Bilboa Freightlines, S.A., of Panama, has a small truck that it uses for intracity deliveries. The truck is worn out and must be either overhauled or replaced with a new truck. The company has assembled the following information:

	Present Truck			New Truck
Purchase cost new	$	33,000		$	40,000
Remaining book value	$	24,000			-
Overhaul needed now	$	23,000			-
Annual cash operating costs	$	22,000		$	20,500
Salvage value-now	$	7,000			-
Salvage value-five years from now	$	25,000		$	14,000

If the company keeps and overhauls its present delivery truck, then the truck will be usable for five more years. If a new truck is purchased, it will be used for five years, after which it will be traded in on another truck. The new truck would be diesel-operated, resulting in a substantial reduction in annual operating costs, as shown above.
