Question 19 of 20 < > View VlICITS Current Attempt in Progress -/5 ||| ... Pharoah's Auto Care is considering the purchase of a new tow truck. The garage doesn't currently have a tow truck, and the $59,960 price tag for a new truck would represent a major expenditure. Pharoah Austen, owner of the garage, has compiled the following estimates in trying to determine whether the tow truck should be purchased. Initial cost Estimated useful life Net annual cash flows from towing Overhaul costs (end of year 4) Salvage value $59,960 8 years $7,980 $5,960 $12,000 Pharoah's good friend, Rick Ryan, stopped by. He is trying to convince Pharoah that the tow truck will have other benefits that Pharoah hasn't even considered. First, he says, cars that need towing need to be fixed. Thus, when Pharoah 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 Pharoah the cost of plowing her parking lot. (Rick will give her a used plow blade for free if Pharoah will plow Rick's driveway.) Third, he notes that the truck will generate goodwill; people who are rescued by Pharoah'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 "Pharoah's Auto Care" on its doors, hood, and back tailgate-a form of free advertising wherever the tow truck goes. Rick estimates that, at a minimum, these benefits would be worth the following. Additional annual net cash flows from repair work $2,990 Annual savings from plowing 750 Additional annual net cash flows from customer "goodwill" 1,010 Additional annual net cash flows resulting from free advertising 760 The company's cost of capital is 9%.

(If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45). Round answer to O decimal places, e.g. 125. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.) Net present value $
