Sacramento Cab Company owns several taxis that were purchased for $25,000 each 4 years ago. The cabs’ current market value is $12,000 each, and if they are kept for another 6 years they can be sold for $2000 per cab. The annual maintenance cost per cab is $1000 per year. Sacramento Cab has been approached about a leasing plan that would replace the cabs. The leasing plan calls for payments of $6000 per year. The annual maintenance cost for each leased cab is $750 per year. Should the cabs be replaced if the interest rate is 10%?The local telephone company purchased four special pole hole diggers 8 years ago for $14,000 each. Owing to an increased workload, additional machines will soon be required.

Last year, a decision was made to keep the same equipment in lieu of
buying new equipment. The old equipment's trade-in value last year
was $4000 and its value this year is $2000. The operating cost was
$700 last year. If bought last year, the new equipment would have
cost $13K, the salvage value after 8 years would be $2000, and it
would have an annual operating cost of $4000.
If bought last year, what would have been the EUAC of the new
equipment (in dollars) at 16% interest rate per year? (provide your
answer in the box as a negative value if you arrive at costs)
What would have been the correct decision? (provide your answer
and justification in your pdf file submission)
