Super$-$Doopers is analyzing two machines to determine which one they should purchase. The company requires a $12\%$ rate of return and uses straight$-$line depreciation to a zero book value. Machine A has a cost of $$400,000,$ annual operating costs of $$25,700,$ and a $4-$year life. Machine B costs $$366,000,$ has annual operating costs of $$30,000,$ and has a $5-$year life. Whichever machine is purchased will be replaced at the end of its useful life. Super$-$Doopers should select machine $\_\_\_\_\_$ because it will save the company about $\_\_\_\_\_$ a year in costs.

B; $$26,812$

B; $$26,119$
