Many individuals prefer to lease their vehicles rather than buy them. A new Audi Q7 can be leased for a down payment of $5,000 and 36 end-of-the-month payments for $699. Alternately, the car can be purchased for cash for $52,000 and a Q7 with about 40,000 miles is estimated to have resale value of $26,000 in three years from now. Should one lease or buy if opportunity cost is 5.16% APR? Show all your work.
You are considering either leasing or purchasing a car. You notice an ad that says you can lease the car you want for $616.00 per month. The lease term is 48 months with the first payment due at inception of the lease. You must also make an additional down payment of $1,340. The ad also says that the residual value of the vehicle is $21,937. The list price of the vehicle is $36,624, but after much research, you have concluded that you could buy the car for a total "drive-out" price of $33,600. What is the quoted annual interest rate you are actually paying with the lease?

- Compare the cost of the following leasing agreement with the finance charge on a loan for the same time period: The value of the car is $15,000 at the beginning of the lease period, and its projected residual value at the end of three years is $4,000. The lease requires a $500 down payment.

Let's assume you're faced with the following lease-or-buy decision:You can purchase a $50,000 piece of equipment by putting 25 percent down and paying off the balance at 10 percent interest with four annual installments of $11,830. The equipment will be used in your business for eight years, after which it can be sold for scrap for $2,500.The alternative is that you can lease the same equipment for eight years at an annual rent of $8,500, the first payment of which is due on delivery. You'll be responsible for the equipment's maintenance costs during the lease.You expect that your combined federal and state income tax rate will be 40 percent for the entire period at issue.

Everett Adams 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. 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 36-month loan requiring monthly payments of $515; 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 Everett.arrow_forward

- Amy Lloyd is interested in leasing a new Honda and has contacted three automobile dealers for pricing information. Each dealer offered Amy a closed-end 36-month lease with no down payment due at the time of signing. Each lease includes a monthly charge and a mileage allowance. Additional miles receive a surcharge on a per-mile basis. The monthly lease cost, the mileage allowance, and the cost for additional miles follow: Amy decided to choose the lease option that will minimize her total 36-month cost. The difficulty is that Amy is not sure how many miles she will drive over the next three years. For purposes of this decision, she believes it is reasonable to assume that she will drive 12,000 miles per year, 15,000 miles per year, or 18,000 miles per year. With this assumption Amy estimated her total costs for the three lease options. For example, she figures that the Hepburn Honda lease will cost her 36(299) + 0.15(36,000 36,000) = 10,764 if she drives 12,000 miles per year, 36(299) + 0.15(45,000 36,000) = 12,114 if she drives 15,000 miles per year, or 36(299) + 0.15(54.000 36,000) = 13,464 if she drives 18,000 miles per year. a. What is the decision, and what is the chance event? b. Construct a payoff table for Amys problem. c. If Amy has no idea which of the three mileage assumptions is most appropriate, what is the recommended decision (leasing option) using the optimistic, conservative, and minimax regret approaches? d. Suppose that the probabilities that Amy drives 12,000, 15,000, and 18,000 miles per year are 0.5, 0.4, and 0.1, respectively. What option should Amy choose using the expected value approach? e. Develop a risk profile for the decision selected in part (d). What is the most likely cost, and what is its probability? f. Suppose that, after further consideration, Amy concludes that the probabilities that she will drive 12,000, 15,000, and 18,000 miles per year are 0.3, 0.4, and 0.3, respectively. What decision should Amy make using the expected value approach?arrow_forwardCost Planning; High-End Copiers Companies that have a high demand for making copies, bothcolor and black and white, often choose to lease a high-end copier that provides fast and reliableservice at a reasonable cost. The lease is usually for 3 to 5 years, and the cost to the user is $0.01 perpage for black-and-white copies and typically $0.10 per page for color copies. These are the terms ofyour current 3-year lease contract with Ricoh Company, which is up for renewal this month; the leaseterms are expected to be the same for the next 3 years, if renewed.Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) developed an innovative copier that can reduce the cost of color copies. The copier measures exactly how much color is used in a color copy so that the price of the copy canbe determined by the amount of color used rather than a fixed price per page. The cost could be as lowas $0.075 per page for a color copy. HP calls this a “flexible-pricing” approach. Assume for this examplethat the cost of the leased…arrow_forwardCompare the cost of the following leasing agreement with the finance charge on a loan for the same time period.

- Jeff & Bezos is a fresh groceries delivery company. The company has access to borrowing funds at a pre-tax rate of 6 % per year. Jeff & Bezos pays income taxes using 21 % tax rate. The company would like to start using high-speed low-altitude drones to deliver grocery purchases directly to residential customers' backyards. By doing so, the company would be saving $1.4 million pre-tax every single year. Jeff & Bezos is contemplating leasing the drones for a lease term that matches the drones' economic life. It would lease them from a different company, Nets & Flicks, that currently owns the required number of the drones. Doing that would have an estimated pre-tax annual cost of $1,970,000. Nets & Flicks' requirement is that the lease payments are made by Jeff & Bezos at the beginning of each year. Instead of leasing the fleet of the drones, Jeff & Bezos is also contemplating buying them, which would cost the company $8.8 million. If the company chooses to buy…arrow_forwardBased on the following, calculate the costs of buying versus leasing a motor vehicle.

The car costs $49,000. You can either lease (i.e. an agreement by which you pay periodic fees to use the asset, but you do not own the asset) the car or purchase the car. The car dealer has the following arrangement for you: Option 1 (Leasing the Car): You pay $5,100 today and $545 at the end of each month for the next three years, last payment occurs at the end of year 3 . Option 2 (Purchasing the Car): You pay $49,000 now for the car in one lump sum, but you will be able to resell the car for $32,000 at the end of year 3 . a) Draw the Timeline to illustrate the cash flow for Option (1) and Option (2). b) Given the relevant interest rate is 5.3% compounded monthly, by computing the PV should you lease or purchase the car?arrow_forward
