CADIVINO) Your answer is partially correct. Try again. Linkin Corporation is considering purchasing a new delivery truck. The truck has many advantages over the company's current truck (not the least of which is that it runs). The new truck would cost $55,900. Because of the increased capacity, reduced maintenance costs, and increased fuel economy, the new truck is expected to generate cost savings of $3,600. At the end of 8 years, the company will sell the truck for an estimated $27,000. Traditionally the company has used a rule of thumb that a proposal should not be accepted unless it has a payback period that is less than 50% of the asset's estimated useful ife. Larry Newton, a new manager, has suppested that the company should not rely solely on the payback approach, but should also employ the net present value method when evaluating new projects.

The garage doesn't currently have a tow truck, and the $59,970 price tag for a new truck would represent a major expenditure. Jane Austen, owner of the garage, has compiled the estimates shown below in trying to determine whether the tow truck should be purchased. Initial cost $59,970 Estimated useful de 8 years Net annual cash flows from towing 18,020 Overhaul costs (end of year 4) $6,000 Salvage value $12,000 Jane's good friend, Rick Ryan, stopped by. He is trying to convince Jane that the tow truck will have other benefits that ane hasn't even considered. First, he says, cars that need towing need to be fred. Thus, when Jane tows them to her facility, her repair revenues will increase. Second, he notes that the tow truck could have a plow mounted on it, thus saving lane the cost of plowing her parking lot. (Rick will give her a used plow blade for free if Jane will plow Rick's driveway) Third, he notes that the truck will generate goodwill people who are rescued by Jane's tow truck will feel grateful and might be more inclined to use her service station in the future or buy gas there. Fourth, the tow truck will have "Jane's Auto Care on its doors, hood, and back tailgate-a form of free advertising wherever the tow truck goes. Rick estimates that, ata minimum, these benefits would be worth the following.
