Should Dietrich accept Peach's offer? Explain. Begin by calculating the relevant cost per unit. (If an input field is not used in the table, leave the input field empty; do not enter a zero.) Make Buy Relevant costs: Unit relevant cost Dietrich Computers should Peach's offer. When comparing relevant costs between the choices, Peach's offer price is than the cost to continue to produce. 2. LN Manufacturing is deciding whether to keep or replace an old machine. LN Manufacturing uses straight-line depreciation. Ignore the time value of money and income taxes. Should LN Manufacturing replace the old machine? Explain. Begin by calculating the total relevant costs. (If an input field is not used in the table, leave the input field empty; do not enter a zero. Use parentheses or a minus sign for numbers to be subtracted.) Keep Replace Difference Total relevant costs LN Manufacturing should the old machine. The cost to keep the machine is than the cost to replace the machine
