This year each bottle will sell for $$1\mathrm{.}46$ in real terms and will cost $$\mathrm{.}82$ in real terms. Sales income and costs occur at year$-$end.

$2.$ You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $$264,000,$ has a $3-$year life, and has pretax operating costs of $$71,000$ per year. The Techron II costs $$460,000,$ has a $5-$year life, and has pretax operating costs of $$44,000$ per year. For both milling machines, use straight$-$line depreciation to zero over the project$$s life and assume a salvage value of $$48,000.$ If your tax rate is $22$ percent and your discount rate is $12$ percent, compute the EAC for both machines Techron I and Techron II$.($A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.)$
