A small strip-mining coal company is trying to decide whether it should purchase or lease a new clamshell. If purchased, the "shell” will cost $140,000 and is expected to have a $37,500 salvage value after 6 years. Alternatively, the company can lease a clamshell for only $11,000 per year, but the lease payment will have to be made at the beginning of each year. If the clamshell is purchased, it will be leased to other strip-mining companies whenever possible, an activity that is expected to yield revenues of $16,000 per year. If the company's MARR is 8% per year, should the clamshell be purchased or leased on the basis of a future worth analysis? Assume the annual M&O cost is the same for both options. The future worth when purchased is $ -67291.6 The future worth when leased is $ The clamshell should be purchased
