MM currently carries out process B the output from which can be sold for $20 per unit and has variable costs of $7.50 per unit. Process B has directly attributable fixed operating costs of $ 40000 per annum. MM also carries out process C by using equipment that has running costs of $ 25000 per annum. The equipment could be sold now for $50000 (but this would incur dismantling costs of $7500) or in one year’s time for $45000 with dismantling costs of $8750.Process B could be adapted so that it incorporated process C.The existing process B machinery would have to be removed, either now at a dismantling cost of $12500 and with the sale of the machinery for $100000 or in one year’s time for $75000 with dismantling costs of $13750.Alternative process B machinery would have to be leased. This would cost $10000 per annum and have annual fixed costs of $30000.The existing process B machinery originally costs $250000 which bought five years ago. It is being depreciated at 10% per…
