Write a 700-word paper comparing the factors involved in deciding whether to purchase or lease this equipment.  

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Here are a few tips and expectations for what I will look for in the week 4 paper.

1. Minimum word count of 700 words. Quality is critical at all times with regard to team papers!
2. Table or graph; well formatted with an example of lease versus buy. Inserted within the word document.
