- Thomas Corporation is evaluating whether to lease or purchase equipment. Its tax rate is 21% . The company expects to use the equipment for 4 years, with no expected salvage value. The purchase price is $2 million and MACRS depreciation, 3-year class, will apply. If the company enters into a 4-year lease, the lease payment is $460,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. If the company purchases the equipment it will borrow from its bank at an interest rate of 11% . a.

One alternativeis to lease the truck on a 4-year contract for a lease payment of $10,000 per year, withpayments to be made at the beginning of each year. 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.

- Assume a 10-year lease contract on some equipment with equal lease payments at the end of each year. The equipment would cost $200,000 to buy and would be depreciated straight-line over 10 years to a zero-salvage value. The applicable cost of debt is 10%. The lessee does not expect to owe taxes for the next 15 years while the lessor's tax rate is 21%. What is the Lessee's maximum acceptable lease payment?arrow_forwardASF 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_forward29. Omni Enterprises is considering whether to borrow funds and purchase an asset or to lease the asset under an operating lease arrangement. If it purchases the asset, the cost will be $10,000. It can borrow funds for four years at 12 percent interest. The asset will qualify for a 25 percent CCA. Assume a tax rate of 35 percent. The other alternative is to sign two operating leases, one with payments of $2,600 for the first two years and the other with payments of $4,600 for the last two years. In your analysis, round all values to the nearest dollar. The leases would be treated as operating leases. Compute the aftertax cost of the lease for the four years. Compute the annual payment for the loan. Compute the amortization schedule for the loan. (Disregard a small difference from a zero balance at the end of the loan. It is due to rounding.) Determine the cash flow effect of the CCA. Compute the aftertax cost of the borrow-purchase alternative. Compute the present value of the aftertax…arrow_forward
- Brambles 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.
