Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the manufacturer no longer produces parts for repair, it may be difficult or impossible to fix the equipment. In this case, replacing the equipment would be the most practical solution. Age (A) and frequency of use (D) may be factors in the decision, but they are not necessarily the most important. Cost (B) may be a consideration, but it depends on the cost of a new piece of equipment versus the cost of repairing it.
