Background
As a Trainee Accountant, one of my duties is to prepare monthly account summaries for the CEO and the senior managers. In order to perform my job, I need to photocopy a large number of papers. This report is to inform you that the photocopier is always breaking down. It is almost five years old and very unreliable. Last week the photocopier was broken down for three days, which frequently disrupted our work. For instance, this month I went to the copying firm to copy some important reports. To avoid this problem from happening again, I recommend that we purchase a new photocopier.
Options available
I have done a research and found that there are three companies which supply the best kinds of copiers. The three companies are: Why have you used numbering?
Xerox.
Kodak
Minolta.
Each company offers lease or buy deals. Leasing a photocopier is cheaper in the short-term, but it will cost much more since we will be paying as we use it. In contrast, buying a photocopier will be expensive in the first year, but will pay for itself in the long term.
Recommendations
I recommend that we should do the following:
Purchase a Minolta photocopier
I concluded form the research that Minolta is the most suitable photocopier for our department since it is more reliable and costs less in the long term. If you accept this suggestion, then we will place an order right away. Peter Smith from the purchasing department will be responsible for buying the photocopier. Moreover, we found the Minolta photocopier at a considerably suitable price which is $2,400.
