oyer Digital Components Company assembles circuit boards by using a manually operated machine to insert electronic components. The original cost of the machine is $63,700, the accumulated depreciation is $25,500, its remaining useful life is five years, and its residual value is negligible. On May 4 of the current year, a proposal was made to replace the present manufacturing procedure with a fully automatic machine that has a purchase price of $132,500. The automatic machine has an estimated useful life of five years and no significant residual value.
