Chapter 8 — Lease Financing
PROBLEM 2
Big Sky Hospital plans to obtain a new MRI that costs $1.5 million and has an estimated four-year useful
life. It can obtain a bank loan for the entire amount and buy the MRI, or it can obtain a guideline lease for
the equipment. Assume that the following facts apply to the decision:
– The MRI falls into the three-year class for tax depreciation, so the MACRS allowances are 0.33, 0.45,
0.15, and 0.07 in Years 1 through 4, respectively.
– Estimated maintenance expenses are $75,000 payable at the beginning of each year whether the MRI is
leased or purchased.
– Big Sky’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
– The bank loan would have an interest rate of 15 percent.
– If leased, the lease payments would be $400,000 payable at the end of each of the next four years.
– The estimated residual (and salvage) value is $250,000.
a. What are the NAL and IRR of the lease? Interpret each value.
b. Assume now that the salvage value estimate is $300,000, but all other facts remain the same. What is
the new NAL? The new IRR?

PROBLEM 8
Walton Nursing Home (WNH) is evaluating a guideline lease agreement on laundry equipment that
costs $250,000 and falls into the MACRS three-year class. The home can borrow at an 8 percent rate
on a four-year loan if WHN decided to borrow and buy rather than lease. The laundry equipment has a
four-year economic life, and its estimated residual value is $50,000 at the end of Year 4. If WHN buys
the equipment, it would purchase a maintenance contract which costs $5,000 per year, payable at
the beginning of each year. The lease terms, which include maintenance, call for a $71,000 lease
payment at the beginning of each year. WNH’s tax rate is 40 percent. Should the home lease or buy?
