Santosh Plastics inc. purchased a new machine one year ago at a cost of $72,000. Although the machine operates well and has five more years of operating life, the president of Santosh Plastics is wondering if the company should replace it with a new electronic mochine that has just come on the market. The new machine costs $108,000 and is expected to slash the current annual operating costs of $50,400 by two-thirds. The new machine is expected to last for five years, with zero salvage value at the end of five years. The current mochine can be sold for $12.000 if the company decides to buy the new machine. The company uses straight-line depreciation. In trying to decide whether to purchase the new machine, the president has prepared the following analysis: "Even though the new machine looks good," said the president, "we can't get rid of that old machine if it means taking a huge loss on it. We'll have to use the old machine for at least a few more years."
