Investopedia explains 'Total Project Approach'

For example, a company is planning to expand production and wants to buy a new machine for this purpose. The new machine will cost $50,000 and has a life-span of five years. The machine it is replacing also has a remaining life of five years with a book value of $12,500. Being that it is a new and more efficient machine, the new purchase will reduce variable operating costs from $25,000 to $15,000 annually.
