Reference: 10-14
Jimbob Co. is considering two alternatives to replace a delivery truck. The following data have been gathered concerning these two alternatives: $$\begin{array} { | l | l | r | } \hline & \text { Truck } A & \text { Truck } B \\\hline \text { Purchase cost new } & \$ 50,000 & \$ 70,000 \\\hline \text { Major repairs end of year } 2 & \$ 10,000 & 8,000 \\\hline \text { Annual cash operating costs } & \$ 20,000 & \$ 18,000 \\\hline \text { Salvage value at the end of 3 years } & \$ 15,000 & \$ 20,000 \\\hline\end{array}$$ Jimbob Co. uses a 10% discount rate and the incremental cost approach to capital budgeting analysis. Both trucks are expected to have a useful life of three years.
-The following data pertain to an investment proposal: $$\begin{array} { | l | l | } \hline \text { Investment in the project (equipment) } & \$ 14,000 \\\hline \text { Net annual cash inflows promised } & \$ 2,800 \\\hline \text { Working capital required } & \$ 5,000 \\\hline \text { Salvage value of the equipment } & \$ 1,000 \\\hline \text { Life of the project } & 10 \text { years } \\\hline\end{array}$$ The working capital would be released for use elsewhere when the project is completed. What is the net present value of the project, using a discount rate of 8%?

A) $251.
