Answer:
The clamshell should be purchased.
Explanation:
Note: see the attached for the calculation of the net future worth (NFW) of the two options.
NFW of Buy Option = $121,150.54
NFW of Lease Option = –$302,003.98
Since the $121,150.54 NFW of the buy option is positive, while the $302,003.98 NFW of the lease option is negative, the clamshell should be purchased.
