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 $$613,000,$ useful life $26$ years.

Building B: Lease for $26$ years with annual lease payments of $$71,950$ being made at the beginning of the year.
