Nissan is advertising a 24-month lease on the all-electric Leaf for $190 payable at the beginning
of each month.
The lease requires a $2000 down payment plus the first months payment on signing. No
security deposit is required.
The lessee pays for maintenance, excess wear and tear, and $0.18 per mile over 12,000 miles
per year.
Lease end purchase option is $17500 and lease payments total $4560.
A disposition fee of $350 is due at the end of the lease period.
Assuming an interest rate of 6% compounded monthly, what is the total cost of leasing if you
put 40,000 miles at the end of lease?
Your company is considering the introduction of a new product line. The initial investment required for this project is $500,000, and annual maintenance costs are anticipated to be $45,000. Annual operating costs will be directly proportional to the level of production at $8.50 per unit, and each unit of product can be sold for $65. If the MARR is 15% and the project has a life of 5 years, what is the minimum annual production level for which the project is economically viable? Use the AW method.
