You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron I costs $216,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $55,000 per year. The Techron II costs $380,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $28,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $32,000. If your tax rate is 23 percent and your discount rate is 10 percent, compute the EAC for both machines Which machine should you choose?        Techron II or  Techron I
