Problem:
Your company is considering a replacement of an old delivery van with a new one that is more efficient. The old van cost $40,000 when it was purchased 5 years ago. The old van is being depreciated using the simplified straight line method over a useful life of 8 years. The old van could be sold today for $7,000. The new van has an invoice price of $80,000, and it will cost $6,000 to modify the van to carry the company products. Cost savings from use of the new van are expected to be $ 28,000 per year for 5 years. At which time the van will be sold for its estimated salvage value of $18,000.

The company's tax rate is 35%. The company's cost of capital is %15.
