1.B

Assume that you have decided to go ahead and keep the business so that you can continue paying yourself a salary. However, as an alternative, you could buy a cheaper version of the broken machine that costs $15,000 but will only last one year. We will call this Option B (Option A is the new machine outlined in question 1). Should you purchase Option A or Option B? Show all your work.
