You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. the techron i costs $267,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $72,000 per year. the techron ii costs $465,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $45,000 per year. for both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $49,000. if your tax rate is 23 percent and your discount rate is 13 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.)

Which of the following is likely not a benefit of requiring a grand jury to listen to and examine all of the evidence against a person suspected of committing a serious crime and then independently deciding whether or not to hand down an indictment? 1.the grand jury system provides the accused another safeguard against being sent to trial and facing conviction based on flawed evidence. 2.the members of the grand jury are drawn from the community and are empowered to render independent decisions about whether or not the government has collected enough evidence to bring an individual to trial. 3.the grand jury’s decision can provide prosecutors insight into what is necessary to build a sufficient case if a similar crime is presented later. 4.the grand jury is impaneled to rubber-stamp prosecutors’ cases, which makes it possible for more cases to reach trial.
