. Depreciation on the van will be $3,500 per year. In what year will the payback for the van occur?

An existing robot can be kept if $2,000 is spent now to upgrade it for future service requirements. Alternatively, the company can purchase a new robot to replace the old robot. The estimates shown in the Table have been developed for both the defender and the challenger. The company’s before-tax MARR is 20% per year. Based on this information, should the existing robot be replaced right now? Assume the robot will be needed for an indefinite period of time.
Assume you have a flower shop and you bought a delivery van for $37,000. You expect the van to remain in service for three years (123,000 km). At the end of its useful life, you estimate that the van's residual value will be $1,330. You estimate the van will travel 31,000 km the first year, 51,000 km the second year, and 41,000 km the third year. Prepare an estimate of the depreciation expense per year for the van under the three depreciation methods. Show your computations. Which method do you think tracks the useful life cost on the van most closely? How does management determine which depreciation method to use? Begin by calculating straight-line depreciation expense for each year. (Round the amounts for depreciation expense to the nearest whole dollar.)
