urgent A firm can purchase a centrifugal separator (5-year MACRS property) for $17,000. The estimated salvage value is $4,000 after a useful life of six years. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs for the first year are expected to be$1,700. These O&M costs are projected to increase by $500 per year each year thereafter. The income tax rate is 25% and the MARR is 13% after taxes. What must the uniform annual benefits be for the purchase of the centrifugal separator to be economical on an after-tax basis? The uniform annual benefits should be........... (Round to the nearest dollar.)

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. The Techron | costs $264,000, has a 3-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $71,000 per year. The Techron Il costs $460,000, has a 5-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $44,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $48,000. If your tax rate is 22 percent and your discount rate is 12 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) > Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Techron I $ -134,840.83 Techron II $ -107,570.18
