The Decision to Lease or Buy at Warf Computers
Warf Computers has decided to proceed with the manufacture and distribution of the virtual keyboard (VK) the company has developed. To undertake this venture, the company needs to obtain equipment for the production of the microphone for the keyboard. Because of the required sensitivity of the microphone and its small size, the company needs specialized equipment for production.
Nick Warf, the company president, has found a vendor for the equipment. Clapton Acoustical Equipment has offered to sell Warf Computers the necessary equipment at a price of $6.1 million. Because of the rapid development of new technology, the equipment falls in the three-year MACRS
Alternatively, the company can lease the equipment from Hendrix Leasing. The lease contract calls for four annual payments of $1.48 million due at the beginning of the year. Additionally, Warf Computers must make a security deposit of $400,000 that will be returned when the lease expires. Warf Computers can issue bonds with a yield of 11 percent, and the company has a marginal tax rate of 35 percent.
3. In the leasing discussion, James informs Nick that the contract could include a purchase option for the equipment at the end of the lease. Hendrix Leasing offers three purchase options:
a. An option to purchase the equipment at the fair market value.
b. An option to purchase the equipment at a fixed price. The price will be negotiated before the lease is signed.
c. An option to purchase the equipment at a price of $250,000.
How would the inclusion of a purchase option affect the value of the lease?

Assume an investor deposits $116,000 in a professionally managed account. One year later, the account has grown in value to $136,000 and the investor withdraws $43,000. At the end of the second year, the account value is $107,000. No other additions or withdrawals were made. During the same two years, the risk-free rate remained constant at 3.94 percent and a relevant benchmark earned 9.58 percent the first year and 6.00 percent the second. Calculate geometric average of holding period returns over two years. (You need to calculate IRR of cash flows over two years.)
Round the answer to two decimals in percentage form.
