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.

- 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?arrow_forwardBrambles Inc is looking to acquire a new equipment for its project that will last for eight years. The after-tax required rate of return of the project is 16% per annum. Brambles can borrow at a before-tax interest rate of 8.5% per annum and buy the equipment outright or lease the equipment from ABC's Leasing. Brambles has evaluated the lease and decided to buy the equipment by borrowing since the NPV of lease is calculated to be -$12,000. However, the purchase cost of the equipment was under- estimated by $24,000, also the salvage value of the equipment at the end of the lease term was under- estimated by $8,000. The applicable corporate tax rate is 30% and the equipment is going to be fully depreciated over the eight years using a straight-line method. Will Brambles' decision be affected by adjusting the purchasing cost and salvage value? O It is now indifferent between lease and borrow-to-buy. The equipment should still be purchased by borrowing.

It can obtain a 6-year bank loan for 100% of the cost at a 15% interest rate with equal payments at the end of each year. Sadik’s tax rate is 25%. The equipment falls in 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.) Alternatively, a Texas investment banking firm that represents a group of investors can arrange a guideline lease calling for payments of $320,000 at the end of each year for 3 years. Under the proposed lease terms, the Sadik must pay for insurance, property taxes, and maintenance. Sadik must use the equipment if it is to continue in business, so it will almost certainly want to acquire the property at the end of the lease. If it does, then under the lease terms it can purchase the machinery at its fair market value at Year 3. The best estimate of this market value is $170,000, but it could be much…arrow_forward
