An asset with a first cost of $250,000 is expected to have a maximum useful life

Question

An asset with a first cost of $250,000 is expected to have a maximum useful life of 10 years and a market value that decreases $25,000 each year. The annual operating cost is expected to be constant at $25,000 per year for 5 years and to increase at a substantial 25% per year thereafter. The interest rate is a low 4% per year, because the company, Public Services Corp., is majority-owned by a municipality and regarded as a semiprivate corporation that enjoys public project interest rates on its loans. Verify that the ESL is 5 years. Is the ESL sensitive to the changing market value and AOC estimates? The engineer doing a replacement analysis determines that this asset should have an ESL of 10 years when it is pitted against any challenger. If the estimated AOC series has proved to be correct, determine the minimum market value that will make ESL equal 10 years. Solve by hand or spreadsheet as instructed. A new gear grinding machine for composite materials has a first cost of P = $100,000 and can be used for a maximum of 6 years. Its salvage value is estimated by the relation S = P(0.85)",
