The old machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis and its estimated salvage value 3 years from now is zero. The new machine will reduce costs (before taxes) by $7,000 per year.  It has a 3-year life; with an installed cost of $14,000; and it can be sold for an expected $2,000 at the end of the third year.
