25.
An old machine that originally cost $9,500
thus far has accumulated depreciation of
$1,900. The remaining useful life is four
years, with no salvage value at the end of its
useful life. A new machine is now available
that costs $8,500, with a useful life of five
years and no residual value. The old machine
could be sold now for $3,100. The annual
cash operating costs for the old machine are
$5,000, but for the new machine they would
e only $2,500. Gross revenue from the
products would be $12,000 annually for either
machine. The company should
A) keep the old machine to avoid an $8,500 decrease in cash.
B) keep the old machine to avoid a $3,100 loss on its disposal.
C) keep the old machine to avoid a $4,500 loss on its disposal.
