Using the results from Question 1, compute the incremental annual revenues (cash inflows) if McCoy invests in the larger truck and trailer. Use the model in case Exhibit 1 to compute incremental annual expenses (cash outflows) if McCoy invests in the larger truck and trailer. Determine incremental annual cash flows for the larger truck and trailer

Results Question 1

Case 1: Current Trucks/ Trailers
number of calendar days needed to complete a one-acre job	Since, the number of calendar days cannot be decimal and is higher than 6, we will have to round off the days to 7 and not 6. So, days required to complete the job is 7.
maximum number of jobs McCoy could accept per year	Number of Jobs/ year = 365/ 6.103 = 59.8. We round it off to 59 as the number of jobs cannot be higher than the actual value.

Case 2: Larger Trucks/ Trailers
number of calendar days needed to complete a one-acre job	y = 9.66 days, so we consider the number of calendar days as 10.
maximum number of jobs McCoy could accept per year	Number of Jobs/ year = 365/ 9.66 37.78 or 37 jobs/ year

Background:

Exhibit 1 ACTUAL REVENUES AND COSTS FOR THE RESORT LAND-CLEARING JOB (in U.S. dollars) Per day Project Calendar days needed to complete the project Revenues Revenue per calendar day $375.00 Total revenues $2,625.00 Variable costs Transportation costs 80 Round trip distance (miles) Rate per mile Transportation costs per calendar day Total transportation costs $0.63 $50.40 (352.80) Shepherd and dog $190.00 Rate per calendar day Total shepherd and dog costs (1330.00 Total variable costs per calendar day Contribution margin $240.40 (1,682.80) $134.60 $942.20 Fixed costs Setup (100.00) Fencing 962 ear feet Rate per linear foot Total fencing costs S0.75 Total fixed costs 82150 Profit $120.70 The area cleared was one acre, or 43,560 square feet. At a daily forage rate of 250 square feet per goat, the job required 174.24 goat days. The trailer has a capacity of 25 goats, so it would take 6.97 days for the goats to finish clearing the land By agreement, McCoy billed for a full trailer (25 goats) for a full day each day the goats were on site. Therefore, McCoy billed the owner for seven calendar days (175 goat days).
