You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a very common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $6,400,000, and it would be depreciated straight-line to zero over five years. Because of radiation contamination, it actually will be completely valueless in five years. The tax rate is 24 percent and you can borrow at 8 percent before taxes. What would the lease payment have to be for both lessor and lessee to be indifferent about the lease? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
