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. 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
