Interstate Manufacturing is considering either overhauling an old machine or replacing it with a new machine. two alternatives follows. Management requires a $12\%$ rate of return on its investments. $($PV of $$1,FV$ of $$1,$PVA of $$1,$ and FVA of $$1)$ Note: Use appropriate factor$($s$)$ from the tables provided.

Alternative $1$: Keep the old machine and have it overhauled. This requires an initial investment of $$145,000$ and results in $$38,000$ of net cash flows in each of the next five years. After five years, it can be sold for a $$24,000$ salvage value.

Alternative $2$: Sell the old machine for $$42,000$ and buy a new one. The new machine requires an initial investment of $$300,000$ and can be sold for a $$8,000$ salvage value in five years. It would yield cost savings and higher sales, resulting in net cash flows of $$46,000$ in each of the next five years.

Required:
