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	$	38,000		$	48,000
Remaining book value	$	28,000			-
Overhaul needed now	$	27,000			-
Annual cash operating costs	$	20,000		$	18,500
Salvage value-now	$	10,000			-
Salvage value-five years from now	$	14,000		$	12,000

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.

The company computes depreciation on a straight-line basis. All investment projects are evaluated using a 7% discount rate.

1. Use the total-cost approach to net present value. (Any cash outflows should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places.)
