Exercise
3:
Suppose that your company is trying to

publications itself or lease the equipment from another company. Suppose that
leasing the equipment costs $240 per day. If you decide to purchase the
equipment, the initial investment is $6,800, and operations will cost $70 per
day. After how many days will the lease cost be the same as the purchase cost
for the equipment? Assume that your company would only use this equipment for
30 days. Should your company buy the equipment or lease it?
