Customers are best served if interior decorators meeting their customers in their home surroundings and therefore must "bring the store home".

The biggest capital expenditure will be the acquisition of 2 custom vans equipped to house the latest in decorating samples.

Alternatively, each van can be leased for 5 years from the Can-Am Leasing Company for the sum of $11,800 per year payable in advance. The leasing companies cost of capital is 11%.

Whether or not the vans are purchased or leased, Can-AM offers a separate maintenance contract that will cover both vans for a grand total of $2,000 per year, payable at the start of the year.

You have been advised the Nationwide's tax rate is 30% and the cost of capital is 3% greater than the bank rate.
