Vandelay Industries is considering the purchase of a new machine for producing

latex. Machine A costs $$2,600,000$ and will last for six years. Variable costs are

$35\%$ of sales and fixed costs are $$195,000$ per year. Machine B costs $$5,200,000$

and will last for $9$ years. Variable costs for this machine are $30\%$ of sales and

fixed costs are $$230,000$ per year. The sales for each machine will be $$10$ mil

per ear. The required return is $10\%$ and the tax rate $=35\%.$ Both machines will

be depreciated on a straight$-$line basis. If the company plans to replace the

machine when it wears out on a perpetual basis, which machine should it

choose? $($please no excle$)$
