Question

Diamse Engineering Corporation bought 72 inches vertical boring machine ten years ago for 90,000 with an expected life of 20 years. The new management anticipated now that the machine will serve well for another 6 years only and purchase a new machine at 120,000 with an expected life of 16 years. The old machine is depreciated as anticipated and can be sold now at 60,000. Operating cost of the old machine is 1,000 and the new machine at 500 per year. Salvage value is 10% of the initial value for both machines regardless of the length of time they are used. If money is worth 10% to the company, should the old machine be replaced or not and how much is the difference of the annual cost for both alternatives. Use Annual Cost Method.
