JTECH Corporation bought a PLC machine 10 years ago for P 900,000 with an expected life of 20 years. The management anticipates now that the machine will serve well for another 6 years and proposes to purchase a new machine costing P 1,200,000 with an expected life of 16 years. The old machine is depreciated as anticipated by the straight line method and can be sold now for P 600,000. The annual operating cost of the old machine is P 10,000 and for the new machine is P 5,000. The salvage value of both machines is 10% of its value regardless of the length of time they are used.
