Chapter 14, Problem 31E
Valley Pizza’s owner bought his current pizza oven two years ago for $9,000, and it has one more year of life remaining. He is using straight-line depreciation for the oven. He could purchase a new oven for $1,900, but it would last only one year. The owner figures the new oven would save him $2,600 in annual operating expenses compared to operating the old one. Consequently, he has decided against buying the new oven, since doing so would result in a “loss” of $400 over the next year.
Required:
- 1. How do you suppose the owner came up with $400 as the loss for the next year if the new pizza oven were purchased? Explain.
- 2. Criticize the owner’s analysis and decision.
- 3. Prepare a correct analysis of the owner’s decision.

His alternatives are as follows: a. Keep the property. Campbell's accountant has kept careful records of the income realized from the property over the past 10 years. These records indicate the following annual revenues and expenses: Campbell makes a $13,450 mortgage payment each year on the property. The mortgage will be paid off in eight more years.
