Briggs Excavation Company is planning an investment of $228,600 for a bulldozer. The bulldozer is expected to operate for 2,000 hours per year for six years. Customers will be charged $120 per hour for bulldozer work. The bulldozer operator costs $37 per hour in wages and benefits. The bulldozer is expected to require annual maintenance costing $20,000. The bulldozer uses fuel that is expected to cost $48 per hour of bulldozer operation.
