Current Attempt in Progress

Blossom Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Blossom is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $$2\mathrm{.}45$ million. Its existing machine was purchased $5$ years ago at a price of $$1\mathrm{.}8$ million; six months ago, Blossom spent $$55,000$ to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $$245,925.$ The new sewing machine would require a one$-$time, $$85,000$ training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years $1$ to $7$ :

The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining$-$balance method at a rate of $20\%.$ The salvage value is expected to be $$379,000.$ This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $$94,000$ at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is $9\%.$
