    B : Option B is least costly, followed by option A, then retaining the old machine

    Explanation:

    The computation for each machine is shown below:

    Old machine:

    = Per year operating cost * number of years - salvage value

    = $164,200 * 6 years - $19,200

    = $985,200 - $19,200

    = $966,000

    Option A:

    = Purchase Cost + Per year operating cost * number of years

    = $210,000 + $118,000 * 6 years

    = $210,000 + $708,000

    = $918,000

    Option B:

    = Purchase Cost + Per year operating cost * number of years

    = $216,000 + $114,400 * 6 years

    = $216,000 + $686,400

    = $902,400

    By comparing the three machines, we get to know that the option B is least cost out of the available options
