Question: You are interested in getting a new Lexus and the dealer is willing to sell it to you for $35,000.
At the end of 4 years, you will sell the car at a value of $20,000.
Alternatively, you can lease it for $5,000 down and $450 per month ($5,400 per year).
The analysis should be done based on years not months.
Scenario 1: The funds used to either lease or buy are in an account earning 5% per year. What should you do? Buy or Lease?
Scenario 2: What if we change the scenario so that your opportunity cost of capital is 15%? What should you do? Buy or Lease?
There are 4 cases in total (Scenario 1 Buy, Scenario 1 Lease, Scenario 2 Buy, Scenario 2 Lease).
In each of the 2 scenarios, in the file, choose BUY or LEASE.
