Emerson Corp. is trying to decide whether to lease or purchase a piece of equipment needed for the next five years. The equipment would cost $505,000 to purchase, and maintenance costs would be $20,300 per year. After five years, Emerson estimates it could sell the equipment for $100,500. If Emerson leases the equipment, it would pay $151,900 each year, which would include all maintenance costs. Emerson’s hurdle rate is 15%. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Use appropriate factor from the PV tables.) a. What is the net present value of the cost of purchasing the equipment?
