Thompson industries uses a special printer in its operations. Lately sales have increased to the point that it takes extra hours of overtime at night and on weekends to keep up with customer demand. Management is considering purchasing a new faster model of printer that would eliminate overtime and decrease some of the other operating costs. The following information is available:

	Current printer	New printer
Original purchase cost	$100,000	$125,000
Accumulated depreciation	$30,000
Estimated annual operating costs (excluding depreciation)	$82,000	$64,000
Actual or projected annual depreciation on printer	$10,000	$21,000
Nonmanufacturing operating expenses	$42,000	$42,000
Remaining useful life (in years)	5	5
Estimated salvage value at the end of useful life	$20,000	$20,000
Estimated current disposal value	$58,000

REQUIRED:

Part 1: Compute the gain or loss on the immediate sale of the old printer.

Part 2: Prepare an incremental analysis report comparing the options of continuing with the current printer or replacing it.
