Question:
Smith Concrete Company owns enough ready-mix trucks to deliver up to 100,000 cubic yards of concrete per year (considering each truck's capacity, weather, and distance to each job). Total truck depreciation is $200,000 per year. Raw materials (cement, gravel, and so on) cost about $25 per cubic yard of cement.
Required:
Prepare a graph for truck depreciation. Use the vertical axis for cost and the horizontal axis for cubic yards of cement. Select the following amounts from the graph:
Depreciation cost of truck if it delivers 30,000 cubic yards of concrete in one year.
Depreciation cost of truck if it delivers 70,000 cubic yards of concrete in one year.
