CALCULATING EAC
Question
CALCULATING EAC: You are evaluating two different milling machines to replace your current aging machine. Machine
A costs $270000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $61451 per year. Machine B costs $375000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $34096 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $37341. Your tax rate is 34 % and your discount rate is 10 %.
What is the EAC for Machine A? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, round intermediate calculations to 5 decimal places)
What is the EAC for Machine B? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, round intermediate calculations to 5 decimal places)
