The johnson company pays 2000 a month to a trucker to haul


The Johnson Company pays $2,000 a month to a trucker to haul wastepaper and cardboard to the city dump. The material could be recycled if the company were to buy a $60,000 hydraulic press baler and spend $30,000 a year for labor to operate the baler. The baler has an estimated useful life of 30 years and no salvage value. Strapping material would cost $2,000 per year for the estimated 500 bales a year that would be produced. A wastepaper company will pick up the bales at the plant and pay Johnson $23 per bale for them. Use an annual cash flow analysis and an interest rate of 8% to recommend whether it is economical to install and operate the baler.
