A tool and die company is considering the purchase of a drill press with fuzzy-logic software to improve accuracy and reduce tool wear. The company has the opportunity to buy a slightly used machine for $15,000 or new one for $21,000. Because the new machine is a more sophisticated model, its operating cost is expected to be $7000 per year, while the used machine is expected to require $8200 per year. Each machine is expected to have 25 years life with 5% salvage value. Tabulate the incremental cash flow
I've already looked at https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/tool-die-company-considering-purchase-drill-press-fuzzy-logic-software-improve-accuracy-re-q28194174 and https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/tool-die-company-considering-purchase-drill-press-fuzzy-logic-software-improve-accuracy-re-q28235286 answers just need additional help
Salvage value of used machine = 5% * 15000 = 750
Salvage value of new machine = 5% * 21000 = 1050
Basically, we need to find Net cash flow each year for both machines and then subtract the value of used machine from the new machine
incremental cash flow = Net cash flow of New machine - Net cash flow of old machine
