Equipment purchased 2 years ago by Newport Corporation to make pneumatic vibration isolators cost $122,000. It has a market value that can be described by the relation $122,000 – $8,000k, where k is the years from time of purchase. The operating cost for the first 5 years is $53,000 per year, after which it increases by $6,900 per year. The asset’s salvage value was originally estimated to be $7000 after a predicted 10-year useful life. Determine the values of P, S, and AOC if (a) a replacement study is done now and it is assumed that the equipment will be kept a maximum of one more year, and (b) a replacement study is done 5 years from now and it is assumed that the equipment will be kept a maximum of only one more year after that. eBook Hint Print a) The value of Pis $ The value of Sis $ The value of AOC is $ b) The value of Pis $ The value of S is $ The value of AOC is $ References
