A company is planning to purchase a new printer for its office. The initial cost of the printer is $$500.$ The company$$expects that the printer can be used for a maximumof four years. The estimated annual maintenance and operation$$costs for the printer are: year $1,$ $$100$; year $2,$ $$150$; year $3,$ $$200$; year $4,$ $$250.$ Additionally, the printer has a salvage$$value which decreases each year: year $1,$ $$300$; year $2,$ $$200$; year $3,$ $$100$; year $4,$ $$0.$ The company intends to purchase$$the printer immediately. Given these costs and the diminishing salvage value, determine the most cost$-$effective$$strategy for the company to minimize the total cost of owning and operating the printer over the next five years.
