23 Jul WHAT EFFECT WOULD THIS REQUIREMENT HAVE ON THE BASIC ANALYSIS?
As part of its overall plant modernization and cost reduction program the manage Show more Lease analysis As part of its overall plant modernization and cost reduction program the management of Tanner-Woods Textile Mills has decided to install a new automated weaving loom. In the capital budgeting analysis of this equipment the IRR of the project was found to be 20% versus a project required return of 12%. The loom has an invoice price of $250000 including delivery and installation charges. The funds needed could be borrowed from the bank through a 4-year amortized loan at a 10% interest rate with payments to be made at the end of each year. In the event that the loom is purchased the manufacturer will contract to maintain and service it for a fee of $20000 per year paid at the end of each year. The loom falls in the MACRS 5-year class and Tanner-Woodss marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. The applicable MACRS rates are 20% 32% 19% 12% 11% and 6%. United Automation Inc. maker of the loom has offered to lease the loom to Tanner-Woods for $70000 upon delivery and installation (at t = 0) plus 4 additional annual lease payments of $70000 to be made at the end of Years 1 through 4. (Note that there are 5 lease payments in total.) The lease agreement includes maintenance and servicing. Actually the loom has an expected life of 8 years at which time its expected salvage value is zero; however after 4 years its market value is expected to equal its book value of $42500. Tanner-Woods plans to build an entirely new plant in 4 years so it has no interest in either leasing or owning the proposed loom for more than that period. a. Should the loom be leased or purchased? -Select-shoud be leasedshould be purchasedItem 1 b. The salvage value is clearly the most uncertain cash flow in the analysis. Assume that the appropriate salvage value pre-tax discount rate is 15%. Should the loom in this case be leased or purchased? -Select-shoud be leasedshould be purchasedItem 2 c. The original analysis assumed that Tanner-Woods would not need the loom after 4 years. Now assume that the firm will continue to use it after the lease expires. Thus if it leased Tanner-Woods would have to buy the asset after 4 years at the then existing market value which is assumed to equal the book value. What effect would this requirement have on the basic analysis? -Select-Tanner-Woods shoud lease the loom whether differential salvage value risk is considered or not.Tanner-Woods shoud purchase the loom whether differential salvage value risk is considered or not.The decision would remain the same.Item 3 Show less
