Compare the cost of the following leasing agreement with the finance charge on a loan for the same time period: The value of the car is $15,000 at the beginning of the lease period, and its projected residual value at the end of three years is $4,000. The lease requires a $500 down payment.
Monthly payment $315
Acquisition fee $300
Disposition charge $150
Other things being equal, one would want to finance this car rather than take this lease if the finance cost were equal to or less than?

A five year lease could be arranged with annual lease payment of 5000$ payable at beginning of each year. The tax shield from lease payment is available at year end. The company tax rate is 25%. The equipment would cost $25000 and has a five year expected lifespan, and no residual value is expected. if purchased, asset would be financed through a term loan at 12%. The loan calls for equally payment to be made at end of end year for five years. Suppose that the equipment would qualify for CCA on a straight-line basis over five years. Required: 1. Calculate the cash flows for each financing alternate. 2. Which alternative is the most economical.arrow_forwardSuppose you can buy a new Toyota corolla for $20000 and sell it for $12000 in third year.

- A builder is offering $117,767 loans for his properties at 9 percent for 25 years. Monthly payments are based on current market rates of 9.5 percent and are to be fully amortized over 25 years. The property would normally sell for $130,000 without any special financing. Required: a. At what price should the builder sell the properties to earn, in effect, the market rate of interest on the loan? Assume that the buyer would have the loan for the entire term of 25 years. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A At what price should the builder sell the properties to earn, in effect, the market rate of interest on the loan?

Payments would be $728.78 per month. The builder is offering buyers a mortgage that reduces the payments by 50 percent for the first year and 25 percent for the second year. After the second year, regular monthly payments of $728.78 would be made for the remainder of the loan term. Required: a.

The depreciation schedule and salvage value are given below. It can borrow $5,000,000, the purchase price, at 10% and buy the machinery, or it can make 3 equal end-of-year lease payments of $2,100,000 each and lease them. The loan obtained from the bank is a 3-year simple interest loan, with interest paid at the end of the year (the loan will be repaid in full in 3 years). The firm's tax rate is 40%. Annual maintenance costs associated with ownership are estimated at $250,000 (paid at the end of the year), but this cost would be borne by the lessor if it leases.

ACME would like a base rent of $11 per square foot (PSF) with step-ups of $1 per year beginning one year from now. Required: a. What is the present value of cash flows to ATRIUM under the above lease terms? (Assume a 10% discount rate.) b. The owner of ATRIUM believes that base rent of $11 PSF in (a) is too low and wants to raise that amount to $15 with the same $1 step-ups. However, now ATRIUM would provide ACME a $53,000 moving allowance and $130,000 in tenant improvements (Tls). What would be the present value of this alternative to ATRIUM? c. ACME informs ATRIUM that it is willing to consider a $14 PSF with the $1 annual stepups. However, under this proposal, ACME would require ATRIUM to buyout the one year remaining on its existing lease in another building. That lease is $6 PSF for 20,000 SF per year.
