The owner of a goat herd had successfully rented a portion of his herd to clear land at a nearby resort. The resort land clearing job generated a small profit and now the owner is evaluating the prospects of bidding on similar land clearing projects in the area. The owner believes that profitability for this line of business is constrained by the size of the truck and trailer used to transport the goats to the job site. He reasons that a larger truck and trailer would allow him to transport more goats to the job site each day, generating incremental revenues. He also realizes that a larger truck and trailer would result in increased operating costs. The owner determines the investment needed to upgrade the truck and trailer. He must then determine if incremental revenues and costs associated with the larger truck and trailer would justify the initial investment. This case provides a realistic analysis of incremental revenues and costs in the context of capital budgeting. The (B) case can be used independently of the (A) case if the professor wishes to focus exclusively on capital budgeting.
