The Pharoah Inc., a manufacturer of low-sugar, low-sodium, low-cholesterol TV dinners, would like to increase its market share in the Sunbelt. In order to do so, Pharoah has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Pharoah 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 very similar buildings that will meet their needs.

Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $616,000, useful life 25 years.

Building B: Lease for 25 years with annual lease payments of $70,700 being made at the beginning of the year.

Building C: Purchase for $654,700 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 25 years at a net annual rental of $6,820. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Pharoah Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.

The Pharoah Inc. should locate itself in Building A/B/C?
