It was being depreciated usingstraight-line to an expected salvage value of zero over itsoriginal 10-year life and could now be sold for $40,000. Thereplacement machine would cost $190,000 and have a five-yearexpected life. It would be depreciated using the MACRS 5-year classlife. The actual expected salvage value of this machine after fiveyears is $20,000. The new machine is expected to operate much moreefficiently, saving $6,000 per year in energy costs.
