Required information
A land development company is considering the purchase of earth-moving equipment. This equipment will have an
estimated first cost of $163,000, a salvage value of $55,000, a life of 10 years, a maintenance cost of $32,000 per year,
and an operating cost of $220 per day. Alternatively, the company can rent the necessary equipment for $1010 per day
and hire a driver at $180 per day.
When approached to rent for the breakeven number of days, the equipment owner indicated that the minimum rental is for 100 days
per year; however, he might consider a lower daily rental cost. What is the daily rental cost to justify renting over purchasing? If the
equipment was purchased, assume it would be used for the breakeven number of days. Determine the required rental cost per day.
The daily rental cost to justify renting over purchasing is determined to be $
You have an opportunity to acquire a property from First Capital Bank. The bank recently obtained the property from a borrower who
defaulted on his loan. First Capital is offering the property for $218,000. If you buy the property, you believe that you will have to spend
(1) $10,800 on various acquisition-related expenses and (2) an average of $2,300 per month during the next 12 months for repair costs,
and so on, in order to prepare it for sale. Because First Capital Bank would like to sell the property as soon as possible, it is willing to
provide $198,000 in financing at 4.25 percent interest for 12 months payable monthly (interest only). Your market research indicates
that after you repair the property, it may sell for about $248,000 at the end of one year. Furthermore, you will probably have to pay
about $3,300 in fees and selling expenses in order to sell the property at that time.
