Assume а pоwer series

X Cоrpоrаtiоn purchаsed а machine 9 years ago for $350,000 when it launched product P50. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model ZZ machine costing $300,000 or by a new model AA machine costing $275,000. Management has decided to buy the model AA machine. It has less capacity than the model ZZ machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product P50. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product P50 and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the $275,000 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of $290,000.Answer the questions below by placing 1, 2, 3 in the answer area and putting your answers next to the correct number.  Be sure to show your math if you use two or more numbers for a total.1. What is the total differential cost regarding the decision to buy the model AA machine rather than the model ZZ machine? (2) 2. What is the total sunk cost regarding the decision to buy the model AA machine? 3. What is the total opportunity cost regarding the decision to invest in the model AA machine?
