Relevant data associated with the operations of the old machine and the new machine, neither of which has any estimated residual value, are as follows: Old Machine Cost of machine, 10-year life $109,200 Annual depreciation (straight-line) 10,920 Annual manufacturing costs, excluding depreciation 37,700 Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses 13,100 Annual revenue 94,200 Current estimated selling price of the machine 36,300 New Machine Cost of machine, six-year life $136,800 Annual depreciation (straight-line) 22,800 Estimated annual manufacturing costs, exclusive of depreciation 17,900 Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses and revenue are not expected to be affected by purchase of the new machine.
1. Prepare a differential analysis as of February 28, 2014, comparing operations using the present machine (Alternative 1) with operations using the new machine (Alternative 2).
