Work to do :

(The government requires payment of license fees for vehicles even if they are not in use.) What costs from the previous list are relevant to this decision? Explain your answer.

c) Suppose the company decides to use the truck in the second year. Towards the end of the year, she receives an order from a customer who lives more than 1,000 kilometers away. Which costs from the previous list are relevant in the decision to use the truck to make the delivery or to entrust this task to a specialized company? Explain your answer.

d) Sometimes the company needs two trucks at the same time. Management is considering the possibility of purchasing a second. The total number of kilometers driven would be the same as for one of these vehicles. Which costs from the previous list are relevant in deciding whether or not to buy this second truck? Explain your answer.
