Am I doing this right?


SHOW YOUR WORK FOR FULL CREDIT Use the following information on the various borrowing and leasing alternatives for an item that is commonly acquired for a business. Calculate the Net Present Value for each method of acquiring this item to determine which would be best. In each case, assume an increase in the firm's annual income of $85,000 if this item is acquired. (You can analyze your options by using the new income in your calculation if you choose, but the correct choice can be determined without using this information.) Use a Discount rate =10% when making your analysis. Assume tax rate of 28% with all options.
