The Sandhill 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, Sandhill has decided to locate a new factory in the Panama City area. Sandhill will either buy or lease a site depending upon which is more advantageous.

Building A: Purchase for a cash price of $613,700, useful life 27 years. Building B: Lease for 27 years with annual lease payments of $70,100 being made at the beginning of the year. Building C: Purchase for $659,100 cash. This building is larger than needed; however, the excess space can be sublet for 27 years at a net annual rental of $6,470. Rental payments will be received at the end of each year. The Sandhill Inc. has no aversion to being a landlord. Click here to view factor tables.
