The company's pump has broken down and you have either an option to repair the current hydraulic pump press or trade in the old pump and purchase a brand new pump:
Option 1-Repair. The current pump would cost 50,000 to repair and press costs $2.500 to operate each month and can operate for another 12 years. It can be sold at $35,000 today or can be sold for $10,000 in 12 years time
2- purchase New: Sell the old hydraulic pump above and purchase a new press for $175,000, which costs $1,200 to operate each month for the next 12 years and can be sold for $15.000 at the end of 12 years.
