Your company must purchase a machine to build the products it produces. Note that doing nothing is not an option. There are two options: it could purchase Machine A which costs $69,700 initially; $13,900 to operate annually; and has a salvage value of $5,750 at the end of 5 years. Alternatively, it could purchase Machine B which costs $128,500 initially; $5,600 to operate annually; and has a salvage value of $19,300 at the end of 5 years. Conduct a future worth analysis, assuming a MARR of 9%. What is the FW (at the end of the period of analysis) of the cost associated with the recommended alternative? Enter your answer as a positive number, as the question is already asking for the cost.
