Question
To finance some manufacturing tools it needs for the next 3 years, Waldrop Corporation is considering a leasing arrangement. The tools will be obsolete and worthless after 3 years. The firm will depreciate the cost of the tools on a straight-line basis over their 3-year life. It can borrow $4.900,000, the purchase price, at 8% and buy the tools, or it can make 3 equal end- of-year lease payments of $2,050,000 each and lease them. The loan obtained from the bank is a 3-year simple interest loan, with interest paid at the end of the year. The firm's tax rate is 30%. Annual maintenance costs associated with ownership are estimated at $220,000, but this cost would be borne by the lessor if it leases. What is the net advantage to leasing (NAL), in thousands? (Suggestion: Delete 3 zeros from dollars and work in thousands.) $96 O $106 O $118 O $130 O $138Explanation / Answer
