Carol's Cupcakes relies heavily on an industrial mixer to produce its yummy treats. Recently the mixer has not functioned well and some cupcake batches were not being produced. A major overhaul costing $10,700 would make the current mixer work properly for the balance of its useful life. Management is considering updating the mixer with a newer improved model model.

	Current Mixer	New Model
Original Purchase Cost	$30,300	$23,300
Accumulated Depreciation	16,900	---
Estimated Operating Costs	3,200	2,100
Useful Life	5 years	5 years

If sold now, the current mixer would have a salvage value of $4,300. If operated for the remainder of its useful life, the current mixer would have zero salvage value. The new mixer is expected to have zero salvage value after 5 years.Prepare an analysis to show whether the company should retain or replace the mixer by copying and completing the below chart in the answer area
