1. Flint Tooling Company is considering replacing a machine that has been used in its factory for two years. Relevant data associated with the operations of the old machine and the new machine, neither of which has any estimated residual value, are as follows:

Old Machine
Cost of machine, eight year life	$40,000
Annual depreciation (straight line)	5,000
Annual manufacturing costs, excluding depreciation	12,400
Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses	2,900
Annual revenue	35,400
Current estimated selling price of the machine	13,900
New Machine
Cost of machines, six year life	$59,000
Annual depreciation (straight line)	9,500
Estimated annual manufacturing cost, less depreciation	3,900

Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses and revenue are not expected to be affected by purchase of the new machine.
