Your company decided to offer product delivery service and would need a truck for the delivery. You are evaluating the
following two options. Option 1: Your company can lease a truck at a pretax cost of $27,000 per year. Option 2: Your
company can buy a truck at a cost of $84,000, with annual pretax maintenance expenses of $14,000. The truck will
depreciate to zero on a straight-line basis. The truck has a 4 years life and will have a salvage value of $18,000 at the
end of its life. If the tax rate is 35% and the discount rate is 10%, which option would you prefer? (Hint: compute the
equivalent annual cost (EAC).)
You are interested in a new Ford Taurus. After visiting your Ford dealer, doing your research on the best leases available, you have three options. (i) Purchase the car for cash and receive a $1,900 cash rebate from Dealer A. The price of the car is $19,000. (ii) Lease the car from Dealer B. Under this option, you pay the dealer $550 now and $225 a month for each of the next 36 months (the first $225 payment occurs 1 month from today). After 36 months you may buy the car for $10,900. (iii) Purchase the car from Dealer C who will lend you the entire purchase price of the car for a zero interest 36-month loan with monthly payments. The car price is $19,000. Suppose the market interest rate is 4%. What is the net cost today of the cheapest option?
You are considering either leasing or purchasing a car. You notice an ad that says you can lease the car you want for $616.00 per month. The lease term is 48 months with the first payment due at inception of the lease. You must also make an additional down payment of $1,340. The ad also says that the residual value of the vehicle is $21,937. The list price of the vehicle is $36,624, but after much research, you have concluded that you could buy the car for a total "drive-out" price of $33,600. What is the quoted annual interest rate you are actually paying with the lease?

- Chris Svenson is trying to decide whether to lease or purchase a new car costing $18,000. If he leases, he’ll have to pay a $600 security deposit and monthly payments of $425 over the 36-month term of the closed-end lease. On the other hand, if he buys the car then he’ll have to make a $2,400 down payment and will finance the balance with a 36-month loan requiring monthly payments of $515; he’ll also have to pay a 6 percent sales tax ($1,080) on the purchase price, and he expects the car to have a residual value of $6,500 at the end of 3 years. Chris can earn 4 percent interest on his savings. Use the automobile lease versus purchase analysis form to find the total cost of both the lease and the purchase and then recommend the best strategy for Chris.arrow_forwardYou need a particular piece of equipment for your production process.

There are three options available for Agata Bertina : 1. Purchase a factory with a useful life of 10 years today for $700,000 in cash. This factory has no additional space for rent. 2. Lease a factory with annual lease payments of $45,000 for 10 years. Payments are made at the beginning of each year. 3. Purchase a factory with a useful life of 10 years today for $745,000.

In Option 1 you purchase the machine outright for $50,000, pay a maintenance contract of $1,000 per year, and expect to be able to resell the machine after 10 years at a salvage value of $10,000. In Option 2, you lease the machine at $7,000 per year and pay no maintenance, but receive no salvage. Assume that you will be able to take in $8,000 per year in income from this machine.

- Suppose you work for a data processing company who needs a new supercomputer now. Your company can either buy the supercomputer for $400,000 or lease it from a computer leasing company through an operating lease. The maintenance will be provided by the leasing company. Your company will not incur any other costs except the lease payment. But the annual maintenance cost will cost the leasing company$25,000 per year for four years. The lease terms require your company to make four annual payments at the beginning of each year. The computer could be depreciated for tax purposes straight-line over four years and it will have no residual value at the end of year 4. The interest rate is 12%. Suppose the tax rate paid by your company is 21% but the leasing company pays only 15% tax due to carried over losses from their previous operation.

The company is evaluating whether it should lease or purchase the machine. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be used for 3 years and then sold, because the firm plans to move to a new facility at that time. The estimated value of the equipment after 3 years is $30,000. A maintenance contract on the equipment would cost $3,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. Alternatively, the firm could lease the equipment for 3 years for a lease payment of $29,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. The lease would include maintenance. The firm is in the 20% tax bracket, and it could obtain a 3-year simple interest loan, interest payable at the end of the year, to purchase the equipment at a before-tax cost of 10%. If there is a positive Net Advantage to Leasing the firm will lease the equipment. Otherwise, it will buy it.

Let's assume you're faced with the following lease-or-buy decision:You can purchase a $50,000 piece of equipment by putting 25 percent down and paying off the balance at 10 percent interest with four annual installments of $11,830. The equipment will be used in your business for eight years, after which it can be sold for scrap for $2,500.The alternative is that you can lease the same equipment for eight years at an annual rent of $8,500, the first payment of which is due on delivery. You'll be responsible for the equipment's maintenance costs during the lease.You expect that your combined federal and state income tax rate will be 40 percent for the entire period at issue.
