Charlie’s Truck Repair and Service has a new con­tract that requires him to purchase and maintain new equipment for work on 18-wheeler trucks and heavy road equipment. Two separate vendors have made quotes and estimates for Charlie. Use the es­timates and a 6% per year return requirement to find the better economic option. One problem is that Charlie does not currently know if the contract will last for 5, 8, or 10 years. He needs a recom­mendation for all three time periods.


Selection changes from Ferguson (5 years) to Halgrove (8 or 10 years)
