Bridgeport Inc., manufactures ice tea and would like to increase its market share in the North. In order to do so$,$ Bridgeport has

decided to locate a new factory in the Cedar Rapid area. Bridgeport 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 $$1,540,000,$ useful life $28$ years.

Building B: Lease for $28$ years with annual lease payments of $$126,000$ being made at the beginning of the year.

Building C: Purchase for $$1,968,000$ cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for $28$ years at a

net annual rental of $$20,600.$ Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. Bridgeport Inc. has no aversion to being a

landlord.
