The project will require an initial investment of $15,000, but the project will also be using a company-owned truck that is not currently being used. This truck could be sold for $9,000, after taxes, if the project is rejected. What should Yeatman do to take this information into account? Increase the NPV of the project by $9,000. The company does not need to do anything with the value of the truck because the truck is a sunk cost. Increase the amount of the initial investment by $9,000
