A machine with a cost of $136,000 and accumulated depreciation of $91,000 is sold for $53,000 cash. The amount that should be reported as a source of cash under cash flows from investing activities is: a. $53,000. b. $8,000. c. $45,000. d. Zero.

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. the techron i costs $285,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $78,000 per year. the techron ii costs $495,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $45,000 per year. for both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $55,000. if your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 11 percent, compute the eac for both machines.
