The new machine has a 5-year life with no residual value. The new machine would reduce annual maintenance costs by $23,000. Provide a differential analysis on the proposal to replace the commercial oven. Annual maintenance cost reduction $ Number of years applicable Total differential decrease in cost $ Proceeds from sale of equipment $ Cost of new equipment Net differential decrease in cost from replacing equipment
