New microelectronics testing equipment was purchased 2 years ago by Mytesmall Industries at a cost of $600,000. At that time, it was expected to be used for 5 years and then traded or sold for its salvage value of $75,000. Expanded business in newly developed international markets is forcing the decision to trade now for a new unit at a cost of $800,000. The current equipment could be retained, if necessary, for another 2 years, at which time it would have a $5000 estimated market value. The current unit is appraised at $350,000 on the international market, and if it is used for another 2 years, it will have M&O costs (exclusive of operator costs) of $125,000 per year. Determine the values of P, n, S, and AOC for this defender if a replacement analysis were performed today.
