Bryant Company has a factory machine with a book value of
$90,000 and a remaining useful life of 5 years. It can be sold for
$30,000. A new machine is available at a cost of $400,000. This
machine will have a 5-year useful life with no salvage value. The
new machine will lower annual variable manufacturing costs from
$600,000 to $500,000. Prepare an analysis showing whether the old
machine should be retained or replaced. (In the first
two columns, enter costs and expenses as positive amounts, and any
amounts received as negative amounts. In the third column, enter
net income increases as positive amounts and decreases as negative
amounts. Enter negative amounts using
either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses
e.g. (45).)
