10.30 The Jacob Company needs to acquire a new lift truck for transporting its final product to the warehouse. One alternative is to purchase the truck| for $45,000, which will be financed by the bank at an interest rate of 12%. The loan must be repaid in four equal installments, payable at the end of each year. Under the borrow-to-purchase arrangement, Jacob| would have to maintain the truck at an annual cost of $1,200, also payable at year-end. Alternatively, Jacob| could lease the truck under a four-year contract for a lease payment of $12,000 per year. Each annual lease payment must be made at the beginning of each year. The truck would be maintained by the lessor. The truck falls into the five-year MACRS classification, and it has a salvage value of $10,000, which is the expected market value after four years, at which time Jacob plans to replace the truck, irrespective of whether it leases or buys. Jacob has a marginal tax rate of 40% and a MARR of 15%. (a) What is Jacob's cost of leasing in present worth? (b) What is Jacob's cost of owning in present Worth? (C) Should the truck be leased or purchased? Note: This is an operating lease, so the truck would be maintained by the lessor
