A commercial oven with a book value of $67,000 has an estimated remaining 5 year life. A proposal is offered to sell the oven for $8,500 and replace it with a new oven costing $110,000. The new machine has a 5-year life with no residual value. The new machine would reduce annual maintenance costs by $23,000. Provide a differential analysis on the proposal to replace the commercial oven. Annual maintenance cost reduction $ Number of years applicable Total differential decrease in cost $ Proceeds from sale of equipment $ Cost of new equipment Net differential decrease in cost from replacing equipment

Respuesta :

Answer:

It should replace the equipment

Explanation:

                                         continue replace Differential

Proceeds from sale             -              8,500            8,500

Cost  

purchase                                -           -110,000        -110,000

cost savings (5 years)                           115,000         115,000

Total cost                                 -               5,000           5,000
