8. Parker Chemicals purchased a hexene extractor 10 years ago for $120,000. It is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over 15 years to an estimated salvage value of zero. It can be sold today for $10,000. Parker is considering purchasing a new more efficient extractor that would cost $270,000 installed and would be depreciated as a 10-year MACRS asset.
