One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in
manufacturing for $115,000.You have learned that a new machine is
available that offers many advantages and you can purchase it
for$165,000today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line
basis over 10 years and has no salvage value. You expect that the
new machine will produce a gross margin (revenues minus
operating expenses other than depreciation) of $35,000 per
year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to
produce a gross margin of$25,000 per year. The current machine is
being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life

expense for the current machine is$10,455 per year. The market
value today of the current machine is $50,000. Your company's
