Analyzing Lease vs. Buy Decisions

This simulation is designed to enhance our knowledge on the decision-making aspects of evaluating lease versus buy options. Bonnesante Research will show decision-making options for leasing or buying a computer and for acquiring a spectrometer. In addition, the company has plans to upgrade its manufacturing capacity. Throughout the decision-making process, we should be able to analyze the lease versus buy option with the given details and become more knowledgeable of the process and the options that are best for the company.

There are some circumstances in which purchasing out weighs leasing; this is one of the situations where it is more feasible to do so.

In the third scenario, the company has decided it needs a manufacturing department. The decision that needs to be made is whether...
