At the time of installation, the service life was estimated to be 10 years and zero salvage value at the end .Operating costs amount to $22,000/year. At the present time, the remaining service life of the equipment to be 3 years.
A proposal has been made to replace the present piece of property by one more advanced design. The proposed equipment would cost $ 40,000, and the operating costs would be $ 15,000 per year.
