Romulan Co. has several old computers that originally cost $28,700 and had accumulated depreciation of $21,000. The old computers could be sold as is for $8,400. Alternatively, they could be updated with new software for a total additional cost of $6,100 and sold for a higher price to a company in Italy. If Romulan sells the computers in Italy, they will have to pay a 10% export tariff (tax) based on sales revenue. Romulan decides to update the computers and sell them in Italy.
