You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $6,000,000 and would be depreciated straight-line to zero over six years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in six years. Assume that the tax rate is 21 percent. You can borrow at 6 percent before taxes. What would the lease payment have to be for both the lessor and the lessee to be indifferent about the lease? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Break-even lease payment

The company would like to start using high-speed low-altitude drones to deliver grocery purchases directly to residential customers' backyards.

You are in the process of getting a new car but are not sure if you should buy or lease. The total cost of the car is $21,000, and you have a $275 monthly spend budget for payments. If you lease the car, the terms of the lease will be forty-eight months at an APR of 2.25%. The residual value of the car is $8,000. If you buy the car, a bank will offer an APR of 2.70% and seven years to repay the loan. You are not required to make a down payment with either the lease or loan options, and payments are made at the end of the month for both options. Should you lease or buy the car given your budget limit of $275 a month? Create a new workbook that shows the difference between leasing and buying the car in terms of monthly payments.
