Chris 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.
You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $4,900,000 and would be depreciated straight-line to zero over three years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in three years. Assume that the tax rate is 25 percent. You can borrow at 7 percent before taxes. What would the lease payment have to be for both the lessor and the lessee to be indifferent about the lease?

Assume that the tax rate is 25 percent. You can borrow at 6 percent before taxes. What would the lease payment have to be for both the lessor and the lessee to be indifferent about the lease?

Ben Halls 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.

A diesel generator for electrical power can be purchased by a remote community for $350,000 and used for 10 years, when its salvage value is $50,000. Alternatively, it can be leased for $42,500 a year. (Remember that lease payments occur at the start of the year.) The community’s interest rate is 7%. (a) What is the interest rate for buying versus leasing? Which is the better choice? (b) The community will spend $80,000 less each year for fuel and maintenance, than it currently spends on buying power. Should it obtain the generator? What is the rate of return for the generator using the best financing plan?
Your company decided to offer product delivery service and would need a truck for the delivery. You are evaluating the following two options. Option 1: Your company can lease a truck at a pretax cost of $27,000 per year. Option 2: Your company can buy a truck at a cost of $84,000, with annual pretax maintenance expenses of $14,000. The truck will depreciate to zero on a straight-line basis. The truck has a 4 years life and will have a salvage value of $18,000 at the end of its life. If the tax rate is 35% and the discount rate is 10%, which option would you prefer? (Hint: compute the equivalent annual cost (EAC).)
Your rental company wants to purchase a new car for its car rental business. The car costs $20,000. It will be obsolete in three years. Your options are to borrow the money at 10% or lease the car. If you lease it, the payments will be $7,500 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. If you buy the car, you can apply a CCA rate of 30% per year. The tax rate is 35%. Assume that the car has a projected salvage value of $700 and the asset pool is closed, what would be NAL. Should you buy or lease? Why?
