Solutions

Expert Solution

(1.1) Let's evaluate both options:

Assumption:

Purchase Option: Book value of machine after 4 years is more than the resale value (15%), so no tax liability arises.

Lease Option: Machine is not bought by Lessee after lease period, so tax liability doesn't rise in this case as well.

(1.) Purchase Option:

	CF0	CF1	CF2	CF3	CF4
Initial Cost	-600000	-	-	-	-
Annual Software	-	-10000	-10000	-10000	-10000
Maintenance		-5000	-5000	-9000	-20000
Resale Value (15% of Cash Value)		-	-	-	+90000
Total Cash Flow	-600000	-15000	-15000	-19000	+60000
PV of Cash Flow (Discount rate of 7%)	-600000	-14019	-13102	-15510	53309
PV of total cost	-589322

(2.) Lease Option:

	CF0	CF1	CF2	CF3	CF4
Deposit	-80000	-	-	-	-
Annual Lease Payment	-	-120000	-120000	-120000	-120000
Refund of Deposit	-	-	-	-	+80000
Total Cash Flow	-80000	-120000	-120000	-120000	-40000
PV of CF	-80000	-112150	-104813	-97956	-35540
PV of total cost	-430457

(1.2)

Since lease option costs less as compared to Purchase option, I'll recommend for the lease option.
