(Cash flows and NPV for a new project) Syracuse Roadbuilding Company is considering
the purchase of a new tandem box dump truck. The truck costs $95,000, and an additional

sold for $40,000 after its five-year life. An inventory investment of $4,000 is required during
the life of the investment. Syracuse Roadbuilding is in the 45% income tax bracket.
