One year ago, Maggi Ltd purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $$114,000114,000. The company has learned that a newer, more-advanced model of this machine is available that offers many advantages.

Maggi is able to purchase and install the new model for a total cost of $$150,000150,000 today. It would be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over a ten-year tax life and will have no salvage value. Maggi expects that the new machine will produce a "gross margin" defined as revenues minus variables costs of exactly $$46,00046,000 per year for the next ten years.

Maggi's current machine is expected to continue to produce its gross margin of $$26,00026,000 per year. This older model machine is also being depreciated on a straight-line to zero basis over its original tax life of 1111 years. It will also have no salvage value after this time. However, if sold today, the current machine would attract a salvage value in the market of $$82,00082,000.

Assume that Maggi Ltd's marginal tax rate is 30.030.0% and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 13.313.3%.
