You're getting good answers, but sometimes the third of fourth approach to answering the question helps. Not to imply that the previous answers are incorrect or incomplete. 1. "Lease Rate" is a convenience, given to you so that you can multiply your selling price by a number and end up with a payment acceptable to the lessor. 2.

Define similar equipment? That means if they have a 20ppm unit...

Re: Ricoh CPC Methodology
We do this all the time. 3500 B/w @ .011= $38.50 and 1500 Color @ $.066=$99 w/a Total count of $137.50...
