An asset costs $540,000 and will be depreciated in a straight-line manner over its three- year life. It will have no salvage value. The lessor can borrow at 6.5 percent and the lessee can borrow at 8 percent. The corporate tax rate is 23 percent for both companies. a. What lease payment will make the lessee and the lessor equally well off? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. Assume that the lessee pays no taxes and the lessor is in the 23 percent tax bracket. For what range of lease payments does the lease have a positive NPV for both parties? (Enter your answers from lowest to highest. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

(1) Assume that the lease payments were actually 280,000 per year, that Consolidated Leasing is also in the 25% tax bracket, and that it also forecasts a 200,000 residual value. Also, to furnish the maintenance support, it would have to purchase a maintenance contract from the manufacturer at the same 20,000 annual cost, again paid in advance. Consolidated Leasing can obtain an expected 10% pre-tax return on investments of similar risk. What are its NPV and IRR of leasing under these conditions? (2) What do you think the lessors NPV would be if the lease payment were set at 260,000 per year? (Hint: The lessors cash flows would be a mirror image of the lessees cash flows.)
Reynolds Construction (RC) needs a piece of equipment that costs 200. RC can either lease the equipment or borrow 200 from a local bank and buy the equipment. Reynoldss balance sheet prior to the acquisition of the equipment is as follows: a. (1) What is RCs current debt ratio? (2) What would be the companys debt ratio if it purchased the equipment? (3) What would be the debt ratio if the equipment were leased and the lease not capitalized? (4) What would be the debt ratio if the equipment were leased and the lease were capitalized? Assume that the present value of the lease payments is equal to the cost of the equipment. b. Would the companys financial risk be different under the leasing and purchasing alternatives?
On August 1, 2019, Kern Company leased a machine to Day Company for a 6-year period requiring payments of 10,000 at the beginning of each year. The machine cost 40,000 and has a useful life of 8 years with no residual value. Kerns implicit interest rate is 10%, and present value factors are as follows: Present value for an annuity due of 1 at 10% for 6 periods4.791 Present value for an annuity due of 1 at 10% for 8 periods5.868 Kern appropriately recorded the lease as a sales-type lease. At the inception of the lease, the Lease Receivable account balance should be: a. 60,000 b. 58,680 c. 48,000 d. 47,910
The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given here. The company’s cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life? If not, then what is its optimal economic life? Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project?
