(b) The cost price of a new machine is always $70000. However, the value of the
machine depreciates at a rate of 10% per annum, when in use. The output by this
machine generates revenue of $14000 in the first year, but the revenue generated in
each subsequent year shows a decrease of 7%.

(ii) Calculate the total revenue that could possibly be generated by the machine. [2]
(iii) For economic reasons, the machine has to be replaced by a new one when the
sum of the total revenue received and the prevailing value of the old machine
exceed the cost of a new machine by at least $40000. Calculate the number of

replaced). [3]
