Machine B costs $15million and realizes after-tax inflows of $3.5 million per year for8 years, after which it must be replaced. Assume that machineprices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset bycheaper components used in the machines. The cost of capital is10%. Using the replacement chain approach to project analysis, byhow much would the value of the company increase if it accepted thebetter machine? Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter youranswer in millions. For example, an answer of $1.23 million shouldbe entered as 1.23, not 1,230,000. Round your answer to two decimalplaces.
