Suppose an H1200 supercomputer has a cost of $200,000 and will have a residual market value of $60,000 in five years. The risk-free interest rate is 5% APR with monthly compounding.
- a. What is the risk-free monthly lease rate for a five-year lease in a perfect market?
- b. What would be the monthly payment for a five-year $200,000 risk-free loan to purchase the H1200?
a.
To determine: The risk-free monthly lease rate payment in a perfect market.
Introduction: Lease is a contract between the lessee and lessor for the use of an asset. Lessee agrees to pay a specific amount as per contract to the lessor for the use of the lessor asset.
Answer to Problem 1P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Supercomputer cost: $200,000.
Lease term: 5 years.
Lease payment period:
Residual market value: $60,000.
Risk free interest rate: 5.00%
Formula for the calculation of present value of the payment:
Formula for the calculation of the monthly lease payment in perfect market:
Calculate the present value (PV) of the lease payment:
Therefore, the PV of the lease payment is $153,248.60.
Calculate the monthly lease payment in a perfect market:
Lease payment remains for 59 payments that are paid as an annuity because the first lease payment is paid in upfront.
Therefore, the monthly lease payment in a perfect market is $2,880.02.
b.
To determine: The monthly payment for a five-year risk free loan.
Answer to Problem 1P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Lease term: 5 years.
Lease payment period:
Interest rate: 5.00%.
Formula for the calculation of the monthly lease payment:
Calculation of the monthly payment for a five-year risk free loan:
Therefore, the monthly payment for a five-year risk free loan is $3,774.24.

- A database marketing firm can lease its computer equipment with beginning-of-quarter payments of $10,000 for three years. Alternatively, it can purchase the equipment for $131,200 on a loan at a rate of 9% compounded quarterly with an expected resale value after three years of $33,000.

- Suppose the risk-free interest rate is 6.2% APR with monthly compounding. If a $3.3 million MRI machine can be leased for 7 years for $38,500 per month, what residual value must the lessor recover to break even in a perfect market with no risk?

Now 2 years into the term, the borrower is thinking of refinancing it. How much would be the refinancing costs? Figure out exact number with these variablesarrow_forwardSuppose you take out a 25-year $300,000 mortgage with an APR of 6%. You make payments for 5 years (60 monthly payments) and then consider refinancing the original loan. The new loan would have a term of 15 years, have an APR of 5.6%, and be in the amount of the unpaid balance on the original loan. (The amount you borrow on the new loan would be used to pay off the balance on the original loan) The administrative cost of taking out the second loan would be $1500. Use the information to complete parts (a) through (e) below a. What are the monthly payments on the original loan? (Round to the nearest cent as needed) b. A short calculation shows that the unpaid balance on the original loan after 5 years is $269,796.26, which would become the amount of the second loan.
