AirExpress's CFO has recently proposed to replace the old plane with a modern Boeing 777 plane that expected to LAST arrow-10x10.png for 15 years. The new plane will cost $75,000,000, will provide $3,000,000 savings in operating and MAINTENANCE arrow-10x10.pngcosts, will increase revenues by $5,000,000 and will have $20,000,000 salvage value (after 15 years).

The CFO estimates that if the old plane is kept for 5 years, its salvage value will be $4,000,000. If AirExpress's MARR is 10% per year, what would you advice the company to do- keep the old plane or replace it with the new plane? Need equation
