Answer: Old machine should be replaced.
Explanation:
The variable manufacturing cost will reduce by:
= 624,000 - 524,000
= $100,000
Over a period of 5 years this will be:
= 100,000 * 5
= $500,000
Selling the old machine would bring in $32,000:
= 500,000 + 32,000
= $532,000
The cost of the new machine would reduce this gross benefit by:
= 532,000 - 455,100
= $76,900
<em>Net income will increase by a total of $76,900 over the 5 year period if the new machine is bought so it should be bought. </em>

The Malthus theory states that population should be controlled because there are no enough resources to please the future needs. This is how it works: in the short-run there is a change in technology that leads to an increase in income.

In the long-run total income would have to be distributed between more people than before and the economy reaches the equilibrium again, in which the birth rate equals the death rate.
In other words, econmic success becomes a reproductive success.
