Net present value method for a service company
Coast-to-Coast Inc. is considering the purchase of an additional delivery vehicle for $39,000 on January 1, 20Y1. The truck is expected to have a 5-year life with an expected residual value of $7,000 at the end of 5 years. The expected additional revenues from the added delivery capacity are anticipated to be $77,000 per year
for each of the next 5 years. A driver will cost $55,000 in 20Y1, with an expected annual salary increase of $4,000 for each year thereafter. The annual operating costs for the truck are estimated to be $3,000 per year.
