Question $9$ of $10$

$\frac{0\mathrm{.}8}{1}$

Your answer is partially correct.

Tamarisk Company has a factory machine with a book value of $$159,000$ and a remaining useful life of $5$ years. A new machine is available at a cost of $$246,500.$ This machine will have a $5-$year useful life with no salvage value. The new machine will lower annual variable manufacturing costs from $$603,500$ to $$499,000.$

Prepare an analysis that shows whether Tamarisk should retain or replace the old machine. If an amount reduces the net income then enter with a negative sign preceding the number or parenthesis, es$.($
