Bridgeport Inc. has an industrial sewing machine that it has used for the past 5 years. The company is considering replacing the machine with a faster model as it is starting to break down more often. As it will be faster and eliminate overtime, it will increase operating income by $4,850 per year over its useful life of 8 years. Current Machine New Machine Original purchase cost $48,200 $29,200 Accumulated depreciation $23,500 Remaining useful life 8 years 8 years If sold now, the current sewing machine would have a salvage value of $15,300. If it is used for the remainder of its useful life, the current sewing machine would have zero salvage value. The new sewing machine is expected to have zero salvage value after 8 years.
