The farm pays part-time workers $190,000 per year to pick the cherries. b. The cherry picker would cost $510,000, have a 10 -year useful life with no salvage value, and be depreciated using the straight-line method. c. The cherry picker's annual out-of-pocket costs would be cost of an operator and an assistant, $92,000; insurance, $1,000; fuel, $9,000, and a maintenance contract, $12,000.
