Incremental Analysis and Decision Making
Crone Enterprises uses a word processing computer to handle
its sales invoices. Lately, business has been so good that it takes an extra 3
hours per night, plus every third Saturday, to keep up with the volume of sales
invoices. Management is considering updating its computer with a faster model
that would eliminate all of the overtime processing.

Original purchase cost $15,000 $21,000
Accumulated depreciation 6,000 —-
Estimated operating costs 24,000 20,000
Useful life 5 years 5 years
If sold now, the current machine would have a salvage value
of $ 5,000. If operated for the remainder of its useful life, the current
machine would have zero salvage value. The new machine is expected to have zero
salvage value after 5 years.
Should the current machine be replaced? ( Ignore the time
