Information about these vehicles is listed below: • Purchase price: $29,850 per vehicle • PST: $2,388 per vehicle • GST: $1,493 per vehicle • New tires and brakes for all six vehicles: $4,500 total. • Estimated annual costs for oil changes and regular maintenance: $120 per vehicle Before investing in new vehicles, Polaris must dispose of their current fleet of 5 vehicles that were purchased on April 1, 2016 at a total cost of $285,000. When purchased, the old vehicles were expected to have a life of 6 years with a residual value of $2,000 per vehicle. Disposal of the old vehicles will occur on September 1, 2020, to coincide with the arrival of the new vehicles. Polaris has a December 31st year end and records depreciation expense annually.
