Vandelay Industries is considering the purchase of a new machine for the production of latex. Machine A costs $$3,300,000$ and will last for six years. Variable costs are $40$ percent of sales, and fixed costs are $$440,000$ per year. Machine B costs $$5,572,000$ and will last for nine years. Variable costs for this machine are $35$ percent of sales and fixed costs are $$285,000$ per year. The sales for each machine will be $$13\mathrm{.}3$ million per year. The required return is $10$ percent, and the tax rate is $23$ percent. Both machines will be depreciated on a straight$-$line basis. The company plans to replace the machine when it wears out on a perpetual basis. Calculate the EAC for each machine. $($A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,1,234,567\mathrm{.}89.)$
