Kim Kwon Digital Components Company assembles circuit boards by using a manually operated machine to insert electronic components. The original cost of the machine is $61,500, the accumulated depreciation is $24,600, its remaining useful life is five years, and its residual value is negligible. On May 4 of the current year, a proposal was made to replace the present manufacturing procedure with a fully automatic machine that has a purchase price of $127,900. The automatic machine has an estimated useful life of five years and no significant residual value. For use in evaluating the proposal, the accountant accumulated the following annual data on present and proposed operations:

	Present Operations		Proposed Operations
Sales	$195,000		$195,000
Direct materials	$66,400		$66,400
Direct labor	46,100
Power and maintenance	4,300		22,800
Taxes, insurance, etc.	1,500		5,100
Selling and administrative expenses	46,100		46,100
Total expenses	$164,400		$140,400
