  1. Lease Analysis • A contract between two parties called lessor and lessee, whereby lessee gets the right to use an asset provided by the lessor in return of periodic financial payments, called lease payments. • Types: • Operating Leases • Financial Leases/Capital lease.

  2. Reasons for Leasing • Short-term leases are convenient • Cancellation options are valuable • Tax shields can be used • Avoiding the alternative minimum tax • Leasing avoids capital expenditure controls • Leasing preserves capital • Leasing effects book income

  3. Example Lease or Buy Decision • Q: Company ABC wants to buy a machine that costs $ 80,000 with expected life of 5 years. ABC tax rate is 30% and the cost of borrowing is 12%. ABC can also enter a lease contract to acquire the machine. Under lease arrangement ABC will have to pay Rs. 20,000 as lease payments each year for next 5 years. Determine whether ABC should buy or lease the machine. ABC assumes no salvage value.

  4. procedure • Steps involved in Lease Analysis. • Determine PV of ATCO under lease option, (i.e. cost of lease option). • Determine PV of ATCO net of tax savings on interest and deprecation expenses under borrow and buy (B&B) option, (i.e. cost of B&B option). 3. Compare the costs under both options and select whichever is lower.

  5. Step 1: Evaluate lease option. • Calculations: • After-tax lease payments = Before-tax lease payment x (1 – tax rate) • After-tax rate of interest = Before-tax rate of interest x (1 – tax rate) • Note: Net ATCO under lease option is $55,313. Now calculate net ATCO under Borrow and Buy Option and compare it with $55,313. Select an option with lower net ATCO.

  6. Step 2: B&B Evaluation Prepare Loan Amortization Schedule to calculate annual Interest expense for each year, This is required to determine tax savings on interest expense. Calculation:

  7. Calculate Net ATCO net of savings on interest and depreciation expenses, and determine PV of these CO. The sum of these cashflows is total cost under B&B option. • Calculations: • Tax saving on depreciation = Annual Depreciation Expense x tax rate • Tax savings on interest expenses = Annual Interest Expense x tax rate
