Variable costs for this machine are 35 percent and fixed costs are $180,000 per year. The sales for each machine will be $11.1 million per year. The required return is 11 percent and the tax rate is 30 percent. Both machines will be depreciated on a straight-line basis. The company plans to replace the machine when it wears out on a perpetual basis.
