Burger Botanicals produces a wide range of herbal supplements sold nationwide through independent distributors. In response to an increasing demand for its products, the company is considering the purchase of a new packaging machine to replace the seven-year-old machine currently in use. The new machine will cost $175,050, and installation will require an additional $3,250. The machine has a useful life of 10 years and is expected to have a salvage value of $3,765 at that time. The variable cost to operate the new machine is $11.65 per carton compared to the current machine's variable cost of $11.74 per carton, and Burger expects to pack 257,000 cartons each year. If the new machine is purchased, Burger will avoid a required $11,425 overhaul of the current machine in three years.
