Amoco Canada has oil field equipment placed into service 5 years ago for which a replacement study has been requested. Due to its special purpose, it has been decided that the current equipment will have to serve for either 2, 3, or 4 more years before replacement. The equipment has a current market value of $100,000, which is expected to decrease by $25,000 per year. The AOC is constant now, and is expected to remain so, at $25,000 per year. The replacement challenger is a fixed-price contract to provide the same services at $60,000 per year for a minimum of 2 years and a maximum of 5 years. Use MARR of 12% per year to perform a replacement study over a 6-year period to determine when to sell the current equipment and purchase the contract services.
