Problem 14-28 (Algo) Net Present Value Analysis [LO14-2]

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

	Present Truck	New Truck
Purchase cost (new)	$ 25,000	$ 31,000
Remaining book value	$ 12,000	-
Overhaul needed now	$ 8,000	-
Annual cash operating costs	$ 13,000	$ 10,500
Salvage value-now	$ 6,000	-
Salvage value-five years from now	$ 5,000	$ 6,000

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

The company computes depreciation on a straight-line basis and uses a 14% discount rate.
