Dwyer Corporation is determining whether to lease or purchase new equipment. The firm is in the 38% tax bracket, and its after-tax cost of debt is currently 7%. The terms of the lease and the purchase are: Lease: Annual end-of-year lease payments of $31,500 are required over the 3-year life of the lease. All maintenance costs will be paid by the lessor; insurance and other costs will be borne by the lessee. The lessee will exercise its option to purchase the equipment for $6,000 at the termination of the lease. Purchase: The equipment, costing $77,000, can be financed entirely with a 12% loan requiring annual end-of-year payments of $32,059 for 3 years. The firm will depreciate the equipment under MACRS using a 3-year recovery period (33% in year 1, 45% in year 2, 15% in year 3 and 7% in year 4). The firm will pay $2,000 per year for a service contract that covers maintenance costs; insurance and other costs will be borne by the firm. The firm plans to keep the equipment and use it beyond its 3-year recovery period. Calculate the present value of the cash outflow for both the lease and purchasing and recommend one alternative.
