You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs

$$210,000,$ has a three$-$year life, and has pretax operating costs of $$53,000$ per year. The

Techron II costs $$370,000,$ has a five$-$year life, and has pretax operating costs of

$$26,000$ per year. For both milling machines, use straight$-$line depreciation to zero over

the project's life and assume a salvage value of $$30,000.$ If your tax rate is $25$ percent

and your discount rate is $8$ percent, compute the EAC for both machines. $($Your answer

should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate

calculations and round your answers to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.)$

Which machine should you choose?

Techron II
