Problem:
You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $210,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $53,000 per year. The Techron II costs $370,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $26,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $30,000. If your tax rate is 34 percent and your discount rate is 8 percent,
Required:
Question: Compute the EAC for both machines.
