gigabytes of hard-disk capacity, two USB ports, and a DVDRW drive, and each comes
with the same basic software support package. Both come from mail-order companies
with good reputations. The selling price for each is identical. After some review, Adriana
discovers that the cost of operating and maintaining Drantex over a 3-year period is
estimated to be $300. For Confiar, the operating and maintenance cost is $600. The

faster delivery time (Confiar can be purchased and delivered 1 week sooner than
Drantex). Based on all the information, Adriana has decided to buy Confiar.
