Tesla management are trying to decide whether to keep an older piece of machinery or buy a replacement. Management was

presented with the following information to assist in their decision:

The old machine was purchased three years ago for $$308,000$ and has a current book value using straight$-$line depreciation of

$$179,000.$

The old machine incurs operating expenses of $$36,000$ per year.

The current disposal value of the old machine is $$85,000$; if it is kept eleven more years, its remaining value would be $$17,000.$

The replacement machine would cost $$234,000$ and have a useful life of eleven years.

The replacement machine has an expected salvage value of $$77,000$ after eleven years.

The replacement machine would require $$8,000$ per year in operating expenses.
