It will also enhance the cooking experience for her and her chefs, as they won't have to fuss with the finicky electric burners they currently use. However, the new range is expensive. It will cost $9,920 to buy and properly install. On the upside, it should last for at least 7 years, at which time Scarlett may consider trading it in for another new range. While her operating costs will not decrease as a result of this purchase, Scarlett will be able to generate additional gross margin of at least $1,510 in the first year.
