Incremental operating cash flowsRichard and Linda Thomson operate a local lawn maintenance service for commercial and residential property. They have been using a John Deere riding mower for the past several years and believe that it is time to buy a new one. They would like to know the incremental (relevant) cash flows associated with the replacement of the old riding mower. The following data are available.

1. There are 5 years of remaining useful life on the old mower.

2. The old mower has a zero book value.

3. The new mower is expected to last 5 years.

4. The Thomsons will follow a 5-year MACRS

recovery period for the new mower.5. Depreciable value of the new lawn mower is $1,760.

6. They are subject to a 40% tax rate.

7. The new mower is expected to be more fuel-efficient, maneuverable, and will require less maintenance than the previous models which should result in reduced operating expenses of $510 per year.8. The Thomsons will buy a maintenance contract that calls for annual payments of $112 for the expected life of the mower.
