Orwell Futures has decided to acquire a travelling machine. Its cost is $75,000. In five years it can be salvaged for $25,000. Friendly Loansharks has agreed to advance funds for the entire purchase price at 9 percent per annum payable in equal instalments at the end of each year over the five years. |
As an alternative, the machine could be leased over the five years from the manufacturer, Ageless Ventures, with annual lease payments of $15,800 payable at the beginning of each year. |
Orwell Futures’ tax rate is 25 percent. Its cost of capital is 15 percent, and its tax shields are realized at the end of the year. Travelling machines have a CCA rate of 30 percent. If the machine is owned, annual maintenance costs will be $750. |
