Answer:
$ 102,100
Explanation:
Based on the scenario been described in the question the incremental Analysis for replacement of old equipment:
Cost of New used lift
$ 190,500
Saving in Incremental Cost of Repair of old lift
$ (45,000)
Reduction in Annual operating expenses = $25,600 * 6 years
$ (153,600)
Annual Rent revenue from new used lift = $11,000*6 years
$ (66,000)
Sale price of old lift
$ (28,000)
Saving in Incremental Costs
$ (102,100)
Net income increase
$ 102,100
Hence, the net income shall increase by $102,100 if the old liftis replaced.
