Pompeii's Pizza has a delivery car that it uses for pizza deliveries. The transmission needs to be replaced and there are several other repairs that need to be done. The car is nearing the end of its life, so the options are to either overhaul the car or replace it with a new car. Pompeii's has put together the following budgetary items:
Present Car | New Car | |
Purchase cost new | $32,000 | |
Transmission and other repairs | $9,000 | |
Annual cash operating cost | 12,000 | 10,000 |
Fair market value now | 5,000 | |
Fair market value in five years | 1,000 | 5,000 |
If Pompeii’s replaces the transmission of the pizza delivery vehicle, they expect to be able to use the vehicle for another 5 years. If they sell the old vehicle and purchase a new vehicle, they will use that vehicle for 5 years and then trade it in for another new pizza delivery vehicle. If they trade for the new delivery vehicle, their operating expenses will decrease because the new vehicle is more gas efficient and the maintenance on a new car is less.
