A present asset (defender) has a current market value of$83,000.Estimated market values at the end of the next three years areMV1=$75,000,MV2=$63,000,MV3=$45,000. The corresponding annual expenses are $13,600, $14,200, and $14,800 for years 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The before-tax MARR is 14% per year. The best challenger has an economic life of 5 years and its associated EUAC is $39,025. Based on this information and a before-tax analysis, what are the marginal costs of the defender each year and when should you plan to replace the defender with the challenger?
