Answer:
The old machine should be replaced.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the the analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced.
From the attached excel file, the following calculation are made:
Variable Manufacturing cost of Retain = Initial Variable Manufacturing cost * remaining useful life of old machine = $592,600 * 5 = $2,963,000
Variable Manufacturing cost of Replace = New Variable Manufacturing cost * Remaining useful life of new machine = $505,500 * 5 = $2,527,500
From the attached excel, it can be observed that the total cost of Retain is $32,200 higher than the total cost of Replace. This therefore implies that the old machine should be replaced.

Answer:
10.02%
Explanation:
The computation of the WACC is shown below. The formula of WACC is shown below:
= (Weightage of debt × cost of debt) + (Weightage of preferred stock) × (cost of preferred stock) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= 27% × 7.6% × (1 - 0.40) + 9% × 5.9% + 64% × 12.9%
= 2.052% × (1 - 0.40) + 0.531% + 8.256%
= 10.02%
