If the current machine is replaced, the new machine will cost $44,000 and will reduce the operating expenses by $6,000 pe year. The seller of the new machine has offered a trade-in allowance of $15,000 for the old machine. If MARR is 12% per year before taxes, how much can the company spend to repair the existing machine?
