You must decide whether to buy a new car for $19,000 or lease the same car over a three-year period. Under the terms of the lease, you can make a down payment of 1000$ and have monthly payments of $.150 At the end of the three years, the leased car has a residual value (the amount you pay i 12,000f you choose to buy the car at the end of the lease period) of $. Assume you can sell the new car at the end of the three years at the same residual value. Is it less expensive to buy or to lease? Question content area bottom Part 1 The cost for buying the car and selling it after three years would be $ enter your response here.
Suppose you work for a data processing company who needs a new supercomputer now. Your company can either buy the supercomputer for $400,000 or lease it from a computer leasing company through an operating lease. The maintenance will be provided by the leasing company. Your company will not incur any other costs except the lease payment. But the annual maintenance cost will cost the leasing company$25,000 per year for four years. The lease terms require your company to make four annual payments at the beginning of each year. The computer could be depreciated for tax purposes straight-line over four years and it will have no residual value at the end of year 4. The interest rate is 12%. Suppose the tax rate paid by your company is 21% but the leasing company pays only 15% tax due to carried over losses from their previous operation.
What is the pre-tax lease payment amount that will help the leasing company break even within 4 years if it requires 8% return.

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?

- 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_forwardDauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?arrow_forwardAlexander Industries is considering purchasing an insurance policy for its new office building in St. Louis, Missouri. The policy has an annual cost of $10,000. If Alexander Industries doesn’t purchase the insurance and minor fire damage occurs, a cost of $100,000 is anticipated; the cost if major or total destruction occurs is $200,000. The costs, including the state-of-nature probabilities, are as follows: Using the expected value approach, what decision do you recommend? What lottery would you use to assess utilities? (Note: Because the data are costs, the best payoff is $0.) Assume that you found the following indifference probabilities for the lottery defined in part (b). What decision would you recommend? Do you favor using expected value or expected utility for this decision problem? Why?arrow_forward
- Happy Cleaners needs a new steam machine that costs $100,000. The company is evaluating whether it should lease or purchase the machine. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be used for 3 years and then sold, because the firm plans to move to a new facility at that time. The estimated value of the equipment after 3 years is $30,000. A maintenance contract on the equipment would cost $3,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. Alternatively, the firm could lease the equipment for 3 years for a lease payment of $29,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. The lease would include maintenance. The firm is in the 20% tax bracket, and it could obtain a 3-year simple interest loan, interest payable at the end of the year, to purchase the equipment at a before-tax cost of 10%. If there is a positive Net Advantage to Leasing the firm will lease the equipment. Otherwise, it will buy it. What is the NAL?arrow_forwardKohlers Inc. is considering a leasing arrangement to finance some manufacturing tools that it needs for the next three years. The tools will be obsolete and worthless after three years. The firm will depreciate the cost of the tools over their three-year MACRS class life (.33, .45, .15, .07). Kohlers can borrow $4,800,000, the purchase price, at 10% and buy the tools, or it can make three equal, end-of-the-year payments of $2,100,000 each and lease them. The loan is a 3-year simple interest loan, with interest paid at the end of each year. The firm's tax rate is 40%. Annual maintenance costs associated with ownership are estimated at $240,000, but this cost would be covered by the lessor if Kohler leases. What is the net advantage to leasing (NAL), in thousands?

- The Capitalpoor Company is considering purchasing a business machine for $100,000. An alternative is to rent it for $35,000 at the beginning of each year. The rental would include all repairs and service. If the machine is purchased, a comparable repair and service contract can be obtained for $1,000 per year. The salesperson of the business machine firm has indicated that the expected useful service life of this machine is five years, with zero market value, but the company is not sure how long themachine will actually be needed. If the machine is rented, the company can cancel the lease at the end of any year. Assuming an income tax rate of 25%, a straight-line depreciation charge of $20,000 for each year the machine is kept, and an after-tax MARR of 10%, prepare an appropriate analysis to help the firm decide whether it is more desirable to purchase or rent.arrow_forwardA major property developer is concerned about lack of sales due to local economic conditions. To ensure that his condos are occupied, he offers a lease-to-purchase program in which, if people sign a lease by the end of March, they will not have to start making payments until March of the following year. The purchase price of the condo is $186,000. Payments of $1132.03 will be required at the beginning of each month over a 25-year amortization period.

The copier has an expected life of 6 years, after which it has only marginal value (you can ignore any residual value). If you purchase it, the price is $145,000, payable now, and you would have to pay an annual service charge of $8,000. If you lease it, you would have an annual payment of $36,000 each year (for 6 years), which includes service. The lease payment and the annual service charge occur at the beginning of each year. The interest rate is 3.8%. Which option is least costly?arrow_forwardChris Svenson 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 $425 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 3 years. Chris can earn 4 percent interest on his savings. Use the automobile lease versus purchase analysis form to find the total cost of both the lease and the purchase and then recommend the best strategy for Chris.arrow_forward
