Sprite Canada has decided to acquire a bottling machine for its existing plant. The cost of the machine is $450,000. In five years
the machine is expected to have a salvage value of $150,000. Bank of Nova Scotia has agreed to advance funds for the entire
purchase price at 8 percent per annum payable in equal instalments at the end of each year over the five years.
As an alternative, the machine could be leased over the five years from the manufacturer, Metalworks LTD., with an annual lease
payments of $100,000 payable at the beginning of each year.
Sprite Canada's tax rate is 40 percent. Its cost of capital is 15 percent, and its tax shields are realized at the end of the year.
Bottling machines have a CCA rate of 20 percent. If the machine is owned, annual maintenance costs will be $5,000.
Required:
Should Sprite Canada lease or buy its machine? Show all calculations.
Hull Manufacturing Co. must decide whether to purchase or lease a new piece of
equipment. The equipment can be leased for $4,000 a year or purchased for $15,000.
The lease includes maintenance and service. The salvage value of the equipment at
the end of five years is $5,000. If the equipment is owned, service and maintenance
charges (a tax-deductible cost) would be $900 a year. The firm can borrow the entire
amount at a rate of 15% if they buy. The tax rate is 50%. Which method of financing
would you choose?

ASF wishes to acquire a 100,000 multifacet cutting machine the machine has a useful life of eight years, after which there is no expected salvage value. If ASF were to finance the cutting machine by signing an eight-year lease contract, annual lease payments of $16,000 would be required. The company could also finance the purchase of the machine with a 12 percent term loan having a payment schedule of the same general configuration as the lease payment schedule. The asset falls in the five-year property class for cost recovery (depreciation) purposes, and the company has a 35 percent tax rate. What is the present value of cash outflows for each of these alternatives, using the after-tax cost of debt as the discount rate? Which alternative is preferred?

It can obtain a bank loan for 100% of the purchase price, or it can lease the machinery. Assume that the following facts apply: 1. 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.) 2. Under either the lease or the purchase, Big Sky must pay for insurance, property taxes, and maintenance. 3. The firm's tax rate is 25%. 4. The loan would have an interest rate of 14%. It would be nonamortizing, with only interest paid at the end of each year for four years and the principal repaid at Year 4. 5.

One alternative is to lease the truck on a 4 year guideline contract for a lease payment of $10,000 per year, with payments to be made at the end of each year. The lease would include maintenance. Alternatively, the company could purchase the truck outright for $40,000 (depreciated under Straight Line Method), financing the purchase by a bank loan for the net purchase price and amortizing the loan over a 4-year period at an interest rate of 10% per year. Under the borrow to purchase arrangement, the company would have to maintain the truck at a cost of $1,000 per year, payable at year end. It has residual value of $10,000, which is the expected market value after 4 years, when the company plans to replace the truck irrespective of whether it leases or buys. The tax rate is 40%. So what is the company's PV cost of leasing? What is the company's PV cost of owning? Should the truck be leased or purchased?arrow_forward
- On March 1, 2024, a company entered into an agreement with the state to obtain the rights to operate a mineral mine for $6 million. The mine is expected to produce 155,000 tons of mineral. As part of the agreement, the company agrees to restore the land to its original condition after mining operations are completed in approximately five years. Management has provided the following possible outflows for the restoration costs that will occur five years from now: (PV of $1.

- A project requires an investment of $800 in a fixed asset that is classified as a five-year asset under MACRS. The project will have a three-year life. Find the depreciation for year three.arrow_forwardA construction company is considering acquiring a new earthmover. The purchase price is $110,000, and an additional $25,000 is required to modify the equipment for special use by the company. The equipment falls into the MACRS seven-year classification (the tax life), and it will be sold after five years (the project life) for $50,000. The purchase of the earthmover will have no effect on revenues, but the machine is expected to save the firm $68,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal tax rate is 25%. Assume that the initial investment is to be financed by a bank loan at an interest rate of 10% payable annually.

The asset will be kept in service for six years, after which it will be sold for $27,000. During its useful life, it is estimated that the asset will produce annual revenues of $25,000. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated to be $5,000 in the first year. These O&M costs are projected to increase by $500 per year each year thereafter.
