The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given here. The company’s cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life? If not, then what is its optimal economic life? Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project?

Assuming ANB Leasing requires a 12% after-tax rate of return on the lease, determine the required annual beginning of the year lease payments. a. $31,592 b. $46,120 c. $45,609 d. $52,653
Hull Manufacturing Co. must decide whether to purchase or lease a new piece of equipment. The equipment can be leased for $4,000 a year or purchased for $15,000. The lease includes maintenance and service. The salvage value of the equipment at the end of five years is $5,000.

Which method of financing would you choose? Use the following capital cost allowance amounts. Year Amount $4,500 3,150 2,205 1,543 1,081 2 3 4
Kohlers Inc. is considering a leasing arrangement to finance some manufacturing tools that it needs for the next three years. The tools will be obsolete and worthless after three years. The firm will depreciate the cost of the tools over their three-year MACRS class life (.33, .45, .15, .07). Kohlers can borrow $4,800,000, the purchase price, at 10% and buy the tools, or it can make three equal, end-of-the-year payments of $2,100,000 each and lease them. The loan is a 3-year simple interest loan, with interest paid at the end of each year. The firm's tax rate is 40%. Annual maintenance costs associated with ownership are estimated at $240,000, but this cost would be covered by the lessor if Kohler leases. What is the net advantage to leasing (NAL), in thousands? (drop three zero's in your calculations.)
AFX Sdn Bhd is trying to decide whether to accept a business loan or a lease financing facility for an equipment purchase. The equipment cost $60,000 with 3-year economic life, depreciated annually based on MACRS 3-year class with the following rates: Year 1 = 33%; Year 2 = 45%; Year 3 = 15%; Year 4 = 7%. If AFX accepts the business loan option, the 3-year loan will attract an interest rate at 12% interest calculated on a yearly reducing balance.
