Chapter 21: Leasing
21.1 a. Leasing can reduce uncertainty regarding the resale value of the asset that isleased.
b. Leasing does not provide 100% financing although it may look as though it does.Since firms must try to maintain their optimal debt ratio, the use of lease simplydisplaces debt. Thus, leasing does not provide 100% financing.
c. Although it is true that leasing displaces debt, empirical studies show that thecompanies that do a large amount of leasing also have a high debt-to-equity ratios.
d. If the tax advantages of leasing were eliminated, leasing would probably disappear.The main reason for the existence of long-term leasing is the differential in the taxrates paid by the lessee and the lessor.
21.2 a. NPV (lease) = $250,000 - L5
08.0
= $250,000 - 3.9927 L= $0
L = $62,614.11The lease payment is Quartza reservation price.
b. Depreciation = $250,000 / 5= $50,000 per annum
Depreciation tax shield
= $50,000 0.35= $17,500
After-tax discount rate
= 0.08 (1 - 0.35)= 0.052
NPV (lease) = -$250,000 + L (1 - 0.35)5
052.0 + $17,5005
052.0
= $0L = $62,405.09This lease payment is New Leasing Cos reservation price.
c. If the lease price is greater than Quartzs reservation price, the lease is a negativeNPV proposal for Quartz. Quartz would rather purchase the equipment than leaseat a payment above its reservation price. Thus, the lessees reservation price is themaximum of the negotiation range.

21.3 Incremental cash flows from leasing instead of purchasing:
Lease minus Buy Year 0 Year 1 - 5Lease
Lease payment -$94,200Tax benefit of lease payment $32,970
Buy (minus)Cost of machine -(-$350,000)Lost depreciation tax benefit -$350,000/5 0.35

Total $350,000 -$85,730
NPV = $350,000 - $85,730( )

24.4 Maxwells reservation price:
NPV (lease) = $200,000 - L5
10.0
= $200,000 - 3.7908 L= $0
L = $52,759.50Mercers reservation price:
Depreciation = $200,000 / 5= $40,000 per annum
Depreciation tax shield= $40,000 0.35= $14,000
After-tax discount rate= 0.10 (1 - 0.35)= 0.065
NPV (lease) = -$200,000 + L (1 - 0.35)5
065.0 + $14,0005
065.0
= $0L = $52,502.94
Therefore, the negotiation range is from $52,502.94 to $52,759.50.
21.5 Reservation payment of Raymond:Value of lease = $100,000 - 0.75 L ( )
575.008.0 = $0
L = $31,652.85Reservation payment of Liberty:
Value of lease = -$100,000+L = $24,962.04
Therefore, the negotiation range is from $24,962.04 to $31,652.85. For lease paymentshigher than $31,652.85, Raymond will not enter into the arrangement. For lease paymentslower than $24,962.04, Liberty will not enter into the arrangement.

Answers to End-of-Chapter Problems B-189
21.6 a. The lease payment, which makes both parties equally well off, is the payment,which equates the NPVs for the firms. Since the tax rates of the two firms areequal, the perspective of the lessor is the opposite of the perspective of the lessee.
This condition ensures that the NPV is zero.After-tax cash flows to the lessor
= L (1 - 0.34) + Depreciation (0.34)Depreciation = $86.87 / 2 = $43.435The NPV is zero when the NPV of the lessors after-tax cash flows equals the costof the asset. The appropriate discount rate is the after-tax rate. That rate is 6.6% [=
10% 0.66].
$86.87 = [0.66 L + $43.435 (0.34)]2
066.0
$86.87 = [0.66 L + $43.435 (0.34)] (1.8181)L = $50.02
b. Generalize the result from part a.
Let T1 denote the lessors tax rate.Let T2 denote the lessees tax rate.Let P denote the purchase price of the asset.Let Dep equal the annual depreciation expense.Let N denote the length of the lease in years.
Value to the lessor = +

The values of the lease to its two parties will be opposite in sign only if T1 = T2.c. Since the lessors tax bracket is unchanged, the lease has a zero NPV to the lessor
when the lease payment is $50.02.If the lessee pays no taxes, the pre-tax and after-tax lease payment are the same.Also, one of the lessees cash flows is the depreciation that is foregone when leasingis chosen over purchasing. If the lessees tax rate is zero, it will not benefit fromdepreciation. Thus, if the lessee chooses leasing, the lost depreciation is no longer acash flow. The lease has a zero NPV to the lessee when L = $50.05.
L2
10.0 = $86.87
L = $86.87 / 1.7355= $50.05
If L > $50.05 the NPV to the lessee is < $0.
If L < $50.05 the NPV to the lessee is > $0.If L > $50.05 the NPV to the lessor is > $0.If L < $50.05 the NPV to the lessor is < $0.
Both parties have positive NPV for $50.02 < L < $50.05.
21.7 a. Assume that 10% is the market-wide interest rate. The decision to buy or lease ismade by looking at the incremental cash flows.

NPV of the incremental cash flows:
The cash flows must be discounted at the after tax rate which is 6.6% [= 10% 0.66].
NPV = $15,000 - $4,3865
066.0
= $15,000 - $4,386 (4.1445)= -$3,177.78
Since the NPV of the lease-vs.-buy incremental cash flows is negative, Farmershould buy, not lease the equipment.
b. As long as the company maintains its target debt-equity ratio, the answer does notdepend upon the form of financing used for the direct purchase. A financial leasewill displace debt regardless of the form of financing.
c. The amount of displaced debt is the PV of the incremental cash flows from year onethrough five.
PV = $4,386 (4.1445) = $18,177.78

Therefore, Wolfson should lease the machine.b. Wolfson is indifferent at the lease payment which makes the NPV of the incremental
cash flows zero.
NPV = $0= $3,000,000 - (0.65 L + $350,000)
