Bandit Inc., manufactures ice tea and would like to increase its market share in the North. In order to do so, Bandit has decided to locate a new factory in the Cedar Rapid area. Bandit will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous. The site location committee has narrowed down the available sites to the following three buildings.
Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $1,500,000, useful life 25 years.
Building B: Lease for 25 years with annual lease payments of $125,000 being made at the beginning of the year.
Building C: Purchase for $1,750,000 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 25 years at a net annual rental of $21,000. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. Bandit Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.
