Net Present Value Analysis of a Lease or Buy Decision
The Riteway Ad Agency provides cars for its sales staff. In the past, the company has always purchased its cars from a dealer and then sold the cars after three years of use. The company’s present fleet of cars is three years old and will be sold very shortly. To provide a replacement fleet, the company is considering two alternatives:
Purchase alternative: The company can purchase the cars, as in the past, and sell the cars after three years of use. Ten cars will be needed, which can be purchased at a discounted price of $17,000 each. If this alternative is accepted, the following costs will be incurred on the fleet as a whole:
At the end of three years, the fleet could be sold for one-half of the original purchase price.
Lease alternative: The company can lease the cars under a three-year lease contract. The lease cost would be $55,000 per year (the first payment due at the end of Year 1). As part of this lease cost, the owner…
A company is considering two alternatives with regards to equipment which it needs. The alternatives are as follows:
Alternative A:PurchaseCost of Equipment 700,581Salvage Value 105,896Daily operating cost 534Economic life, years 10
Alternative B: Rental at 1,539 per day.
At 18% interest, how many days per year must the equipment be in use if Alternative A is to be chosen.
Net Present Value Analysis
Bilboa Freightlines, S.A., of Panama, has a small truck that it uses for intracity deliveries. The truck is worn out and must be either overhauled or replaced with a new truck. The company has assembled the following information:
If the company keeps and overhauls its present delivery truck, then the truck will be usable for five more years. If a new truck is purchased, it will be used for five years, after which it will be traded in on another truck. The new truck would be diesel-operated, resulting in a substantial reduction in annual operating costs, as shown above.
The company computes depreciation on a straight-line basis. All investment projects are evaluated using a 16% discount rate.
Required:
1. What is the net present value of the “keep the old truck” alternative? Round to the nearest whole dollar.
2. What is the net present value of the “purchase the new truck” alternative? Round to the nearest whole dollar.
3. Should Bilboa Freightlines keep the…
