Sandia inc wants to acquire a 360000 computer controlled


Sandia, Inc. wants to acquire a $360,000 computer controlled printing press. if owned the press would be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years to a book salvage of $0. The actual cash salvage value is expected to be $25,000 at the end of ten years. If purchased, Sandia will incur annual maintenance expenses of $3,000. These expenses would not be incurred if the press is leased. If the press is purchased, Sandia could borrow the needed funds at an annual pre-tax interest rate of 10%. The lease rate would be $48,000 per year, payable at the beginning of the year. If Sandia has an after-tax cost of capital of 12% and a marginal tax rate of 40%, what is the net advantage to leasing?
