The local dry$-$cleaning store needs to replace their existing series of dry$-$cleaning machines which have become too costly to maintain. They are considering two different alternatives for the replacement decision. The first option is the EazyClean model, which will cost $$25,000$ today, has an annual operating cost of $$2,500,$ and will last for $10$ years. The second option is the Fibramatic Saver Series which costs $$35,000$ today, but uses activated clay filtration instead of distillation and therefore much less energy than conventional methods. This series will have annual operating costs of only $$750$ and will last for $17$ years. The dry cleaning store must always have a set of machines in operation to service their customers. Assume that the appropriate discount rate is $10\%,$ which option would you recommend to the owner??
