    Total cost if they purchase the equipment = 10,000 + 100 (20) = 10,000 + 2,000 = 12,000

    Total cost if the lease the equiplment = 500 (20) = 10,000

    The total cost of leasing the equipment is less than the total cost of purchasing the equipment, therefore, the company should lease the equipment.
