Question

Finance

You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $4.3 million and would be depreciated straight-line to zero over four years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in four years. You can lease it for $1.275 million per year for four years. Assume that the tax rate is 21 percent. You can borrow at 8 percent before taxes.

Calculate the NAL. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)

Should you lease or buy?
