Answer:

Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300

The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine.

Explanation:

<em>Differential Analysis</em>

Purchase cost of the new machine                                 (83,000)

Savings from annual variable cost(8500×8)                   68,000

Variable cost of running the new machine (5,000×8)   (40,000)

Scrap value of the old machine                                    <u>    56,300 </u>  

Differential savings                                                       <u>      1,300   </u>

Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300

The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine. It is a past cost incurred as a result old decision.
