Auburn Industries is evaluating the option of purchasing a fork- lift truck costing $60,000. If purchased, the truck will replace 4 workers, each with an average annual salary of $15,000. However, an experienced fork-lift operator will have to be hired at a salary of $20,000 per year. Fuel and maintenance expense is expected to be $10,000 per year. At the end of its 5-year life, the truck will have a market value of $10,000.
