16) You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a very common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $6.3 million and it qualifies for a 30% CCA rate. Because of radiation contamination, it is valueless in four years. You can lease it for $1.875 million per year for four years. Assume that the assets pool remains open and payments are made at the beginning of the year. Assume the tax rate is 37%. You can borrow at 8% pre-tax. Calculate the NAL.  Should you lease or buy?

You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a very common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $5,700,000. Because of radiation contamination, it actually will be completely valueless in four years. You can lease it for $1,665,000 per year for four years. Assume that the tax rate is 24 percent. You can borrow at 7 percent before taxes. Assume that the scanner will be depreciated as three-year property under MACRS. Use Table 10.7. a. What is the NAL of the lease?

Yummy Food is expanding its business and wants to open a new facility to make frozen lasagna, which requires a new automated lasagna maker. A lasagna maker can be purchased for $350,000 or leased under a finance lease over 7 years, with lease payments to be made at the beginning of each year. If the company purchases the lasagna maker, it can be fully depreciated to zero using the straight-line method over seven years. The management expects the scrap/residual value of the lasagna maker to be $60,000 at the end of the lease. After a detailed analysis of the project, Yummy Food determines the appropriate after-tax cost of capital of the project to be 15% per annum. Yummy Food pays a corporate tax rate of 28% and it can borrow funds at a before-tax interest rate of 5% per annum. All cash-flows have been quoted on a before-tax basis. Given this information, what is the lease payment (per annum) that would make Yummy Food indifferent between leasing and borrow-to-buy the machine? (Using…
