Describe the differences between leasing a piece of equipment and purchasing it outright and financing the purchase with a loan. Then, compare the lease payments to the loan payments. Next, compare the tax benefits. What are the differences at the end of the lease and the loan? Which is better for a corporation, leasing or purchasing equipment outright? Lastly, identify the factors that would impact this decision and explain your reasoning with examples.
