Problem
CBC can either purchase the machine for $225,000 or lease it from TVLease for 12 annual lease payments (paid at the beginning of the year) of $26,000. The machine has CCA rate of 30%. The salvage value is expected to be $12,500. CBC does not have any other asset in the asset class and TVLease always has a positive UCC in the asset class. CBC and TVLease have cost of debt of 9% and 5%% respectively. TVLease pays the statutory corporate tax rate of 25% and CBC only pays 15%.
Task
1. Calculate the NPV of leasing for CBC and TVLease
2. What are the minimum and maximum annual lease payments that make leasing acceptable to both?
