e Safety Razor Company has a large tax-loss carry-forward and does not expect to pay taxes for another 10 years. The company is therefore proposing to lease $110,000 of new machinery. The lease terms consist of 7 equal lease payments prepaid annually. The lessor will take CCA on the machinery at a 30% rate and the pool will never close.

Although the company does not have an option to delay construction, it does have the option to abandon the project 1 year from now if the tax is imposed. If it abandons the project, it will sell the complete property 1 year from now at an expected price of $7 million after taxes. Once the project is abandoned, the company will no longer receive any cash flows. Assuming that all cash flows are discounted at 12%, will the existence of this abandonment option affect the company’s decision to proceed with the project today? Explain.
