7. Paula is an office manager for ABC Advertising. She has been tasked with finding a copy machine that falls within a budget of $750 per month. She finds a company that will lease the machine for $275 a month. Each copy costs 4¢ and a ream of 500 sheets of paper costs $5.00. If she estimates that they will make 10,500 copies per month, is leasing this machine a good choice?

Steve · Answer

we want to know whether leasing fits the budget. 275 + 10500*.04 + (10500/500)*5.00 = 800 Better find some way to save $50/month
