Company C is considering a leasing arrangement for an asset that has no value after its use for 3 years. It can borrow the value of the asset, at a 3-year simple interest loan of 10% with payments at the end of the year and buy the asset, or the company can make 3 equal end-of-year lease payments of $2,100,000 each and lease them. Annual maintenance costs associated with ownership are estimated at $240,000, but this cost would be borne by the lessor if it leases. What is the net advantage to leasing (NAL), if the firm's tax rate is 25%? (round to the nearest integer) (The Depreciation rate is 33.33% for Year 1, 33.33% for Year 2, and 33.33% for Year 3. The value of the asset $4,800,000)

Paragon Leasing has been approached by Mid-America Trucking Company (MATC) to provide lease financing for a fleet of new tractors. Each tractor will cost $140,000 and will be leased by MATC for 7 years with lease payments made at the beginning of each year. Paragon will depreciate the tractors on a straight-line basis to $0 but the actual market value at the end of 7 years is estimated to be $25,000.

Some equipment is needed for a construction project. It can be leased for $150,000 annually, or it can be purchased for $900,000 at the beginning and sold for $225,000 at the end of 3 years. What is the rate of return for owning the equipment rather than leasing it?
Carolina Trucking Company (CTC) is evaluating a potential lease agreement on a truck that costs $40,000 and falls into the MACRS 3-year class. The applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 0.33, 0.45, 0.15, and 0.07. The loan rate would be 10 percent, if CTC decided to borrow money and buy the asset rather than lease it. The truck has a 4-year economic life, and its estimated residual value is $10,000. If CTC buys the truck, it would purchase a maintenance contract that costs $1,000 per year, payable at the end of each year. The lease terms, which include maintenance, call for a $10,000 lease payment at the beginning of each year. CTC’s tax rate is 40 percent. Should the firm lease or buy?
