MANUAL COMPUTATIONNO EXCEL State-of-the-art digital imaging equipment purchased 2 years ago for $50,000 had an expected useful life of 5 years and a $5,000 salvage value. After its installation the performance was poor, and it was upgraded for $20,000 one year ago. Increased demand now requires another upgrade for an additional $22,000 so that it can be used for 3 more years. Its new annual operating cost will be $27,000 with a $12,000 salvage value after 3 years. Alternatively, it can be replaced with new equipment costing $65,000, an estimated AOC of $14,000, and an expected salvage value of $23,000 after 3 years.
