Question 13-The Wildcat Oil Company is trying to decide whether it will purchase or lease a computer assisted drilling system for its oil exploration operations. The management of the company has come to the conclusion that to remain competitive the company must use the system; this will provide the company with annual pre-tax savings of $300,000. The cost of the system is $2.75 million and will be fully amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. The company can borrow at 9%. The Southtown Leasing Company has offered to lease the equipment to Wildcat for an annual payment of $620,000. As a policy Southtown asks its tenants to make rental payments upfront. a) What is the ANL for Wildcat? What is the maximum rental amount that should accept the company? b) Assuming the equipment is estimated to have an after-tax residual value of $250,000 at the end of the lease period, what is the maximum lease amount that Wildcat should be willing to pay? c) Many landlords ask tenants for a security deposit in the form of cash payment or to put up property as collateral. Suppose Southtown forces Wildcat to pay a $100,000 security deposit at the start of the lease. If the lease payments are still $620,000 per year, is it beneficial for Wildcat to lease the equipment?
