$**$PLEASE look at the answer choices. No$,$ because it will be $$6000$ lower is a previous answer I received on Chegg, and that's not even one of the options$**$

A company is considering replacing a machine the company is currently using with

a new machine.

If sold now, the current machine would have a salvage value of $$3,000.$ If

operated for the remainder of its useful life, the current machine would have zero

salvage value. The new machine is expected to have zero salvage value after six

years.

Should the current machine be replaced?

Yes because the incremental analysis indicates that net income for the $6-$year period will

be $$15,000$ higher by replacing the current machine.

No because the incremental analysis indicates that net income for the $6-$year period will

be $$12,000$ lower by replacing the current machine.

No because the incremental analysis indicates that net income for $6-$year period will be
