A certain company is considering the use of a concrete electric pole in the expansion
of its power distribution lines. A concrete pole cost 18,000 each and will last 20 years. The company is presently using wooden poles which cost 12,000 per pole and will last 10 years. Assume annual taxes amount to 1 percent of first cost and zero salvage value in both cases. Money is worth 12 percent.
1.3. Excluding interest on capital, what is the annual cost of the concrete pole?
1.4. Using ROR on additional investment, which pole should be used?

- The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given here. The company’s cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life? If not, then what is its optimal economic life? Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project?arrow_forwardYour firm needs a computerized machine tool lathe which costs $47,000 and requires $11,700 in maintenance for each year of its 3- year life.
