You purchased a stamping machine for $100,000 to produce a new line of products. The stamping machine will be used for 5 years, and the expected salvage value for the machine is 20% of the initial cost. The annual operating and maintenance costs amount to $30,000. If each part stamped generates$12 revenue, how many parts need to be stamped each year to break even

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. the techron i costs $285,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $78,000 per year. the techron ii costs $495,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $45,000 per year. for both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $55,000. if your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 11 percent, compute the eac for both machines.
