Suppose Procter and Gamble (P&G) is considering purchasing $ 13 million in new manufacturing equipment. If it purchases the equipment, it will depreciate it on a straight-line basis over the five years, after which the equipment will be worthless. It will also be responsible for maintenance expenses of $ 0.50 million per year. Alternatively, it can lease the equipment for$ 3.0 million per year for the five years, in which case the lessor will provide necessary maintenance. Assume P&G?s tax rate is 30 % and its borrowing cost is 7.5 %. a. What is the NPV associated with leasing the equipment versus financing it with the lease equivalent loan? b. What is the break-even lease rate that is, what lease amount could P&G pay each year and be indifferent between leasing and financing a purchase? (round to 4 decimals)
