$22)$ Evaluation of capital budgeting projects $(15$ points$)$

A construction company is looking to buy new pickup trucks. The company owner is considering two similar in size models: $2022$ Chevy Silverado for $$49,000$ or $2022$ Ford F$150$ for $$44,000.$ Both models will be used for $10$ years, then written off $($will have $$0$ value at the end$).$ The Silverado averages $30$ miles$/$gallon$.$ The F$150$ averages $23$ miles$/$gallon$.$ The owner anticipates the monthly truck mileage to be around $3,000$ miles. All other expenses, such as maintenance, emissions, etc. are expected to be the same for both models. If the firm$$s weighted average cost of capital is $12\%$ APR, truck loan payments will be made at the end of each month, and gas is expected to cost around $$3\mathrm{.}50/$gallon$,$ which truck should the owner purchase and why? Make sure to provide quantitative evidence to support your recommendation.
