Question: 8 - 2 5 A new 1 0 , 0 0 0 - square - meter warehouse next door to the Tyre Corporation is for

8-25 A new 10,000-square-meter warehouse next door to
the Tyre Corporation is for sale for $450,000. The
terms offered are $100,000 down with the balance
being paid in 60 equal monthly payments based
on 15% interest. It is estimated that the warehouse
would have a resale value of $600,000 at the end of
5 years.
Tyre has the cash and could buy the warehouse
but does not need all the warehouse space at this time.
The Johnson Company has offered to lease half the
new warehouse for $2500 a month.
Tyre presently rents and uses 7000 square
meters of warehouse space for $2700 a month.
It has the option of reducing the rented space to
2000 square meters, in which case the monthly rent
would be $1000 a month. Furthermore, Tyre could
cease renting warehouse space entirely. Tom Clay,
the Tyre Corp. plant engineer, is considering three
alternatives:
1. Buy the new warehouse and lease half the space
to the Johnson Company. In turn, the Tyre-rented
space would be reduced to 2000 square meters.
2. Buy the new warehouse and cease renting any
warehouse space.
3. Continue as is, with 7000 square meters of rented
warehouse space.
Construct a choice table for interest rates from 0% to
100%.
