A recent graduate who wants to start an excava­tion/earth-moving business is trying to determine which size of used dump truck to buy. He knows that as the bed size increases, the net income in­creases, but he is uncertain whether the incremen­tal expenditure required for the larger trucks is justified. The cash flows associated with each size truck are estimated below. The contractor has es­tablished a MARR of 18% per year, and all trucks are expected to have a remaining economic life of 5 years. (a) Determine which size truck he should purchase. (b) If two trucks are to be purchased, what should be the size of the second truck?
