You are the owner/operator of a small transportation enterprise. Your only semi-tractor, a 2011 White Freightliner in service for 3,160,888 miles, needs to be replaced.

Downtime is reducing revenues, customer service is negatively impacted, and repair costs are mounting. You are evaluating two new tractors. The 2011 tractor will become a lawn ornament at a local university.

Factors:

Operating hours per day = 22

Operating days per week = 7

Weeks of operation per year = 50

Average miles per hour = 51.8

Projected fuel price per gallon = $3.30

Tractor A:

2020 White Freightliner; priced @ $169,000; EPA miles per gallon rating = 5.75; insurance per year = $7,900; routine annual maintenance = $28,000.

Tractor B:

2020 Volvo; priced @ $186,000; EPA miles per gallon rating = 6.8; insurance per year = $8,800; routine annual maintenance = $34,000.

Questions to be answered:

1. How many miles per year will the new tractor travel?

2. What are the total operating costs per year for each of the tractors being evaluated, including depreciation based upon 6 years (purchase price/6)?

3. What is the total cost per mile driven for each of the two tractors being evaluated? Calculate cost per mile for only the first year of operation.

4. Make a purchase choice between the 2 new tractors.

Note: Do not factor in discounted cash flow, interest, residual value. Only use the givens. Work answers out to 3 decimals. Show your math.

OSCM Assignment 2 – Cost Justification

Your mission is to determine whether or not to purchase replacement equipment based upon the numbers given below.

Existing Equipment:

• Depreciation Cost Per Year = -0- (fully depreciated)

• Maintenance Cost = $13,000 per year

• Operator Labor = 2 people per shift, $13.50 per hour, 2080 hours worked per person, 2 shifts of operation @ 8 hours each

• Grand Total Overtime Hours = 333 per year

• Employee Benefits = 40% of all wages

• NRG Consumption = $73 per operating day

Note: Overtime hours are paid at a rate of 150% of regular pay for hours over 8 per shift.

Proposed Replacement Equipment:

• Depreciation Cost Per Year of Proposed Equipment = Purchase price of $240,000; economic life of 8 years; straight line

• Maintenance Cost = $12,000 per year

• Operator Labor = 1 person per shift, $13.50 per hour, 2080 hours worked per person, 2 shifts of operation @ 8 hours each

• Grand Total Overtime Hours = -0-
