Exercise 9-7 Sarasota Industries is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $324,000 to replace existing equipment that will be sold for $48,600. The new equipment is expected to have a $54,000 salvage value at the end of its 1-year life. During the period of its use, the equipment will allow the company to produce and sell an additional 8,100 units annually at a sales price of $5 per unit. Those units will have a variable cost of $3 per unit. The company will also incur an additional $24,300 in annual fixed costs. Click here to view the factor table.
