Chapter 17, Problem 17.6P
Lease-versus-purchase decision Joanna Browne is considering either leasing or purchasing a new Chrysler Sebring convertible that has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $33,000. The dealership offers a 3-year lease that requires a capital payment of $3,300 ($3,000 down payment + $300 security deposit) and monthly payments of $494. Purchasing requires a $2,640 down payment, sales tax of 6.5% ($2,145), and 36 monthly payments of $784. Joanna estimates that the value of the car will be $17,000 at the end of 3 years. She can earn 5% annual interest on her savings and is subject to a 6.5% sales tax on purchases.
Make a reasonable recommendation to Joanna, using a lease-versus-purchase analysis that, for simplicity, ignores the
- a. Calculate the total cost of leasing.
- b. Calculate the total cost of purchasing.
- c. Which should Joanna do?

Lease versus purchase Northwest Lumber Company needs to expand its facilities. To do so, the firm must acquire a machine costing $80,000. The machine can be leased or purchased. The firm is in the 21% tax bracket, and its after-tax cost of debt is 9%. The terms of the lease and purchase plans are as follows:
Lease The leasing arrangement requires end-of-year payments of $19,800 over 5 years. All maintenance costs will be paid by the lessor; insurance and other costs will be borne by the lessee. The lessee will exercise its option to purchase the asset for $24,000 at termination of the lease.
Purchase If the firm purchases the machine, its cost of $80,000 will be financed with a 5-year, 14% loan requiring equal end-of-year payments of $23,302. The machine will be depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. (See Table 2 for the applicable depreciation percentages.) The firm will pay $2,000 per year for a service contract that covers all maintenance costs; insurance and other…
Lease versus purchase JLB Corporation is attempting to determine whether to lease or purchase research equipment. The firm is in the 23% tax bracket, and its after-tax cost of debt is currently 9%. The terms of the lease and of the purchase are as follows:
Lease Annual end-of-year lease payments of $30,000 are required over the three-year life of the lease. All maintenance costs will be paid by the lessor; insurance and other costs will be borne by the lessee. The lessee will exercise its option to purchase the asset for $6,500 at termination of the lease. Ignore any future tax benefit associated with the purchase of the equipment at the end of year 3 under the lease option.
Purchase The equipment costs $70,000 and can be financed with a 15% loan requiring annual end-of-year payments of $30,658 for three years. JLB will depreciate the equipment under MACRS using a three-year recovery period.

- 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?arrow_forwardDifferential analysis for a lease or sell decision Burlington Construction Company is considering selling excess machinery with a book value of 115,000 (original cost of 275,000 less accumulated depreciation of 160,000) for 90,000, less a 6% brokerage commission. Alternatively, the machinery can be leased for a total of 100,000, for four years, after which it is expected to have no residual value. During the period of the lease, Burlington Construction Companys costs of repairs, insurance, and property tax expenses are expected to be 9,000. a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 15 to determine whether Burlington Construction Company should lease (Alternative 1) or sell (Alternative 2) the machinery. b. On the basis of the data presented, would it be advisable to lease or sell the machinery? Explain.arrow_forwardLease versus purchase car decision. Use Worksheet 5.1. Ben Hall is trying to decide whether to lease or purchase a new car costing $18,000. If he leases, he’ll have to pay a $600 security deposit and monthly payments of $450 over the 36-month term of the closed-end lease. Ben could earn 1% on the amount of any down payment or security deposit. On the other hand, if he buys the car, then he’ll have to make a $2,400 down payment and will finance the balance with a 4% interest rate. He’ll also have to pay a 6 percent sales tax ($1,080) on the purchase price, and he expects the car to have a residual value of $6,500 at the end of three years. Use the automobile lease versus purchase analysis form in Worksheet 5.1 to find the total cost of both the lease and the purchase, and then recommend the best strategy for Ben.arrow_forward

- Macinski Leasing leases a new machine to Sharrer SA. The machine has a cost of $70,000 and fair value of $95,000. Under the 3-year, non- cancelable contract, Sharrer will receive title to the machine at the end of the lease. The machine has a 3-year useful life and no residual value. The lease was signed on January 1, 2020. Macinski expects to earn an 8% return on its investment, and this implicit rate is known by Sharrer. The annual rentals are payable on each December 31, beginning December 31, 2020.Instructionse. Prepare the journal entry at commencement of the lease for Sharrer, assuming (1) Sharrer does not know Macinski's implicit rate (Sharrer's incremental borrowing rate is 9%), and (2) Sharrer incurs initial directs costs of $10,000.arrow_forwardBird Wing Bedding can lease an asset for 4 years with payments of $24,000 due at the beginning of the year.

Omni Enterprises is considering whether to borrow funds and purchase an asset or to lease the asset under an operating lease arrangement. If it purchases the asset, the cost will be $10,000. It can borrow funds for four years at 12 percent interest. The asset will qualify for a 25 percent CCA. Assume a tax rate of 35 percent. The other alternative is to sign two operating leases, one with payments of $2,600 for the first two years and the other with payments of $4,600 for the last two years. In your analysis, round all values to the nearest dollar. The leases would be treated as operating leases. Compute the aftertax cost of the lease for the four years. Compute the annual payment for the loan. Compute the amortization schedule for the loan. (Disregard a small difference from a zero balance at the end of the loan. It is due to rounding.) Determine the cash flow effect of the CCA. Compute the aftertax cost of the borrow-purchase alternative. Compute the present value of the aftertax…arrow_forward
