Wildhorse's Auto Care is considering the purchase of a new tow truck. The garage doesn't currently have a tow truck, and the $59,950price tag for a new truck would represent a major expenditure. Wildhorse Austen, owner of the garage, has compiled the followingestimates in trying to determine whether the tow truck should be purchased.Initial cost$59,950Estimated useful life8 yearsNet annual cash flows from towing$7,990Overhaul costs (end of year 4)$5,970Salvage value$12,000Show Transcribed TextدWildhorse's good friend, Rick Ryan, stopped by. He is trying to convince Wildhorse that the tow truck will have other benefits thatWildhorse hasn't even considered. First, he says, cars that need towing need to be fixed. Thus, when Wildhorse tows them to herfacility, her repair revenues will increase. Second, he notes that the tow truck could have a plow mounted on it, thus saving Wildhorsethe cost of plowing her parking lot. (Rick will give her a used plow blade for free if Wildhorse will plow Rick's driveway.) Third, he notesthat the truck will generate goodwill; people who are rescued by Wildhorse's tow truck will feel grateful and might be more inclined touse her service station in the future or buy gas there. Fourth, the tow truck will have "Wildhorse's Auto Care" on its doors, hood, andback tailgate-a form of free advertising wherever the tow truck goes. Rick estimates that, at a minimum, these benefits would beworth the following.Additional annual net cash flows from repair work$3,010Annual savings from plowing740Additional annual net cash flows from customer "goodwill"980Additional annual net cash flows resulting from free advertising750The company's cost of capital is 9%.Show Transcribed TextI have to find NPV and determine if I should buy the truck without Rick's advice and with Rick's advice.I also need to find the present value of the intangible benefits.

Morrel University has a small shuttle bus that is in poor mechanical condition. The bus can be either overhauled now or replaced with a new shuttle bus. The following data have been gathered concerning these two alternatives (Ignore income taxes.): Purchase cost new Remaining net book value 0 Present Bus $ 32,000 $ 21,000 $ 9,000 $ 12,000 $ 10,000 $ 2,000 Major repair needed now Annual cash operating costs Salvage value now 0 $ 8,000 0 Trade-in value in seven years $ 5,000 Click here to view Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided. The University could continue to use the present bus for the next seven years. Whether the present bus is used or a new bus is purchased, the bus would be traded in for another bus at the end of seven years. The University uses a discount rate of 12% and the total cost approach to net present value analysis. If the new bus is purchased, the present value of the annual cash operating costs…
