- You need a particular piece of equipment for your production process. An equipment-leasing company has offered to lease the equipment to you for $10,500 per year if you sign a guaranteed-year5-year lease (the lease is paid at the end of each year). The company would also maintain the equipment for you as part of the lease. Alternatively, you could buy and maintain the equipment yourself. The cash flows from doing so are listed here: (the equipment has an economic life of 5 years). If your discount rate is 6.9%, what should you do?arrow_forwardSuppose you work for a data processing company who needs a new supercomputer now. Your company can either buy the supercomputer for $400,000 or lease it from a computer leasing company through an operating lease. The maintenance will be provided by the leasing company. Your company will not incur any other costs except the lease payment. But the annual maintenance cost will cost the leasing company$25,000 per year for four years. The lease terms require your company to make four annual payments at the beginning of each year. The computer could be depreciated for tax purposes straight-line over four years and it will have no residual value at the end of year 4. The interest rate is 12%. Suppose the tax rate paid by your company is 21% but the leasing company pays only 15% tax due to carried over losses from their previous operation. What is the pre-tax lease payment amount that will help the leasing company break even within 4 years if it requires 8% return.

- Happy Cleaners needs a new steam machine that costs $100,000. The company is evaluating whether it should lease or purchase the machine. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be used for 3 years and then sold, because the firm plans to move to a new facility at that time. The estimated value of the equipment after 3 years is $30,000. A maintenance contract on the equipment would cost $3,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. Alternatively, the firm could lease the equipment for 3 years for a lease payment of $29,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. The lease would include maintenance. The firm is in the 20% tax bracket, and it could obtain a 3-year simple interest loan, interest payable at the end of the year, to purchase the equipment at a before-tax cost of 10%. If there is a positive Net Advantage to Leasing the firm will lease the equipment. Otherwise, it will buy it.

- Your friend Harold is trying to decide whether to buy or lease his next vehicle. He has gathered information about each option but is not sure how to compare the alternatives. Purchasing a new vehicle will cost $29,500, and Harold expects to spend about $800 per year in maintenance costs. He would keep the vehicle for five years and estimates that the salvage value will be $11,700. Alternatively. Harold could lease the same vehicle for five years at a cost of $3.835 per year, including maintenance. Assume a discount rate of 10 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the net present value of Harold's options. (Euture Value of $1. Present Value of $1. Euture Value Annuity of $1. Present Value Annuity of $1.)

First Capital is offering the property for $200,000. If you buy the property, you believe that you will have to spend (1) $10,500 on various acquisition-related expenses and (2) an average of $2,000 per monthduring the next 12 months for repair costs, etc., in order to prepare it for sale. Because First Capital Bank would like to sell the property as soon as possible, it is willing to provide $180,000 in financing at 8 percent interest for 12 months payable monthly (interest only). Your market research indicates that after you repair the property, it may sell for about $225,000 at the end of one year. Furthermore, you will probably have to pay about $3,000 in fees and selling expenses in order to sell the property at that time.

- A small strip mining cola company is trying to decide whether it should purchase or lease a new clamshell. If purchased, the shell will cost $150,000 and is expected to have a $65,000 salvage value after 6 years. Alternatively, the company can lease a clamshell for $20,000 per year, but the lease payment will have to be made at the beginning of each year. If the clamshell is purchased, it will be leased to other strip-mining companies whenever possible, an activity that is expected to yield revenue of $12,000 per year. If the company’s MARR is 15% per year, should the clamshell be purchased or leased on the basis of future worth analysis.

Lee has an investment cost of $429,000 in the machine, which has a useful life of 25 years and no salvage value at the end of that time.

He can have the engine overhauled at a cost of $1800 and then most likely have to pay another $800 per year for the next 2 years for maintenance. The car will have no salvage value at that time. Alternatively, a colleague offered to make the professor a $5000 loan to buy another used car. He must pay the loan back in two equal installments of $2500 due at the end of Year 1 and Year 2, and at the end of the second year he must give the colleague the car. What interest rate is the professor paying on the loan from his colleague, if the vehicle will be worth $3000 after 2 years? Is this an ethical interest rate?The “new” used car has an expected annual maintenance cost of $300. If the professor selects this alternative, he can sell his current vehicle to a junkyard for $500. Interest is 6%. Using present worth analysis, which alternative should he select and why?arrow_forward
