k You are trying to pick the least-expensive car for your new delivery service. You have two choices: the Kia Rio, which will cost $17,000 to purchase and which will have OCF of -$1,800 annually throughout the vehicle's expected life of three years as a delivery vehicle; and the Toyota Prius, which will cost $25,000 to purchase and which will have OCF of -$950 annually throughout that vehicle's expected 4-year life. Both cars will be worthless at the end of their life. If you intend to replace whichever type of car you choose with the same thing when its life runs out, again and again out into the foreseeable future. If the business has a cost of capital of 12 percent, calculate the EAC. Note: Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. EAC Rio EAC Prius Which one should you choose?

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Your company is contemplating replacing their current fleet of delivery vehicles with Nissan NV vans. You will be replacing 5 fully-depreciated vans, which you think you can sell for $3,700 a piece and which you could probably use for another 2 years if you chose not to replace them. The NV vans will cost $36,000 each in the configuration you want them, and can be depreciated using MACRS over a 5-year life, but you are unable to make use of either bonus depreciation or Section 179 expensing. Expected yearly before-tax cash savings due to acquiring the new vans amounts to about $4,400 each. If your cost of capital is 12 percent and your firm faces a 21 percent tax rate, what will the cash flows for this project be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
