Carla's Citrus packs and ships high-quality oranges, grapefruit, and other fruit to retailers in the U.S.  Carla has been experiencing an increase in demand for its products and is considering the purchase of a new packaging machine to replace the machine currently in use. The new machine will cost $202,500, and installation will require an additional $4,050. The machine has a useful life of 10 years and is expected to have a salvage value of $5,400 at the end of its useful life. The variable cost to operate the new machine is $13.50 per carton compared to the current machine's variable cost of $13.65 per carton. Carla expects to pack 250,000 cartons each year.
