- (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-taxreturn on investments of similar risk. What are itsNPV andIRR of leasing under these conditions? - (2) What do you think the lessor’s NPV would be if the lease payment were set at $260,000 per year? (Hint: The lessor’s cash flows would be a “mirror image” of the lessee’s cash flows.)

Case Study:
LS Inc has to acquire new market data and quotation system for its new home office. The system may display the data onscreen or may save it for later retrieval and system also allow customers to make call and can convey current quotes. Cost of the equipment is $ 1,000,000 and if the company wants to purchase the equipment they can borrow a loan at a interest rate of 10%. Useful life of equipment is 6 years and it comes under 3 years MARCS class or it can purchase a contract of 4 years where $20,000 have to be paid at the beginning of each year and it will be sold after 4 years and for consolidated ;leasing it will cost for $260,000 which include maintenance cost. Federal plus state tax is 25%.

Explanation of Solution
Formula to calculate net present value:
Substitute the value of present value of cash inflows: $568,758.82 and total present value of cash outflow: $825,000.
Calculation of net present value:
Therefore, the net present value if lease payment of $260,000 is made will be $(256,241.18)

- ANB Leasing is planning to lease an asset costing $210,000. The lease period will be 6 years. At the end of 6 years, the salvage value is estimated to be $30,000. The asset will be depreciated on a straight-line basis of $30,000 per year over the 6-year period. ANB's marginal income tax rate is 40%, but its average tax rate is only 31.5%.

To do so, the firm must acquire a machine costing $200,000. The machine can be leased or purchased. The firm is in the 27% tax bracket, and its after-tax cost of debt is 9%. The terms of the lease and purchase plans are as follows: Lease The leasing arrangement requires end-of-year payments of $59,000 over five years. All maintenance costs will be paid by the lessor; insurance and other costs will be borne by the lessee. The lessee will exercise its option to purchase the asset for $20,000 at termination of the lease. Ignore any future tax benefit associated with the purchase of the equipment at the end of year 5 under the lease option. Purchase If the firm purchases the machine, its cost of $200,000 will be financed with a five-year, 17% loan requiring equal end-of-year payments of $62,513. The machine will be depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. (See LOADING... for the applicable depreciation percentages.)…arrow_forward
- Based on last year’s Statement of Comprehensive Income, the company’s marginal tax rate was 35%. Before making the decision to buy or lease, Richard would like to carefully weigh the pros and cons of leasing versus borrowing and buying. However, the decision must be made soon, as the old refrigeration units are “on their last legs”! Questions: Explain the tax effects on the cash flows relevant to the lease versus buy decision. What is the correct discount rate to use in calculating the present value of the relevant cash flows in a lease versus buy decision? Explain.
