ALC corp is considering to replace an old machine used in production with a new technically improved one. This old machine has 10 more years of useful life, its current book value is $800,000 and its current market value is $950,000. After 10 years the residual value will be $200,000.   The old machine will be sold if company decides to buy the new machine.

The new technically improved machine costs $2 million. It will be used for 10 years and the residual value will be $500,000. The new machine will have lower operating costs.

The operating costs information for both machines are as follows
