Follow-up Question

Red Bull F1 plans to purchase or lease $277,764 worth of equipment. If
purchased, the equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over
five years, after which it will be worthless. If leased, the annual lease
payments will be $42,922 per year at the end of every year for five years.
Assume Red Bull F1's borrowing cost is 8%, the tax rate is 35%, and the
lease qualifies as a true tax lease.
If Red Bull F1 purchases the equipment, what is the amount of the lease equivalent loan?
