Sheridan's Auto Care is considering the purchase of a new tow truck. The garage doesn't currently have a tow truck, and the $59,950 price tag for a new truck would represent a major expenditure. Sheridan Austen, owner of the garage, has compiled the following estimates in trying to determine whether the tow truck should be purchased. Sheridan's good friend, Rick Ryan, stopped by. He is trying to convince Sheridan that the tow truck will have other benefits that Sheridan hasn't even considered. First, he says, cars that need towing need to be (jxed. Thus, when Sheridan 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 Sheridan the cost of plowing her parking lot. (Rick will give her a used plow blade for free if Sheridan will plow Rick's driveway) Third, he notes that the truck will generate goodwill: people who are rescued by Sheridan'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 "Sheridan'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. Your answer has been saved. See score details after the due date.
