2) To complete a project you can either buy a machine at the beginning of a 5 year period, or hire 5 employees at the beginning of a 5 year period. Employee costs (salary and benefits) are $5,000 per employee at the end of each month for 5 years. Maintenance costs at the end of each month (including the last month) are 1% of the machine price, and you can sell the machine at the end of the 5 years for a total of $500,000.
