HCT purchased a printing server Al, 7 years ago for $50,000. Unfortunately, this server has broken down and cannot be repaired. The server could be replaced by a new and advanced All costing S60,000 or by a new technology SIl costing $40,000. Management has decided to buy the SIl machine. It has less CPU and computing power than the model All machine, but its specifications are sufficient to support normal services. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of stop printing and go digitally. If that were done, the $40,000 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of $85,000, In making the decision to buy the SII model rather than the model All server, the differential cost is O $50,000. O $60,000 O $20,000. O $30,000,
