    The answer is: A) the book value of the old equipment.

    Explanation:

    When you are evaluating whether to buy new production equipment or not, you should consider the costs of the new equipment, operating costs, or any possible resale value of the old equipment. The book value of the old equipment is irrelevant only its resale price matters.
