Old Machine Cost of machine, eight-year life $38,000 Annual depreciation (straight-line)4,750 Annual manufacturing costs , excluding depreciation12,400 Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses 2,700 Annual revenue 32,400 Current estimated selling price of the machine 12,900 New Machine Cost of machine, six-year life $57,000 Annual depreciation (straight-line) 9,500 Estimated annual manufacturing costs, exclusive of depreciation 3,400 Annual nonmanufacturing operating expenses and revenue are not expected to be affected by purchase of the new machine.
Required:
1. Prepare a differential analysis as of November 8 comparing operations using the present machine (Alternative 1) with operations using the new machine (Alternative 2). The analysis should indicate the differential income that would result over the six-year period if the new machine is acquired. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.
Differential Analysis Continue with Old Machine (Alt. 1) or Replace Old Machine (Alt. 2) November 8 Continue with

(Alternative 2)Revenues: Proceeds from sale of old machine $ $ $ Costs: Purchase price Annual manufacturing costs (6 yrs.) Income (Loss) $ $ $ 2. What other factors should be considered before a final decision is reached?
- Are there any improvements in the quality of work turned out by the new machine?
- What opportunities are available for the use of the funds required to purchase the new machine?
