- The X 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 services. If the machine is purchased, a comparable repair and service contract can be obtainedfor $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 the machine will 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 company is considering the purchase of a new electron beam welder at a price of $250,000. The company would initially pay a down payment of $16000 and would borrow the balance at i=10%, for 6 years (making a single end of year payment each year). If the electron beam welder is purchased, the company will obtain a new 6-year welding contract that will increase annual income by $40,000. Maintenance and operating costs for the new welder will amount to $2100 for the first year and will increase by $1000 each year that the welder is used. CCA depreciation will be used for tax purposes. The welding machine sales company has agreed to "buy the welder back" for $25,000, when the new contract is concluded after six years. The tax rate = 34%, the MARR is 12%, CCA=30%. Develop the cash flow/ investment including as many details as possible. What is the net cash flow over 6 years ?
