First, develop the spreadsheet to confirm the re­placement study decision conducted for Randall- Rico Consultants in Problem 11.31. Then answer the questions below posed by Mr. Randall in a meeting when he was informed of the results of the replacement study.

(a) I want to buy the new graphical plotter. What is the required purchase price of the new plotter to make me indifferent between buy­ing it and keeping the old one?
(b) How much of a trade-in do I have to get for the old plotter to make me indifferent be­tween retaining it (with the current ESL) and buying the new one? Is this the economically correct decision?
Problem 11.31

Randall-Rico Consultants, 5 years ago, pur­chased for $45,000 a microwave signal graphi­cal plotter for corrosion detection in concrete structures. It is expected to have the market val­ues and annual operating costs shown for its re­maining useful life of up to 3 years. It could be traded now at an appraised market value of $8000.

A replacement plotter with new Internet-based, digital technology costs $125,000, has an esti­mated salvage value of 8% of the purchase price after its 5-year life, and an AOC of 20% of its pur­chase price. At an interest rate of 15% per year, determine how many more years Randall-Rico should retain the present plotter.
