To determine: The maximum lease payment acceptable by WD Company.
Introduction:
Lease
An asset can be leased or purchased. A lease in a contractual agreement made between two parties; lessor and lessee. The agreement explains the use of asset for a particular time by lessee. In return, lessor gets periodical payments for the use of asset.
Salvage Value
Salvage value is a calculated amount which is expected to be received at the end of the useful life of an asset. It can also be called as disposal value, residual value or scrap value. The estimated salvage value is subtracted from the cost of the fixed asset to determine the total amount of

- Problem 2. The first cost (FC), life (n), and annual benefits (A) for a prospective project are uncertain. Optimistic (OP), most likely (ML), and pessimistic (PS) estimates are given. The salvage value is 20% of the first cost. If the interest rate is 25%, what is the mean value of NPW? Parameter First cost Annual benefit Salvage value Project life in years Pessimistic $150,000 $50,000 $30,000 5 Answer: The mean value of NPW is Most likely $100,000 $45,000 $20,000 7 Optimistic $80,000 $40,000 $16,000 10arrow_forwardMf2. Sunshine Oil & Gas is considering an investment in Perfect Lease. Given the following information, calculate the payback period (in months). Should Sunshine invest in Perfect Lease if management requires a payback period of less than 36 months?

- 26 A lease has a term of 3 years and annual payments of $25,000. The leased asset would cost $74,000 to buy and would be depreciated straight line to a zero salvage value over 3 years. The actual salvage value is negligible. The lessee can borrow at a rate of 12 percent and has a tax rate of 21 percent. What is the incremental cash flow of purchasing instead of leasing for Year 3 from the lessee's perspective? Multiple Choice O O O O -$19.750 -$24930 -$250 $24.530 $250arrow_forwardPA2. LO 11.2Jasmine Manufacturing is considering a project that will require an initial investment of $52,000 and is expected to generate future cash flows of $10,000 for years 1 through 3, $8,000 for years 4 and 5, and $2,000 for years 6 through 10.

The facility will have a three-year useful life, and it will not have any salvage value at the end of the project’s life. If demand is strong, the facility will be able to generate annual cash flows of $255,000, but if demand turns out to be weak, the facility will generate annual cash flows of only $135,000. Stay Swift Corp. thinks that there is a 50% chance that demand will be strong and a 50% chance that demand will be weak. If the company uses a project cost of capital of 13%, what will be the expected net present value (NPV) of this project? -$37,596 -$39,575 -$29,681 -$19,788 Stay Swift Corp. could spend $510,000 to build the facility. Spending the additional $10,000 on the facility will allow the company to switch the products they produce in the facility after the first year of operations if demand…arrow_forward
- Asset Purchase Price BWP Inc. is considering the purchase of an asset. BWPs required rate of return on new assets is 12%. The expected net cash inflows generated by the new asset are as follows: Required: Given that the net cash inflows can be realized, what is the maximum amount BWP should be willing to pay for the new asset? If BWP pays that amount, at what amount should BWP recognize the asset on the balance sheet? Assume that each cash inflow occurs at the end of the year. (Contributed by Norma C.
