Fidelity Life Insurance has a document imaging system that needs replacement. A local salesperson quoted a cost of $10,000 with an estimatedsalvage of $900 after 5 or more years. If the system is expected to save $1700 per year in clerical time, find the payback time at 8% per year. As a practice, the office manager purchases equipment only when the payback is less than 6 years. Otherwise, he prefers to lease. Should the imaging system be purchased or leased?
