Chapter 19, Problem 2P

Lease versus Buy

Consider the data in Problem 19-1. Assume that RC’s tax rate is 40% and that the equipment’s 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. If the after-tax interest rate on secured debt issued by company A is 7% and tax rate is 25%, what is the Net Advantage to Leasing (NAL)?(keep two decimal places) Answer: -18233.59

If the firm buys the equipment, they will depreciate it straight-line to zero over 5 years and dispose of it for nothing. They can lease it for 5 years with an annual lease payment of $5000. If the after-tax interest rate on secured debt issued by company A is 2% and tax rate is 35%, what is the Net Advantage to Leasing (NAL)?(keep two decimal places)
The smiths are not sure whether they should buy or lease equipment. A five year lease could be arranged with annual lease payment of 5000$ payable at beginning of each year. The tax shield from lease payment is available at year end. The company tax rate is 25%. The equipment would cost $25000 and has a five year expected lifespan, and no residual value is expected. if purchased, asset would be financed through a term loan at 12%. The loan calls for equally payment to be made at end of end year for five years. Suppose that the equipment would qualify for CCA on a straight-line basis over five years. Required: 1. Calculate the cash flows for each financing alternate. 2. Which alternative is the most economical.
