Solution
Chapter: 19
Problem: 6
Invoice Price $250,000
Length of loan 4
Loan Interest rate 10%
Maintenance fee $20,000
First, we can determine the annual loan payment that must be made on the new equipment. We will do so using the
function wizard for PMT.
Annual loan payment = $78,868
As part of its overall plant modernization and cost reduction program, Western Fabrics’ management has decided to
install a new automated weaving loom. In the capital budgeting analysis of this equipment, the IRR of the project was
found to be 20% versus the project’s required return of 12%.
The loom has an invoice price of $250,000, including delivery and installation charges. The funds needed could be
borrowed from the bank through a 4-year amortized loan at a 10% interest rate, with payments to be made at the end of
each year. In the event that the loom is purchased, the manufacturer will contract to maintain and service it for a fee of
installation (at t=0) plus 4 additional annual lease payments of $70,000 to be made at the ends of Years 1 through 4.
(Note that there are 5 lease payments in total.) The lease agreement includes maintenance and servicing. Actually, the
loom has an expected life of eight years, at which time its expected salvage value is zero; however, after 4 years, its
market value is expected to equal its book value of $42,500. Tanner-Woods plans to build and entirely new plant in 4
years, so it has no interest in either leasing or owning the proposed loom for more than that period.

Now, we see that the decision being made is whether to purchase the equipment at a net cost of $250,000 (with annual
payments of $78,868) or lease the equipment and make annual payments of $70,000. To make this decision, we must
analyze the incremental cash flows.

payment would the firm be indifferent to either leasing or buying?
b. The salvage value is clearly the most uncertain cash flow in the analysis. Assume that the appropriate salvage

decision?
