Please explain each step! I think I know how to do the first one but after that I am lost. Thank you!

The S Company is considering the acquisition of a new processor used in its operation. The processor has an installed cost of $53,000 and is expected to have a useful life of 5 years. If purchased, the firmwould borrow the entire $53,000 at an interest rate of 8%. The processor would be depreciated over a 5 year ACRS life to a zero book value, but it is estimated that it could be sold for $8,000 after 5 years. A capital budgeting analysis indicates that purchase of the processor has a positive NPV. Alternatively, S Company can lease the processor for the 5 year period for an annual lease payment of $13,500. If the processor is leased, annual operating expenses of $2,200 will be paid by the lessor. If the equipment is purchased, the firm will incur this expense. S Company's cost of capital is 12% and its marginal tax rate is 35%.

  • $9,007
  • $10,301

  • $42,463
