A machine purchased 1 year ago for $85,000 costs more to operate than anticipated. When purchased, the machine was expected to be used for 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $22,000 and a $10,000 salvage value. However, last year, it cost the company $35,000 to maintain it, and these costs are expected to escalate to $36,500 this year and increase by $1500 each year thereafter. The market value is now estimated to be $85,000 - $10,000k, where k is the number of years since the machine was purchased. It is now estimated that this machine will be useful for a maximum of 5 more years. A replacement study is to be performed now. Determine the values of P, n, AOC, and S of this defender.

Value of S=$25000.

Explanation:

Value of P = $75000

Value of n = 5 years

Value of AOC = $36000 + $1500k (k=1 to 5)

Since the salvage value would be after 5 years=

S = ($75000 - $10000*5) = $75000 - $50000 = $25000.

Value of S=$25000.
