Exercise 6-17A Asset replacement—opportunity cost
Roadrunner Freight Company owns a truck that cost $42,000. Currently, the truck’s book value is $24,000, and its expected remaining useful life is four years. Roadrunner has the opportunity to purchase for $31,200 a replacement truck that is extremely fuel efficient. Fuel cost for the old truck is expected to be $6,000 per year more than fuel cost for the new truck. The old truck is paid for but, in spite of being in good condition, can be sold for only $14.400.
Required
Should Roadrunner replace the old truck with the new fuel-efficient model, or should it continue to use the old truck until it wears out? Explain.

A contractor has purchased a wheel loader for $115,000 and plans to use it 2,000 hours per year. The
cost of one set of tires is $25,000. At this usage rate, the contractor anticipates disposing of the loader
after using it for 10 years and realizing a salvage value of $35,000. The flywheel horsepower rating of
the loader's diesel engine is 105 horsepower. The interest rate is 10%. The loader operator will earn
$34.00 per hour including fringe benefits, and diesel fuel costs $1.20 per gallon. How much is the
contractor's hourly ownership cost for the loader if using time value of money analysis?

- Problem 6-14 NPV and Bonus Depreciation Tanaka Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $475,000 is estimated to result in $199,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $72,000. The press also requires an initial Investment in spare parts inventory of $38,000, along with an additional $4,000 in Inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop's tax rate is 23 percent and its discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project.

In four years, the new equipment would have a salvage value of $75,000. Maintenance cost for the old equipment is expected to be $5,500 per year and maintenance on the new equipment is expected to be $2,500 per year. The old equipment is paid for but, in spite of being in good condition, can be sold for only $34,400 currently.

- Problem 6-23 Equivalent Annual Cost Sheep Ranch Golf Academy is evaluating new golf practice equipment. The "Dimple- Max" equipment costs $125,000, has a 6-year life, and costs $9,600 per year to operate. The relevant discount rate is 9 percent. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used and that the equipment is fully depreciated to zero. Furthermore, assume the equipment has a salvage value of $9,300 at the end of the project's life. The relevant tax rate is 24 percent. All cash flows occur at the end of the year. What is the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of this equipment? (A negative amount should be Indicated by a minus sign.

It requires $10,000 to install and has a 3-year usable life. If the new machine is acquired, the investment in accounts receivable will be expected to rise by $10,000, the inventory investment will increase by $25,000, and accounts payable will increase by $15,000. Earnings before depreciation, interest, and taxes are expected to be $70,000 for each of the next 3 years with the old machine and to be $120,000 in the first year and $130,000 in the second and third years with the new machine.
