Since the costs of producing an intermediate product do not change regardless of whether the intermediate product is sold or processed further, these costs are not considered in deciding whether to further process a product.

Starling Co. is considering disposing of a machine with a book value of $12,500 and estimated remaining life of five years. The old machine can be sold for $1,500. A new high-speed machine can be purchased at a cost of $25,000. It will have a useful life of five years and no residual value. It is estimated that the annual variable manufacturing costs will be reduced from $26,000 to $23,500 if the new machine is purchased. The differential effect on income for the new machine for the entire five years is a (n)
