Given: P = Rs. 1,50,000, let maintenance cost be Ci during the year and depreciation be (P – Sn), where. Sn be the resale/ scrap value.

Here, Average annual cost A(n) is minimum for n = 6. 

∴ The optimal replacement age is n = 6 year, 

i.e., the tractor should be replaced after using it for 6 years. 

The optimum Average annual cost is Rs. 18583.33.
