chapter $27)$ i

You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner $($leasing is a very common practice with expensive, high$-$tech equipment$).$ The scanner costs $$6,300,000,$ and it would be depreciated straight$-$line to zero over five years. Because of radiation contamination, it actually will be completely valueless in five years. You can lease it for $$1,530,000$ per year for five years. Assume that the tax rate is $23$ percent. You can borrow at $7$ percent before taxes. What is the NAL of the lease? $($Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.)$
