-The truck's basic price is $50,000, and it will cost another $10,000 to modify the truck for special use by your firm.
-The truck falls into the MACRS five year class life(applicable annual percentages are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11% and 6%) and the truck will be sold after two years for $40,000.
-Use of the truck requires an increase in net working capital by your company of $2,000 (capital is used to purchase spare parts inventory).
