Since this contract would represent new business, the company would have to purchase several new heavy-duty trucks at a cost of $350,000 if the contract were accepted.Other data relating to the contract follow:

Annual Cash Revenue $ 400,000.-

Annual Cash Expense $ 295,000.-

Cost of replacing the motors in the trucks in the fourth year $ 18,000.-

Cost of Advertising in the second year $ 3,000.-
