Explanation / Answer

Annual Dp of Old Elevator = 96050/5 = $19,210
Annul Dep New Eelvator = 159247/4 = $39,812

Book Value of Old Elevator = Cost - 1YrDep = 96050-19210 = $76,840
Sold for 25148
SO Loss on Sale = $76,840 - 25148 = $51,692 ...(C)

Net Income with Old elevator = Revenue - (Op Cost Fixed & Variable + S&A exp +Dep)
= 240010 - (34254+23836+28926+19210)
= $133,784 ............(D)

Net Income with new Elevator = 240010 - (9405+8820+28926+39812)
= $153,047............(E)

SO Increas in Net Income = D-E = $19,263 ....(F)

SO Net income for 4 yrs = 4*$19,263 = $77,052
Less Loss on Sale of Old elevator (C) 51692
---------------------------------------
So Net Gain if Old elevator is replaced $25,360
