    c. Should Briggs Excavation invest in the bulldozer, based on this analysis?
     , because the bulldozer cost is   the present value of the cash flows at the minimum desired rate of return of 15%.

    d. Determine the number of operating hours such that the present value of cash flows equals the amount to be invested. Round interim calculations and final answer to the nearest whole number.
