The Sage 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, Sage has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Sage 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 B:Lease for28years with annual lease payments of $71,570being made at the beginning of the year.

Building C:Purchase for $659,900cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for28years at a net annual rental of $6,870. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Sage Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord.
