Good Morning, this is a 3 part question. Please provide assistance with answering part A of the question?

NovakPix currently uses a six-year-old molding machine to manufacture silver picture frames. The company paid $94,000for the machine, which was state of the art at the time of purchase. Although the machine will likely last another ten years, it will need a $10,000overhaul in four years. More important, it does not provide enough capacity to meet customer demand. The company currently produces and sells15,000frames per year, generating a total contribution margin of $91,500.

Martson Molders currently sells a molding machine that will allowNovakPix to increase production and sales to20,000frames per year. The machine, which has a ten-year life, sells for $129,000and would cost $12,000per year to operate.NovakPix's current machine costs only $8,000per year to operate. IfNovakPix purchases the new machine, the old machine could be sold at its book value of $5,000. The new machine is expected to have a salvage value of $20,000at the end of its ten-year life.NovakPix uses straight-line depreciation.
