The new machine will have a fully installed cost of $10,000 and an estimated useful life of 10 years, with no expected salvage value or removal costs.
If the new machine is purchased, labor cost savings are estimated to be $1,000 per year, and the cost of waste materials is expected to decline by $2,000 per year.
