Feedback
 

a. Subtract the operating expenses (hourly fuel and labor costs, multiplied by the operating hours, plus the annual maintenance costs) from the revenues (operating hours multiplied by the hourly revenue).

b.  Determine the net present value of the investment, assuming that the desired rate of return is 10%. Use the table of present value of an annuity of $1 table above. Round to the nearest dollar.

Present value of annual net cash flows $fill in the blank 53e0ea043ff1037_1
Amount to be invested fill in the blank 53e0ea043ff1037_2
Net present value $fill in the blank 53e0ea043ff1037_3

c.  Should Jones invest in the bulldozer, based on this analysis?
Yes , because the bulldozer cost is less than  the present value of the cash flows at the minimum desired rate of return of 10%.

d.  Determine the number of operating hours such that the present value of cash flows equals the amount to be invested. Round interim calculations and final answer to the nearest whole number.
