(2) Under either the lease or the purchase, Big Sky must pay for insurance, property taxes, and maintenance. (3) The firms tax rate is 25%. (4) The loan would have an interest rate of 15%. It would be nonamortizing, with only interest paid at the end of each year for four years and the principal repaid at Year 4. (5) The lease terms call for 400,000 payments at the end of each of the next 4 years. (6) Big Sky Mining has no use for the machine beyond the expiration of the lease, and the machine has an estimated residual value of 250,000 at the end of the 4th year. a.

Wansley Lumber is considering the purchase of a paper company, which would require an initial investment of $300 million. Wansley estimates that the paper company would provide net cash flows of $40 million at the end of each of the next 20 years. The cost of capital for the paper company is 13%. Should Wansley purchase the paper company? Wansley realizes that the cash flows in Years 1 to 20 might be $30 million per year or $50 million per year, with a 50% probability of each outcome. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, Wansley can sell the company 2 years after purchase (at Year 2 in this case) for $280 million if it no longer wants to own it. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%. Wansley can wait for 1 year and find out whether the cash flows will be $30 million per year or $50 million per year before deciding to purchase the company. Because of the nature of the purchase contract, if it waits to purchase, Wansley can no longer sell the company 2 years after purchase. Given this additional information, does decision-tree analysis indicate that it makes sense to purchase the paper company? If so, when? Again, assume that all cash flows are discounted at 13%.

The building would be fully depreciated for tax purposes over an expected life of 20 years.

Straight-line depreciation will be used but is allowable only if the company purchases the building.
