identify a specific asset and the generic formula needed to value that asset. then, provide an assessment of the cash flows, timing, and risk of that asset and how those factors impact the asset's value. for example, how would you value a work of art by pablo picasso? what are the cash flows and when do you expect them to occur? what is the risk of buying that artwork? get creative in the type of asset you identify to evaluate.

You are evaluating two different silicon wafer milling machines. the techron i costs $285,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $78,000 per year. the techron ii costs $495,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $45,000 per year. for both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $55,000. if your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 11 percent, compute the eac for both machines.
