You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron | costs $265,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $74,000 per year. The Techron II costs $445,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $47,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $35,000. If your tax rate is 22 percent and your discount rate is 10 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Techron I Techron II Which do you prefer?
