Ten years ago, Johnson Recovery purchased a wrecker for $330, 000 to move disabled 18-wheelers. He received a salvage value of $25, 000 after 10 years of use. During this 10-year period, his average annual revenue totaled $60, 000. a) Did he recover his investment at 12% per year return? In other words, does the Annual Equivalent Value of the benefits exceed the Capital Recovery cost at an interest rate of 12%? b) Suppose Johnson moves, on average, 250 disabled 18-wheelers each year. What is his average equivalent benefit/cost per vehicle moved? c) Now, incorporate annual operating and maintenance costs into your analysis. If the annual O&M cost was $5, 000 the first year and increased by a constant 10% per year, what is the annual equivalent worth at 12% per year?

Also calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) of the project and then present a break-even analysis (BEA). At what point does break-even occur?
The annual benefits of $4,000 every year for three years may be obtained for an investment on a production equipment costing $20,000 with a salvage value of $5,000. If the interest rate is 6%, choose the right equation to determine the NPW. Group of answer choices NPW = -20,000 + 4,000(P/A, 6%, 3) + 5,000(P/F, 6%, 3) NPW = -20,000(P/F, 6%, 3) + 4,000(P/A, 6%, 3) + 5,000(P/F, 6%, 3) NPW = 20,000(F/P, 6%, 3) + 4,000(F/A, 6%, 3) + 5,000 NPW = 20,000(P/F, 6%, 3) + 4,000(F/A, 6%, 3) + 5,000
