Chapter 25, Problem 1P

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.

  1. a. What is the risk-free monthly lease rate for a five-year lease in a perfect market?
  2. b. What would be the monthly payment for a five-year $200,000 risk-free loan to purchase the H1200?

Summary Introduction

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

The risk-free monthly lease rate payment in a perfect market is $2,880.02.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Supercomputer cost: $200,000.

Lease term: 5 years.

Lease payment period: Totalyearforlease×monthina year = 5×12=60 .

Residual market value: $60,000.

Risk free interest rate: 5.00%

Formula for the calculation of present value of the payment:

PV(Lease Payments)=Purchase PricePV(Residual Value)

Formula for the calculation of the monthly lease payment in perfect market:

PV(Lease Payments)=Monthlylease(1+1Rate/Month(11(1+Rate/Month)Period-1))

Calculate the present value (PV) of the lease payment:

PV(Lease Payments)=Purchase PricePV(Residual Value)=Purchase PriceResidual Value(1+Rate)period=$200,000$60,000(1+5.00%12)5×12=$200,000$46,751.39=$153,248.60.

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.

PV(Lease Payments)=Monthlylease(1+1Rate/Month(11(1+Rate/Month)Period))$153,247.68=Monthlylease×[(1+15.00%/12)×(11(1+5.00%/12)59)]$153,247.68=Monthlylease×[53.211]Monthlylease=$153,247.6853.211=$2,880.02.

Therefore, the monthly lease payment in a perfect market is $2,880.02.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The monthly payment for a five-year risk free loan.

Answer to Problem 1P

The monthly payment for a five-year risk free loan is $3,774.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Lease term: 5 years.

Lease payment period: Totalyearforlease×Monthina year= 5×12=60 .

Interest rate: 5.00%.

Formula for the calculation of the monthly lease payment:

PV(Lease Payments)=Monthlylease(1+1Rate/Month(11(1+Rate/Month)Period))

Calculation of the monthly payment for a five-year risk free loan:

PV(Lease Payments)=Monthlylease×1Monthlyrate(11(1+Monthlyrate)Period)$153,247.68=Monthlylease×[1(5.00%/12)(11(1+(5.00%/12))60)]$153,247.68=Monthlylease×[52.99]Monthlylease=$3,774.24752.99=$3,774.24

Therefore, the monthly payment for a five-year risk free loan is $3,774.24.

Consider a project that needs an investment outlay I at time t-0, with a constant annuity as returns at the end of each year of its ten-year project lifetime. The salvage value S at the end of life is unknown. Two other things are known as well about the project. The simple payback period is 4 years, and the discounted payback period is 6 years. What is the implied MARR (minimum acceptable rate of return) for this result?
Consider an asset that costs $120 today. You are going to hold it for 1 year and then sell it. Suppose that there is a 25 percent chance that it will be worth $100 in a year, a 25 percent chance that it will be worth $115 in a year, and a 50 percent chance that it will be worth $140 in a year. What is its average expected rate of return? Next, fifi gure out what the investment’s average expected rate of return would be if its current price were $130 today. Does the increase in the current price increase or decrease the asset’s average expected rate of return? At what price would the asset have a zero rate of return?
A security that costs $89.90 will provide a return of 6.5 percent per year. If you want to keep the investment until it grows to a value of $143.8, how long will you have to keep it? (Hint: use log() function to solve for the number of years you have to keep it, and round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
