Manchester Clinic, a nonprofit organization, estimates that it can save $$30,000$ a year in cash operating costs for the next $10$ years if it buys a special$-$purpose eye$-$testing machine at a cost of $$135,000.$ No terminal disposal value is expected. Manchester Clinic's required rate of return is $10\%.$ Assume all cash flows occur at year$-$end except for initial investment amounts.

Manchester Clinic uses straight$-$line depreciation.
