The firm can borrow at a rate of 6 the corporate tax rate


Hatwick Technology is considering leasing a new equipment. The lease lasts for 5 years. The lease calls for 5 payments of $10,200 per year with the first payment occurring immediately. The equipment would cost $44,000 to buy and would be straight-line depreciated to a zero salvage value over 5 years. The actual salvage value is negligible because of technological obsolescence. The firm can borrow at a rate of 6%. The corporate tax rate is 34%. What is the NPV of the lease relative to the purchase?
