Big Sky Hospital plans to obtain a new MRI that costs $1.5 million and has an estimated four-year useful life. It can obtain a bank loan for the entire amount and buy the MRI or it can lease the equipment. Assume that the following facts apply to the decision: - The MRI falls into the three-year class for tax depreciation, so the MACRS allowances are 0.33, 0.45,0.15, and 0.07 in Years 1 through 4, respectively. - Estimated maintenance expenses are $75,000 payable at the beginning of each year whether the MRI is leased or purchased. - Big Sky's marginal tax rate is 40 percent. - Big Sky's cost of debt is 15 percent. - If leased, the lease (rental) payments would be $400,000 payable at the end of each of the next four years. - The estimated residual (and salvage) value is $250,000.

The Olsen Company has decided to acquire a new truck. One alternative is to lease the truck on a four-year contract for a lease payment of $10,000 per year, with payments to be made at the beginning of each year. The lease would include maintenance. Alternatively, Olsen could purchase the truck outright for $40,000, financing with a bank loan for the net purchase price, amortised over a four-year period at an interest rate of 10 percent per year, payments to be made at the end of each year. Under the borrow-to-purchase arrangement, Olsen would have to maintain the truck at a cost of $1,000 per year, payable at year-end. The truck falls into the MACRS 3-year class. It has a salvage value of $10,000, which is the expected market value after four years, at which time Olsen plans to replace the truck irrespective of whether it leases or buys. Olsen has a marginal tax rate of 40 percent. Should the truck be leased or purchased? Provide your decision based on NPV analysis.
