- Dunbar Corporation can purchase an asset for $35,000; the asset will be worthless after 12 years. Alternatively, it could lease the asset for 12 years with an annual lease payment of $4,538 paid at the end of each year. The firm's cost of debt is 9%. The IRS classifies the lease as a non-tax-oriented lease. What is the net advantage to leasing? Enter your answer as a positive value. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $arrow_forwardAssume a 10-year lease contract on some equipment with equal lease payments at the end of each year. The equipment would cost $200,000 to buy and would be depreciated straight-line over 10 years to a zero-salvage value. The applicable cost of debt is 10%. The lessee does not expect to owe taxes for the next 15 years while the lessor's tax rate is 21%. What is the Lessee's maximum acceptable lease payment?arrow_forwardASF wishes to acquire a 100,000 multifacet cutting machine the machine has a useful life of eight years, after which there is no expected salvage value. If ASF were to finance the cutting machine by signing an eight-year lease contract, annual lease payments of $16,000 would be required. The company could also finance the purchase of the machine with a 12 percent term loan having a payment schedule of the same general configuration as the lease payment schedule. The asset falls in the five-year property class for cost recovery (depreciation) purposes, and the company has a 35 percent tax rate. What is the present value of cash outflows for each of these alternatives, using the after-tax cost of debt as the discount rate? Which alternative is preferred?arrow_forward
