The Lesseig Company has an opportunity to invest in one of two mutually exclusive machines that will produce a product the company will need for the next $8$ years. Machine A has an after$-$tax cost of $$8\mathrm{.}3$ million but will provide after$-$tax inflows of $$4\mathrm{.}8$ million per year for $4$ years. If Machine A were replaced, its after$-$tax cost would be $$9\mathrm{.}6$ million due to inflation and its after$-$tax cash inflows would increase to $$5$ million due to production efficiencies. Machine $B$ has an after$-$tax cost of $$14\mathrm{.}7$ million and will provide after$-$tax inflows of $$4$ million per year for $8$ years. If the WACC is $7\%,$ which machine should be acquired? Explain. Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $$10,550,000$ should be entered as $10\mathrm{.}55.$ Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Machine $$ is the better project and will increase the company's value by $ millions, rather than the $ $$ millions created by Machine $$
