Meade metals inc plans to start doing its own deliveries


Meade Metals Inc. plans to start doing its own deliveries instead of using an outside service for which it has been paying $150,000 per year. To make the change, Meade will purchase a $300,000 truck that will depreciate straight-line over 10 years to a $35,000 salvage value. Annual operating expenses are estimated at $80,000, including insurance, fuel, and maintenance on the truck, as well as the cost of a driver. Management plans to sell the truck after five years for $100,000. Mead's tax rate is 40%. Develop the project's five-year cash flows. (Hint: Treat as a replacement project. Savings are the difference in the contractor's cost and that of operating the truck with an old asset sale in the last year.)
