    The relevant data collected in respect to both these trucks are presented in the table below:
    Relevant parameters M-1 M-2
    Purchase cost (Rs.) 11,50,000 12,80,000
    Operating cost in rupees per km. 8 6
    Useful life in years 15 15
    Kms. Per gallon of fuel 55 60
    (i) Compute the vehicle life cycle cost of both the trucks.
    (ii) Determine the break-even point in kms. between these two trucks.
    (iii) Compute the payback period of both the trucks in years.
    (iv) Also outline the managerial insights for this case on hand.
