Question
Bilboa Freightlines, S.A., of Panama, has a small truck that it uses for intracity deliveries. The truck is worn out and must be either overhauled or replaced with a new truck. The company has assembled the following information:
| Present Truck |
New Truck |
|||||
| Purchase cost new | $ | 23,000 | $ | 29,000 | ||
| Remaining book value | $ | 11,000 | - | |||
| Overhaul needed now | $ | 10,000 | - | |||
| Annual cash operating costs | $ | 12,000 | $ | 8,500 | ||
| Salvage value-now | $ | 6,000 | - | |||
| Salvage value-five years from now | $ | 5,000 | $ | 5,000 | ||
If the company keeps and overhauls its present delivery truck, then the truck will be usable for five more years. If a new truck is purchased, it will be used for five years, after which it will be traded in on another truck. The new truck would be diesel-operated, resulting in a substantial reduction in annual operating costs, as shown above.
The company computes
Required:
1. What is the
2. What is the net present value of the “purchase the new truck” alternative?
3. Should Bilboa Freightlines keep the old truck or purchase the new one?

- Wildhorse's Auto Care is considering the purchase of a new tow truck. The garage doesn't currently have a tow truck, and the $59,950 price tag for a new truck would represent a major expenditure. Wildhorse Austen, owner of the garage, has compiled the following estimates in trying to determine whether the tow truck should be purchased. Initial cost $59,950 Estimated useful life 8 years Net annual cash flows from towing $7,990 Overhaul costs (end of year 4) $5,970 Salvage value $12,000 Show Transcribed Text د Wildhorse's good friend, Rick Ryan, stopped by. He is trying to convince Wildhorse that the tow truck will have other benefits that Wildhorse hasn't even considered. First, he says, cars that need towing need to be fixed. Thus, when Wildhorse tows them to her facility, her repair revenues will increase. Second, he notes that the tow truck could have a plow mounted on it, thus saving Wildhorse the cost of plowing her parking lot. (Rick will give her a used plow blade for free if…arrow_forwardWildhorse Corp. is considering purchasing one of two new diagnostic machines.

Calculate the net present value and profitability index of each machine. Assume a 9% discount rate. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Round answer for present value to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125 and profitability index to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.
