April plans to lease a machine for her photography business. She can lease an RX90 Scanner for $3,500 per year for 4 years as well as pay a onetime $650 initial set up fee. April can also lease a PA36 scanner for $4,200 per year for 3 years as well as pay a onetime inital set up fee of $350. Because april's business is a non-profit business, she does not pay taxes. If April's required return is 10% and she will need to replace either machine when the respective lease ends, which machine should she choose?
Scanner Type | Setup Cost | PVIFA | Setup Cost | Annual Lease | Total Annualised Cost |
RX90 Scanner | 650 | 3.1699 | 205.06 | 3,500 | 3,705 |
PA36 scanner | 350 | 2.4869 | 140.74 | 4,200 | 4,341 |
Since annualised cost of RX90 Scanner is lower as compared to PA36 Scanner, April should choose RX90 Scanner.
