Consider a firm A that wishes to acquire an equipment. The equipment is expected to reduce costs by $4200 per year. The equipment costs $25000 and has a useful life of 5 years. If the firm buys the equipment, they will depreciate it straight-line to zero over 5 years and dispose of it for nothing. They can lease it for 5 years with an annual lease payment of $5000. If the after-tax interest rate on secured debt issued by company A is 2% and tax rate is 35%, what is the Net Advantage to Leasing (NAL)?(keep two decimal places)

- Big Sky Mining Company must install 1.5 million of new machinery in its Nevada mine. It can obtain a bank loan for 100% of the purchase price, or it can lease the machinery. Assume that the following facts apply. (1) The machinery falls into the MACRS 3-year class. (2) Under either the lease or the purchase, Big Sky must pay for insurance, property taxes, and maintenance. (3) The firms tax rate is 25%. (4) The loan would have an interest rate of 15%. It would be nonamortizing, with only interest paid at the end of each year for four years and the principal repaid at Year 4. (5) The lease terms call for 400,000 payments at the end of each of the next 4 years. (6) Big Sky Mining has no use for the machine beyond the expiration of the lease, and the machine has an estimated residual value of 250,000 at the end of the 4th year. a. What is the cost of owning? b. What is the cost of leasing? c. What is the NAL of the lease?(1) Assume that the lease payments were actually 280,000 per year, that Consolidated Leasing is also in the 25% tax bracket, and that it also forecasts a 200,000 residual value. Also, to furnish the maintenance support, it would have to purchase a maintenance contract from the manufacturer at the same 20,000 annual cost, again paid in advance. Consolidated Leasing can obtain an expected 10% pre-tax return on investments of similar risk. What are its NPV and IRR of leasing under these conditions? (2) What do you think the lessors NPV would be if the lease payment were set at 260,000 per year? (Hint: The lessors cash flows would be a mirror image of the lessees cash flows.)Consider a firm A that wishes to acquire an equipment. The equipment is expected to reduce costs by $5700 per year. The equipment costs $29000 and has a useful life of 7 years. If the firm buys the equipment, they will depreciate it straight-line to zero over 7 years and dispose of it for nothing. They can lease it for 7 years with an annual lease payment of $8000. If the after-tax interest rate on secured debt issued by company A is 7% and tax rate is 25%, what is the Net Advantage to Leasing (NAL)?(keep two decimal places) Answer: -18233.59
- Super Sonics Entertainment is considering buying a machine that costs $445,000. The machine will be depreciated over five years by the straight-line method and will be worthless at that time. The company can lease the machine with year-end payments of $121,000. The company can issue bonds at a 10 percent interest rate. If the corporate tax rate is 35 percent. Assume that lease payments occur at the end of the year Calculate the NALAl-Tek is considering leasing some new equipment for 5 years with annual payments. The equipment would cost $115,000 to buy and would be depreciated straight-line to a zero salvage value. The actual salvage value is zero. The applicable pretax borrowing rate is 8 percent. The lessee does not expect to owe taxes for several years. The lessor’s tax rate is 35 percent. What is the minimum lease payment that will be acceptable to both parties?Your firm is considering leasing a new computer. The lease lasts for 4 years. The lease calls for 5 payments of $450 per year with the first payment occurring immediately. The computer would cost $5,900 to buy and would be depreciated using the straight-line method to zero salvage over 4 years. The firm can borrow at a rate of 7%. The corporate tax rate is 21%. What is the NPV of the lease?
- Nu-Tek is considering leasing some equipment for 4 years with equal annual lease payments. The equipment would cost $74,000 to buy and would be depreciated straight-line over 4 years to a zero-salvage value. The actual salvage value is zero. The applicable pretax borrowing rate is 7.3 percent. The lessee does not expect to owe taxes for several years while the lessor's tax rate is 21 percent. What is the minimum lease payment that will be acceptable to both parties? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round only your final answer up to 2 decimal places, if necessary. Note: Your final answer must be in dollars without the $ sign at the beginning)Company C is considering a leasing arrangement for an asset that has no value after its use for 3 years. It can borrow the value of the asset, at a 3-year simple interest loan of 10% with payments at the end of the year and buy the asset, or the company can make 3 equal end-of-year lease payments of $2,100,000 each and lease them. Annual maintenance costs associated with ownership are estimated at $240,000, but this cost would be borne by the lessor if it leases. What is the net advantage to leasing (NAL), if the firm's tax rate is 25%? (round to the nearest integer)(The Depreciation rate is 33.33% for Year 1, 33.33% for Year 2, and 33.33% for Year 3. The value of the asset $4,800,000)The smiths are not sure whether they should buy or lease equipment. A five year lease could be arranged with annual lease payment of 5000$ payable at beginning of each year. The tax shield from lease payment is available at year end. The company tax rate is 25%. The equipment would cost $25000 and has a five year expected lifespan, and no residual value is expected. if purchased, asset would be financed through a term loan at 12%. The loan calls for equally payment to be made at end of end year for five years. Suppose that the equipment would qualify for CCA on a straight-line basis over five years. Required: 1. Calculate the cash flows for each financing alternate. 2. Which alternative is the most economical.
- Kohers Inc is considering a leasing arrangement to finance some manufacturing tools that it needs for the next 3 years. The tools will be obsolete and worthless after 3 years. The firm will depreciate the cost of the tools on a straight-line basis over their 3 year life. It can borrow $4,800,000, the purchase price, at 10% and buy the tools, or it can make 3 equal end-of-year lease payments of $2,100,000 each and lease them. The loan obtained from the bank is a 3-year simple interest loan, with interest paid at the end of the year. The firm's tax rate is 40%. Annual maintenance costs associated with ownership are estimated at $240,000 but this cost would be borne by the lessor if it leases. What is the net advantage to leasing(NAL), in thousands? (Suggestion:Delete 3 zeros from dollars and work in thousands)ABC Inc. is considering leasing some equipment for 10 years 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 Lessor's minimum acceptable lease payment? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round only your final answer to 2 decimal places, if necessary. Note: Your final answer must be in dollars without the $ sign at the beginning)Firm A is considering leasing equipment. The equipment will provide $2.8 million in annual pre-tax cost savings. The cost of leasing is $8.78 million and the equipment will be depreciated straight-line to zero over five years. Assume a tax rate of 21% and a borrowing rate of 7%. Firm B has offered to lease this equipment for payments of $1.95 million per year. Assume that payments for the lease are made at the start of the year. i) What is the maximum lease payment that would be acceptable to Firm A? ii) Suppose now Firm B requires Firm A to pay a $600,000 security deposit at the inception of the lease, and this amount is refunded at the end of the lease. If the lease payment is still $1.95 million. Is it advantageous for Firm A to lease the equipment now?
