Jimmy's Retail
Jimmy's Retail is considering an investment in a delivery truck. Jimmy has found a used truck that he can purchase for $8,000. He estimates the truck would last six years and increase his store's net cash revenues by $2,000 per year. At the end of six years, the truck would have no salvage value and would be discarded. Jimmy will depreciate the truck using the straight-line method.
