ConcordPix currently uses a six-year-old molding machine to manufacture silver picture frames. The company paid $95,000for the machine, which was state of the art at the time of purchase. Although the machine will likely last another ten years, it will need a $12,000overhaul in four years. More important, it does not provide enough capacity to meet customer demand. The company currently produces and sells9,000frames per year, generating a total contribution margin of $92,500.
