Answer: $480
Explanation:
Given that,
Scrap value of metal = $480
press is six years old, Original cost = $174,000
Current book value = $3,570
Since, we know that the realizable value of the printing press is only $ 480, so tattle teller should assign the same as the initial cost of the new project.
Hence, $480 will be the initial cost of press for the new project.
