Your company is trying to decide whether it should purchase a copier from Xerox or lease it. The copier has an expected life of 6 years, after which it has only marginal value (you can ignore any residual value). If you purchase it, the price is $145,000, payable now, and you would have to pay an annual service charge of $8,000. If you lease it, you would have an annual payment of $36,000 each year (for 6 years), which includes service. The lease payment and the annual service charge occur at the beginning of each year. The interest rate is 3.8%. Which option is least costly?

At the end of 2 years, the machine will have zero salvage value, but every two years the company can purchase a replacement machine with the same cost and identical cash inflows.Alternatively, it can choose Machine B, which requires an expenditure of $1 million at t = 0, has an expected life of 4 years, and will generate positive after-tax cash flows of $360,000 per year (all cash flows are realized at year end). At the end of 4 years, Machine B will also have an after-tax salvage value of $190,000. The cost of capital is 10%. Which machine should the Owens Mills choose?
