Lease versus Buy Big Sky Mining Company must install $1.5 million of new machinery in its Nevada mine. It can obtain a bank loan for 100% of the purchase price, or it can lease the machinery. Assume that the following facts apply: The machinery falls into the MACRS 3-year class. (The depreciation rates for Year 1 through Year 4 are equal to 0.3333, 0.4445, 0.1481, and 0.0741.) Under either the lease or the purchase, Big Sky must pay for insurance, property taxes, and maintenance. The firm's tax rate is 25%. The loan would have an interest rate of 10%. It would be nonamortizing, with only interest paid at the end of each year for four years and the principal repaid at Year 4. i. The lease terms call for $400,000 payments at the end of each of the next 4 years. Big Sky Mining has no use for the machine beyond the expiration of the lease, and the machine has an estimated residual value of $200,000 at the end of the 4th year.
Darren Mack owns the "Gas n' Go" convenience store and gas station. After hearing a marketing lecture, he realizes that it might be possible to draw more customers to his high-margin convenience store by selling his gasoline at a lower price. However, the "Gas n' Go' is unable to qualify for volume discounts on its gasoline purchases, and therefore cannot sell gasoline for profit if the price is lowered. Each new pump will cost $95,000 to install, but will increase customer traffic in the store by 13,000 customers per year. Also, because the "Gas n' Go" would be selling its gasoline at no profit, Darren plans on increasing the profit margin on convenience store items incrementally over the next five years. Assume a discount rate of 8 percent. The projected convenience store sales per customer and the projected profit margin for the next five years are given in the table below. i Year 1 23 $5 $5.50 $7 $9 $11 a. What is the NPV of the next five years of cash flows if Darren had four new…
