He has gathered information about each option but is not sure how to compare the alternatives. Purchasing a new vehicle will cost $26,500, and he expects to spend about $500 per year in maintenance costs. He would keep the vehicle for five years and estimates that the salvage value will be $10,500. Alternatively, Poindexter could lease the same vehicle for five years at a cost of $5,000 per year, including all maintenance. The lease payments are made at the beginning of each year. Assume a discount rate of 10%. o Provide an analysis for Poindexter at 10%. o Provide the same analysis for good old Poindexter assuming a rate of 5%.
