Facts: Your firm produces and leases vehicles while reimbursing customers for the cost of fuel of these vehicles. Each customer pays you $2,000 a year to operate a vehicle for ten years. Over the life of a vehicle, the customer drives 20 miles a day for 300 days a year for ten years before scrapping the vehicle (for 60,000 miles in total). The price of gas is now $2 a gallon. The steel vehicle consumes 0.04 gallons per mile (or...
