Franklin Printing Company is considering replacing a machine that has been used in its factory for four years. 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	$107,700
Annual depreciation (straight-line)	10,770
Annual manufacturing costs, excluding depreciation	37,700
Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses	12,900
Annual revenue	94,500
Current estimated selling price of the machine	36,800
New Machine
Cost of machine, six-year life	$135,600
Annual depreciation (straight-line)	22,600
Estimated annual manufacturing costs, exclusive of depreciation	17,500

Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses and revenue are not expected to be affected by purchase of the new machine.

Required:

1. Prepare a differential analysis as of November 8 comparing operations using the present machine (Alternative 1) with operations using the new machine (Alternative 2). The analysis should indicate the total differential income that would result over the six-year period if the new machine is acquired. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.

Continue with Old Machine (Alt. 1) or Replace Old Machine (Alt. 2)
