Consider the rental rate of capital for an appliance rental company such as Rent-A-Center. Suppose Rent-A-Center buys televisions at the market price
(P) of $3,500 each and rents them out to customers. The company faces an interest rate (r) of 15% per year, and televisions depreciate at 15% per
year.
Fill in the following table with the interest cost per year and the loss due to wear and tear for each television per year.
Borrowing cost per year
Depreciation cost
G
Cost
(Dollars per television)
Assume that firms renting televisions earn zero profit. Using the information in the previous table, the rental rate of capital, in this case, is
per year per television.

The Borstal Company has to choose between two machines that do the same job but have different lives. The two machines
have the following costs:

These costs are expressed in real terms. Suppose that technological change is expected to reduce costs by 10% per year.
There will be new machines in year 1 that cost 10% less to buy and operate than A and B. In year 2, there will be a second crop
of new machines incorporating a further 10% reduction, and so on.
Suppose you are Borstal's financial manager. If you had to buy one or the other machine and rent it to the production manager
for that machine's economic life, what annual rental payment would you have to charge at the end of the first year and how
would this alter in subsequent years given the expected technological changes? Assume a 9% real discount rate and ignore
E taxes. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your…
