3. Dean Thomas runs a copy shop. Recent growth in the business means that an additional photocopying machine is needed. Dean has learned that he can rent a machine for $8,000/year plus 0.3 cents for each copy made. The rental payments are due each year on the last day of the year. Or, Dean can buy a copy machine for $40,000, to be paid on the first day of the first year. Dean will pay the same for electricity, toner, insurance, and maintenance costs on the copier whether he rents or buys it. The copier will last for 4 years and will be obsolete with a negligible salvage value at the end of that time.
