A company plans to replace its existing machinery with a new one which costs $1,200,000. The old machinery was purchased at a cost of $1,200,000 and has an accumulated depreciation balance of $500,000. The new machine is estimated to be useful for 5 years. The remaining useful life of the old machinery is also 5 years. The old machinery can be sold now for $500,000. On the other hand, the new machinery has a resale value at the end of year 5 amounting to 10% of its cost. The annual cash savings from operations when the new machinery is used is $200,000. Assuming a discount rate of 10%. Compute the net present value if the company will replace the old machinery. $ 132,668 $ 178,160 $ (367,332) $ (167,332)
