- Grummet Company is acquiring a new wood lathe with a cash purchase price of $80,000.

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?arrow_forwardLease 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?arrow_forward
- FISH CHIPS INC, PART I LEASE ANALYSIS Martha Millon, financial manager for Fish it Chips Inc., has been asked to perform a lease-versus-buy analysis on a new computer system. The Computer costs 1,200,000, and if it is purchased. Fish Chips could obtain a term loan for the full amount at a 10% cost. The loan would be amortized over the 4-year life of the computer, with payments made at the end of each year The computer is classified as special purpose; hence, it falls into the MACRS 3-year class. The applicable MACRS rates are 33%. 45%. 15%, and 7%. If the computer is purchased, a maintenance contract must be obtained at a cost of 25,000, payable at the beginning of each year. After 4 years, the computer will be sold. Millons best estimate of its residual value at that time is 125,000. Because technology is changing rapidly however, the residual value is uncertain. As an alternative. National Leasing is willing to write a 4-year lease on the computer, including maintenance, for payments of 340,000 at the beginning of each year. Fish 4c Chipss marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. Help Millon conduct her analysis by answering the following questions. a. 1. Why is leasing sometimes referred to as "off-balance-sheet" financing? 2. What is the difference between a capital lease and an operating lease? 3. What effect does leasing have on a firms capital structure? b. 1. What is Fish Chips's present value cost of owning the computer? (Hint: Set up a table whose bottom line is a time line" that shows the cash flows over the period t = 0 to t = 4. Then find the PV of these cash flows, or the PV cost of owning.) 2. Explain the rationale for the discount rate you used to find the PV. c. 1. What is Fish Chipss present value cost of leasing the computer? (Hint: Again, construct a time line.) 2. What is the net advantage to leasing? Does your analysis indicate that the firm should buy or lease the computer? Explain. d. Now assume that Millon believes that the computers residual value could be as low as 0 or as high as 250,000, but she stands by 125,000 as her expected value. She concludes that the residual value is riskier than the other cash flows in the analysis, and she wants to incorporate this differential risk into her analysis. Describe how this can be accomplished. What effect will it have on the lease decision? e. Millon knows that her firm has been considering moving its headquarters to a new location, and she is concerned that these plans may come to fruition prior to the expiration of the lease. If the move occurs, the company would obtain new computers; hence, Millon would like to include a cancellation clause in the lease contract. What effect would a cancellation clause have on the risk of the lease?arrow_forwardScrimiger Paints wants to upgrade its machinery and on September 20 takes out a loan from the bank in the amount of $500,000.

The mall’s owner plans tosell the property in a year and wants rent at that time to be high so that the property willappear more valuable. Therefore, the store has been offered a “great deal” (owner’s words)on a new 5-year lease. The new lease calls for no rent for 9 months, then payments of $2,600per month for the next 51 months. The lease cannot be broken, and the store’s WACC is12% (or 1% per month).a. Should the new lease be accepted? (Hint: Make sure you use 1% per month.)b. If the store owner decided to bargain with the mall’s owner over the new lease payment,what new lease payment would make the store owner indifferent betweenthe new and old leases?
