    The company should keep their old equipment because if they buy the new equipment their cash flow will decrease by $5,000

    Explanation:

    If the company keeps the old equipment their costs will be:

    $30,000 x 3 years = $90,000

    total costs = $90,000

    If the company buys the new equipment their costs will be:

    equipment cost = $75,000 - $10,000 = $65,000

    $10,000 x 3 years = $30,000

    total costs = $95,000
