D) Day 100

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (C) Day 50

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Purchasing cost of the item needed in project = $10,000

Daily operating cost = $500

Lease amount per day received = $700

Now,

For the purchase cost be the same as the least cost

The total cost should be equal to the total lease received

let the 'x' be the day on which purchase cost is equal to lease cost

thus,

$10,000 + $500x = $700x

or

($700 - $500)x = $10,000

or

$200x = $10,000

or

x = 50

Hence,

Option (C) Day 50
