Hi please help me with this entire problem Ivanhoe Roofing is faced with a decision. The company relies very heavily on the use of its 60-foot extension lift for work on large
homes and commercial properties. Last year, Ivanhoe Roofing spent $67,800 refurbishing the lift. It has just determined that another
$32,000 of repair work is required. Alternatively, it has found a newer used lift that is for sale for $136,000. The company estimates
that both lifts would have useful lives of 6 years. The new lift is more efficient and thus would reduce operating expenses by about
$22,600 per year. Ivanhoe Roofing could also rent out the new lift for about $8,000 per year. The old lift is not suitable for rental. The
old lift could currently be sold for $20,000 if the new lift is purchased.
Prepare an incremental analysis showing whether the company should repair or replace the equipment. (Enter negative amounts
using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g.-45 or parentheses e.g.(45).)
