Furman Industries is negotiating a lease on a new piece of equipment that would cost $100,000 if purchased. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be used for 3 years and then sold, because Furman plans to move to a new facility at that time. The applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 0.33, 0.45, 0.15, and 0.07. It is estimated that the equipment could be sold for $30,000 after 3 years of use. A maintenance contract on the equipment would cost $3,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year of usage. Conversely, Furman could lease the equipment for 3 years for a lease payment of $29,000 per year, payable at the beginning of each year. The lease would include maintenance. Furman is in the 20 percent tax bracket, and it could obtain loan to purchase the equipment with 3 years non-amortization loan at a before-tax cost of 10 percent. Is it a Net Advantage to Leasing or to purchasing? what is the amount of the advantage?
