Jeff & Bezos is a fresh groceries delivery company. The company has access to borrowing funds at a pre$-$tax rate of $8\%$ per year. Jeff & Bezos pays income taxes using $22\%$ tax rate.

The company would like to start using high$-$speed low$-$altitude drones to deliver grocery purchases directly to residential customers' backyards. The required fleet of drones costs $$7,500,000.$ The fleet of drones, due to their heavy usage, would have no salvage value in four years.
