A Few years ago, the ETM department installed a machine in its manufacturing lab for $10,000. The department is considering replacing the machine because maintenance costs have been increasing. The estimated maintenance costs for the next 5 years are as follow:

Year	Maintenance Cost ($)
1	975
2	1,275
3	1,375
4	1,625
5	1,775

Whenever the machine is replaced, the cost of removal will be $1,500 more than the machine is worth as scrap metal. The replacement the department is considering has an equivalent annual cost (EAC) = $900 at its most economic life. Should the machine be replaced now if the minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) is 10%?
