1. You have a choice of leasing a truck for six years at $9,000/year, paid at the end of each year, or buying the truck for $44,000. At the end of six years the truck would be worthless. The interest rate is 5.5%. Would you lease or buy?
2. A similar situation as #1: lease for $9,000/year, or buy for $44,000, but if you buy the truck, and pay to maintain the truck (e.g. change oil and other fluids, replace windshield wipers, belts, tires, etc.), which are $500/year, paid at the end of each year, then at the end of six years, the truck would be worth $2,000 and you could sell the truck. Would you lease or buy?
Your firm needs to invest in a new delivery truck. The life expectancy of the delivery truck is five years.
You can purchase a new delivery truck for an upfront cost of $250 000, or you can lease a truck from

Your firm can borrow at 5% APR with quarterly compounding. What is the present value of lease
payments? (Rounded to the nearest dollar)
A manufacturer can lease a machine for 7 years at $3,000 per quarter, payable
