Tripple A Manufacturing needs to acquire a piece of equipment which will cost the company $80,000. It is estimated that in six years’ time the equipment can be salvaged for $20,000. The company’s bank has agreed to advance funds for the entire purchase price at 8 percent per annum payable in equal installments over the six years. Alternatively, the machine could be leased over the six years from the manufacturer, by way of an operating lease with annual lease payments of $14,000. Triple A’s tax rate is 40 percent and its cost of capital is 15 percent. The equipment has a CCA rate of 20 percent. If the machine is owned, annual maintenance costs will be $500.
Required: Advise Triple A which alternative they should choose, providing them with calculations to support your recommendation.
