    E.

    Explanation:

    Book value of manufacturing equipment = $35,500

    Remaining useful life = 4 years

    Salvage value = $0

    Current market value of equipment = $21,100

    Cost of new machine = $111,000

    Cash received from trading old machine = $21,100

    Variable manufacturing costs of new machine reduce by $18,100 per year over the four-year = $18,100 * 4 = $72,400

    Total increase/decrease in net income = Cost of new machine + income from trading old machine + Variable manufacturing costs reduce

    = ($111,000) + $21,100 + $72,400

    = ($17,500)

    The total decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine is $17,500.
