The southwest trucking company is medium-sized freight line


The Southwest Trucking Company (STC) is a medium-sized freight line started with very limited capital to serve the independent gas station operators in the arid Southwest. All of its trucks are identical. STC has been contracting its truck overhaul work to ABC Automotive for exist4, 500 per truck per year. STC estimates that, by building a $650,000 maintenance facility with a life of 9 years and a residual (market) value of $175,000 at the end of its life, they could handle their own overhaul at the cost of only $2, 900 per truck per year. What is the minimum number of trucks that they must operate to make it economically feasible to build this facility? The MARR is 25% per year. (Enter your answer as a number without the dollar exist sigh.)
