Apricot Computers is considering replacing its material handling system and either purchasing or leasing a new system. The old system has an annual operating and maintenance cost of $34,000, a remaining life of 8 years, and an estimated salvage value of $4,100 at that time. A new system can be purchased for $275,000; it will be worth $23,000 in 8 years; and it will have annual operating and maintenance costs of $18,000/year. If the new system is purchased, the old system can be traded in for $20,000. Leasing a new system will cost $23,000/year, payable at the beginning of the year, plus operating costs of $8,200/year, payable at the end of the year.
