Please provide correct answers. thanks.
Answer:
a. Time(n) is 16 years.
Cost of the asset = $840,000
Desired Return on investment (i) is 12 %
Lease payments are payable at the beginning of the year.
Annual lease payments = Cost of the asset / [1 + PVAF (i%,
n-1)]
Annual lease payments = 840000 / [1 + PVAF(12%, 15)]
Annual Lease payments = 840000 / 7.81086
Annual Lease payments = $107,542.57
b. If the immediate benefits are to be passed
in the form of lower lease payments
Then,
Revised lease payments = (840,000 - 125,000) / [1 + PVAF(12%,
15)]
Revised lease payments = 715000 / 7.81086
Revised lease payments = $91539.22
