Current Attempt in Progress

Sheridan Company is considering the purchase of a new machine. The invoice price of the machine is $$104,000,$ freight charges are

zero after a useful life of $5$ years. The company could retain the existing equipment and use it for an additional $5$ years if it doesn't

purchase the new machine. At that time, the equipment's salvage value would be zero. If Sheridan purchases the new machine now, it

would have to scrap the existing machine. Sheridan's accountant, Mary Smith, has accumulated the following data for annual sales and

expenses, with and without the new machine:

Without the new machine, Sheridan can sell $9,000$ units of product annually at a per$-$unit selling price of $$100.$ If it

purchases the new machine, the number of units produced and sold would increase by $10\%,$ and the selling price would

remain the same.

The new machine is faster than the old machine, and it is more efficient in its use of materials. With the old machine, the

gross profit rate is $25\%$ of sales, whereas the rate will be $30\%$ of sales with the new machine.

Annual selling expenses are $$133,000$ with the current machine. Because the new machine w

number of units to be sold, annual selling expenses are expected to increase by $10\%$ if it is purchased.

Annual administrative expenses are expected to be $$74,000$ with the old machine, and $$84,000$ with the new machine.

The current book value of the existing machine is $$27,000.$ Sheridan uses straight$-$line depreciation.

Prepare an incremental analysis for the five years that shows whether Sheridan should retain the existing machine or buy the new one.
