Esteez Construction Company has an overhead crane that has an estimated remaining life of 7 years. The crane can be sold for $14,000. If the crane is kept in service it must be overhauled immediately at a cost of $6,000. Operating and maintenance costs will be $5,000/year after the crane is overhauled. After overhauling it, the crane will have a zero salvage value at the end of the 7-year period. A new crane will cost $36,000, will last for 7 years, and will have a $8000 salvage value at that time. Operating and maintenance costs are $2,500 for the new crane. Esteez uses an interest rate of 15% in evaluating investment alternatives. Should the company buy the new crane based upon an annual cost analysis?
