b. Miss Liza's cousin, Abu Bakar is a financial manager for Fish Curry Berhad (FCB), has been asked to perform a lease-versus-buy analysis on a new computer system. The computer costs RM1,200,000, and, if it is purchased, FCB could obtain a term loan for the full amount at a 10% cost. The computer is classified as special purpose, it will be depreciated using straight-line for six years. After 6 years, the computer will be sold, and Abu Bakar's best estimate of its residual value at that time is RM125,000. As an alternative, Alexis Leasing is willing to write a 6-year lease on the computer, including maintenance, for payment of RM340,000 at the beginning of each year. FCB marginal tax rate is 40%. From the above information, help Abu Bakar conduct his analysis by preparing the Cash Flows Analysis, showing clearly the Net Advantage to Leasing (NAL). Based on the NAL, should FCB lease or buy the computer?

Your company will not incur any other costs except the lease payment. But the annual maintenance cost will cost the leasing company$25,000 per year for four years. The lease terms require your company to make four annual payments at the beginning of each year.

The choice of how many points and what rate is optimal is often a matter of how long the buyer intends to keep the property. Darrell Frye is planning to buy an office building at a cost of $987,000. He must pay 10% down and has a choice of financing terms. He can select from a 9% 30-year loan and pay 4 discount points, a 9.25% 30-year loan and pay 3 discount points, or a 9.5% 30-year loan and pay 2 discount points. Darrell expects to hold the building for three years and then sell it. Except for the three rate and discount point combinations, all other costs of purchasing and selling are fixed and identical.
