Chapter 20, Problem 13IC
FISH & CHIPS INC, PART I
LEASE ANALYSIS Martha Millon,
If the computer is purchased, a maintenance contract must be obtained at a cost of $25,000, payable at the beginning of each year. After 4 years, the computer will be sold. Millon′s best estimate of its residual value at that time is $125,000. Because technology is changing rapidly however, the residual value is uncertain.
As an alternative. National Leasing is willing to write a 4-year lease on the computer, including maintenance, for payments of $340,000 at the beginning of each year. Fish 4c Chips′s marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. Help Millon conduct her analysis by answering the following questions.
a. 1. Why is leasing sometimes referred to as "off-balance-sheet" financing?
2. What is the difference between a capital lease and an operating lease?
3. What effect does leasing have on a firm′s capital structure?
b. 1. What is Fish & Chips's
2. Explain the rationale for the discount rate you used to find the PV.
c. 1. What is Fish & Chips′s present value cost of leasing the computer? (Hint: Again, construct a time line.)
2. What is the net advantage to leasing? Does your analysis indicate that the firm should buy or lease the computer? Explain.
d. Now assume that Millon believes that the computer′s residual value could be as low as $0 or as high as $250,000, but she stands by $125,000 as her expected value. She concludes that the residual value is riskier than the other cash flows in the analysis, and she wants to incorporate this differential risk into her analysis. Describe how this can be accomplished. What effect will it have on the lease decision?
e. Millon knows that her firm has been considering moving its headquarters to a new location, and she is concerned that these plans may come to fruition prior to the expiration of the lease. If the move occurs, the company would obtain new computers; hence, Millon would like to include a cancellation clause in the lease contract. What effect would a cancellation clause have on the risk of the lease?

The lease would include maintenance.Alternatively, Olsen could purchase the truck outright for $40,000, financing with a bankloan for the net purchase price, amortized over a 4-year period at an interest rate of 10%per year, payments to be made at the end of each year. Under the borrow-to-purchasearrangement, Olsen would have to maintain the truck at a cost of $1,000 per year, payableat year-end. The truck falls into the MACRS 3-year class. The applicable MACRS depreciationrates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The truck has a salvage value of $10,000, which is theexpected market value after 4 years, at which time Olsen plans to replace the truck regardlessof whether the firm leases the truck or purchases it.

Let's assume you're faced with the following lease-or-buy decision:You can purchase a $50,000 piece of equipment by putting 25 percent down and paying off the balance at 10 percent interest with four annual installments of $11,830. The equipment will be used in your business for eight years, after which it can be sold for scrap for $2,500.The alternative is that you can lease the same equipment for eight years at an annual rent of $8,500, the first payment of which is due on delivery. You'll be responsible for the equipment's maintenance costs during the lease.You expect that your combined federal and state income tax rate will be 40 percent for the entire period at issue.
