Lease versus Buy Consider the data in Problem 19-1. Assume that RCs tax rate is 40% and that the equipments depreciation would be 100 per year. If the company leased the asset on a 2-year lease, the payment would be 110 at the beginning of each year. If RC borrowed and bought, the bank would charge 10% interest on the loan. In either case, the equipment is worth nothing after 2 years and will be discarded. Should RC lease or buy the equipment?

Consider a firm A that wishes to acquire an equipment. The equipment is expected to reduce costs by $5700 per year. The equipment costs $29000 and has a useful life of 7 years. If the firm buys the equipment, they will depreciate it straight-line to zero over 7 years and dispose of it for nothing. They can lease it for 7 years with an annual lease payment of $8000.
