Current Attempt in Progress

Splish Company has a factory machine with a book value of $$167,000$ and a remaining useful life of $4$ years. A new machine is available at a cost of $$251,000.$ This machine will have a $4-$year useful life with no salvage value. The new machine will lower annual variable manufacturing costs from $$605,500$ to $$492,000.$
