XYZ Companys machine was purchased 5 years ago for $55,000. It had an expected life of 10 years when it was bought, and its remaining depreciation is $5,500 per year for each year of its remaining life and can be sold for $20,000 at the end of its useful life. A new machine can be purchased for $120,000, including the installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $30,000 per year. Sales revenue will not be affected. At the end of its useful life, the machine is estimated to be sold at $10,000. We will use MARCS depreciation, and the machine will be depreciated over its 5-year property class life. The old machine can be sold today for $35,000.
