The annual maintenance costs are $840 for model A and $710 for model B. Assume that the opportunity cost of capital is 9 percent. Calculate EAC for both the models and choose which one should you buy? (Round intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
The EAC of Model A is $
The EAC of Model B is $
Since EAC is lower for , you should buy .
