Kohers Inc. is considering a leasing arrangement to finance some
manufacturing tools that it needs for the next 3 years. The tools will be
obsolete and worthless after 3 years. The firm has the option to buy these
tools. The firm will depreciate the cost of the tools on a straight-line
basis over their 3-year life. It can borrow $4,800,000, the purchase price,
at interest rate of 10% and buy the tools. The loan payments would be made at
the end of each year. If it decides to lease or it can make 3 equal
end-of-year lease payments of $2,100,000 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 40%. The Total Cash Outflows
from the Cost of Purchase are the following: (Year 1)+208; (Year 2) +208;
(Year 3) -4,592; all occurring at the end of respective years. Calculate the
leasing cash outflows, and compare the Present Values. What is the net
advantage to leasing (NAL), in thousands? (Suggestion: Delete 3 zeros from
dollars and work in thousands.)
