1. A firm can lease a truck for 4 years at a cost of $30,000 annually. It can instead buy a truck at a cost of $80,000, with annual maintenance expenses of $10,000. The truck will be sold at the end of 4 years for $20,000. Calculate the equivalent annual annuity to show the better option if the discount rate is 10%.

The lease option is the better option.

Explanation:

We proceed as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of Lease Option NPV    

Year = n         Details             CF ($)     DF = 1/(1.1)^n   PV ($)

     1     Lease payment   (30,000)        0.9091         (27,273)

    2     Lease payment   (30,000)        0.8264         (24,793)

    3     Lease payment   (30,000)         0.7513         (22,539)

    4     Lease payment   (30,000)         0.6830         (20,490)

                                      Lease option NPV = (95,096)

Step 1: Calculation of Lease Option NPV Buy Option NPV      

Year = n        Details                  CF (CO)     DF = 1/(1.1)^n      PV  

     0  Purchase cost                  (80,000)       1.0000   (80,000)

     1   Maintenance expenses   (10,000)       0.9091      (9,091)

    2   Maintenance expenses   (10,000)       0.8264     (8,264)

    3   Maintenance expenses   (10,000)        0.7513      (7,513)

    4   Maintenance expenses   (10,000)       0.6830     (6,830)

    4   Residual value                   20,000        0.6830      13,660  

                                                     Buy option NPV = (98,038)

Step 3: Calculation of equivalent annual annuity (EAA)

The equivalent annual annuity (EAA) for each option can be calculated as follows:

EAA = (r x NPV) / (1 - (1 + r)^-n )

Where:

EAA = equivalent annuity cash flow

NPV = net present value

r = discount rate per period

n = number of periods

Therefore, we have:

Lease option EAA = (0.1 × -95,096) / (1 - (1 + 0.1)^-4)  = -30,000

Buy option EAA = (0.1 × 98,038) / (1 - (1 + 0.1)^-4)  = -30,928

Since the lease option has a lower EAA of $30,000 in terms of cash outlay than the buy option of higher EAA of $30,928 in terms of cash outlay, the lease option is the better option.

Option 1 is preffered option because:

EAC of Instalment option = $30,000

EAC of Buying option = $37,660

Explanation:

The Equivalent Annual Cost would be calculated using the following formula:

Equivalent Annual Cost = Net Present Value of option / Annuity Factor

Now we will have to find the present value of the each option available.

Option 1

So present value of the installment option is given as under:

Present Value = Annual Cash flow * Annuity Factor

Here the annuity factor can be found from the following formula:

Annuity Factor = (1-(1+r)^-n ) / r

By putting the values we have:

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1.1)^-n) / 10% = 2.487

Present Value = $30000 * 2.487 = $74610

This implies

Equivalent Annual Cost = $74610 / 2.487 = $30000

Option 2

Present Value = $80000 Initial cash outflow +

$20000 cash inflow at Y4 / (1.1)^4 Discount factor at Year 4

Present Value = $80,000 + $20,000 / 1.4641

Present Value = $80,000 + $13,660 = $93,660

And

EAC = $93660 / 2.487 at 10% for 4 Years = $37,660

Decision Rule:

The cheapest option is the one with least value and in this case the cheapest option is option 1.

there is no possible way mgk stands a chance with the greatest white rapper of all time. eminem killshots had more bars than rap devil and the reason mgk is doing all this is cause he not getting attention anymore til the release of rap devil and the disses he is putting on eminem. now rap devil was more fire than killshot so mgk might won the battle with rap devil but eminem won the war with killshot.
