The container corporation of America is considering replacing an automatic painting machine purchased 9 years ago for the $700,000. It has a market value today of $40,000. The unit costs $350,000 annually to operate and maintain. A new unit can be purchased for $800,000 and will have annual O&M costs of $120,000. If the old unit is retained, it will have no salvage value at the end of its remaining life of 10 years. The new unit, if purchased, will have a salvage value of $100,000 in 10 years. Using a EUAC measure and a MARR of 20%, perform a before tax analysis to see if the automatic painting machine should be replaced if it is taken as a trade-in for its market value of $40,000.
a. Use the cash flow approach (insider%u2019s view approach)
b. Use the opportunity cost approach (outsider%u2019s view point approach
