Question - Cedar Hill Hospital needs to expand its facilities and desires to obtain a new building on a piece of property adjacent to its present location. Two options are available to Cedar Hill, as follows:

Option 1: Buy the property, erect the building, and install the fixtures at a total cost of $600,000. This cost would be paid off in five installments: an immediate payment of $200,000, and a payment of $100,000 at the end of each of the next four years. The annual cash operating costs associated with the new facilities are estimated to be $12,000 per year. The new facilities would be occupied for thirteen years, and would have a total resale value of $300,000 at the end of the 13-year period.

Option 2: A leasing company would buy the property and construct the new facilities for Cedar Hill which would then be leased back to Cedar Hill at an annual lease cost of $70,000. The lease period would run for 13 years, with each payment being due at the BEGINNING of the year. Additionally, the company would require an immediate $10,000 security deposit, which would be returned to Cedar Hill at the end of the 13-year period. Finally, Cedar Hill would have to pay the annual maintenance cost of the facilities, which is estimated to be $4,000 per year. There would be no resale value at the end of the 13-year period under this option.

The hospital uses a discount rate of 14% and the total-cost approach to net present value analysis in evaluating its investment decisions.
