Jones Excavation Company is planning an investment of $125,000 for a bulldozer. The bulldozer is expected to operate for 1,000 hours per year for five years. Customers will be charged $90 per hour for bulldozer work. The bulldozer operator costs $30 per hour in wages and benefits. The bulldozer is expected to require annual maintenance costing $7,500. The bulldozer uses fuel that is expected to cost $15 per hour of bulldozer operation.

a. Determine the equal annual net cash flows from operating the bulldozer.
Jones Excavation Company
Equal Annual Net Cash Flows
Cash inflows:
Hours of operation
Revenue per hour
x

Revenue per year
$90,000
Cash outflows:
Hours of operation
1,000
Fuel cost per hour
$15
Labor cost per hour

Total fuel and labor costs per hour
× $45
Fuel and labor costs per year

Feedback
a. Subtract the operating expenses (hourly fuel and labor costs, multiplied by the operating hours, plus the annual maintenance costs) from the revenues (operating hours multiplied by the hourly revenue).
b. Determine the net present value of the investment, assuming that the desired rate of return is 10%. Use the table of present value of an annuity of $1 table above. Round to the nearest dollar.
Present value of annual net cash flows
$142,163
Amount to be invested
125,000
Net present value
17,163
c. Should Jones invest in the bulldozer, based on this analysis?
Yes
, because the bulldozer cost is
less than
the present value of the cash flows at the minimum desired rate of return of 10%.
d. Determine the number of operating hours such that the present value of cash flows equals the amount to be invested. Round interim calculations and final answer to the nearest whole number.
what are the hours? I got 619 but its wrong
