Scana Corporation is considering leasing a new equipment. The lease lasts for 5 years. The lease calls for 5 payments of $34,000 per year with the first payment occurring immediately. The equipment would cost $126,000 to buy and would be straight-line depreciated to a zero salvage value over 5 years. The actual salvage value is negligible because of technological obsolescence.
