Owens Company leased equipment for 4 years at 50,000 a year with an option to renew the lease for 6 years at 2,000 per month or to purchase the equipment for 25,000 (a price considerably less than the expected fair value) after the initial lease term of 4 years. Why would this lease qualify as a finance lease?
(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.)
Big Sky Mining Company must install 1.5 million of new machinery in its Nevada mine. It can obtain a bank loan for 100% of the purchase price, or it can lease the machinery. Assume that the following facts apply. (1) The machinery falls into the MACRS 3-year class. (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. What is the cost of owning? b. What is the cost of leasing? c. What is the NAL of the lease?
Lease versus Buy Consider the data in Problem 19-1. Assume that RCs tax rate is 40% and that the equipments depreciation would be 100 per year. If the company leased the asset on a 2-year lease, the payment would be 110 at the beginning of each year. If RC borrowed and bought, the bank would charge 10% interest on the loan. In either case, the equipment is worth nothing after 2 years and will be discarded. Should RC lease or buy the equipment?
Use the information in RE20-6. However, assume that there is no bargain purchase option and that Montevallo guarantees the 20,000 estimated residual value at the end of the 10-year lease. Montevallo estimates that it is probable that it will have to pay 15,000 cash due to the residual value guarantee. Calculate the present value of the lease payments. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Dunbar Corporation can purchase an asset for $21,000; the asset will be worthless after 13 years. Alternatively, it could lease the asset for 13 years with an annual lease payment of $2,113 paid at the end of each year. The firm’s cost of debt is 7%. The IRS classifies the lease as a non-tax-oriented lease. What is the net advantage to leasing? Enter your answer as a positive value. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Dunbar Corporation can purchase an asset for $30,000; the asset will be worthless after 14 years. Alternatively, it could lease the asset for 14 years with an annual lease payment of $3,653 paid at the end of each year. The firm’s cost of debt is 9%. The IRS classifies the lease as a non-tax-oriented lease. What is the net advantage to leasing?
Riverside Inc. plans to purchase or lease $220,000 worth of new equipment. If purchased, the equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years, after which it will be worthless. If leased, the annual lease payments will be $55,000 per year for five years. Assume Riverside’s borrowing cost is 8%, its tax rate is 35%, and the lease qualifies as a true tax lease. If Riverton purchases the equipment, what is the amount of the lease-equivalent loan? a. $292,884 b. $192,488 c. $197,358 d. $195,70 0 e. $190,237
Montclair Manufacturing is considering leasing some equipment. The annual lease payment would be $505,000 per year for nine years. The appropriate interest rate is 7 percent and the company is in the 25 percent tax bracket. What reduction in debt capacity would occur if the company signs the lease? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
ABC Inc. is considering leasing some equipment for 10 years with equal lease payments at the end of each year. The equipment would cost $200,000 to buy and would be depreciated straight-line over 10 years to a zero-salvage value. The applicable cost of debt is 10%. The lessee does not expect to owe taxes for the next 15 years while the lessor's tax rate is 21%. What is the Lessor's minimum acceptable lease payment? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round only your final answer to 2 decimal places, if necessary. Note: Your final answer must be in dollars without the $ sign at the beginning)
At the beginning of 2021, Killion Co. leased furniture to GameStop under a seven-year operating lease agreement. The lease requires quarterly payments of $30,000 each. The furniture was acquired by Killion at a cost of $2.5 million and was expected to have a useful life of 25 years with no residual value. How will GameStop's net income be impacted by this lease? (ignore taxes)? (Enter your answer in whole dollars.).
Lester Corporation is determining whether to lease or purchase new equipment. The firm is in the 38% tax bracket, and its after-tax cost of debt is currently 7%. The terms of the lease and the purchase are: Lease: there are annual end-of-year lease payments of $31,500 which are required over the 3-year life of the lease. All maintenance costs will be paid by the lessor. The lessee will be able to exercise its option to purchase the equipment for $6,000 at the termination of the lease. Purchase: The equipment which costs $77,000, can be financed entirely with a 12% loan which requires annual end-of-year payments of $32,059 for 3 years. The firm will depreciate the equipment under MACRS using a 3-year recovery period (33% in year 1, 45% in year 2 and 15% in year 3). The firm will pay $2,000 per year for a service contract that covers maintenance costs. 11. Calculate the present value of the cash outflow for the lease alternative. 12.
