A machine now in use, which was bought five years ago for $4,000, has been fully depreciated. It can be sold for $2,500 but could be used for three more years (remaining useful life), at the end of which time it would have no salvage value. The annual operating and maintenance costs for the old machine amount to $10,000. If you decide to retain the old machine for now, what will be the opportunity cost for gains taxed at 25%?
