The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three very similar buildings that will meet their needs. Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $ 617,800, useful life 26 years. Building B: Lease for 26 years with annual lease payments of $ 71,870 being made at the beginning of the year.
