You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron | costs $264,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $71,000 per year. The Techron Il costs $460,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $44,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $48,000. If your tax rate is 22 percent and your discount rate is 12 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.
