costs $3,132,000 and will last for six years. Variable costs are 35 percent of sales, and fixed costs are $270,000 per year. Machine B costs $5,355,000 and will last for nine years.

The required return is 10 percent, and the tax rate is 35 percent. Both machines will be depreciated on a straight-line basis. The company plans to replace the machine when it wears out on a perpetual basis.
