Video) (Part Level Submission) Bonita'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. Bonita Austen, owner of the garage, has compiled the estimates shown below in trying to determine whether the tow truck should be purchased Initial cost $59,960 Estimated useful life 8 years Net annual cash flows from towing $7,980 Overhaul costs (end of year 4) $5,960 Salvage value $12,000 Bonita's good friend, Rick Ryan, stopped by. He is trying to convince Bonita that the tow truck will have other benefits that Bonita hasn't even considered. First, he says, cars that need towing need to be fixed. Thus, when Bonita 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 Bonita the cost of plowing her parking lot. (Rick will give her a used plow blade for free if Bonita will plow Rick's driveway.) Third, he notes that the truck will generate goodwill; people who are rescued by Bonita'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 "Bonita'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 Should the tow truck be purchased? The tow truck be purchased.
