The law firm of Blossom and Sheridan relies heavily on a colour laser printer to process its paperwork. Recently the printer has not functioned well and print jobs were not being processed. A major overhaul costing $10,000 would make the current printer work properly for the balance of its useful life. Management is considering updating the printer with a faster model.
