Answer: If you lease the computer system, the annual interest
rate would be 7.08%, which is less than that of the
interest rate on a two-year loan, so it would be more
cost-effective to lease a computer system than to
purchase one.
Calculating the present value of a lease with
trade-in value
Your client wishes to buy a machine currently leased from your
company. On a fi ve-year lease with payments of $200 at the
beginning of each month, the machine has a trade-in value of
$1,500 with 34 monthly payments remaining. If your company
sells the machine at the present value of the lease, discounted
at an annual interest rate of 18%, compounded monthly, how
much should your company charge for the machine?
