Answer:

A. $45,295.419

B.Cheaper to LEASE

C.$48,919.0525

D. Cheaper to BUY

Explanation:

a. Calculation for the present value of the cost of leasing

Present value=8,700/8%*(1-1/1.08^7)

Present value=8,700/0.08*0.41650960

Present value=108,750*0.41650960

Present value=$45,295.419

Therefore the present value of the cost of leasing will be $45,295.419.

b. Based on the above calculation it cheaper to LEASE than to buy

c. Calculation for the present value of the cost of leasing if the lease payments are an annuity

Present value =8,700/8%*(1-1/1.08^7)*1.08

Present value=8,700/0.08%*(1-1/1.08^7)*1.08

Present value=8,700/0.08%*0.41650960*1.08

Present value=108,750*0.41650960*1.08

Present value=$48,919.0525

Therefore the present value of the cost of leasing if the lease payments are an annuity due will be $48,919.0525.

D. Based on the above calculation it is Cheaper to BUY than to lease.

Ksju [112]
The main difference of the two is the kind of employers who can offer the saving plans. For 403(b) saving plans, this applies to nonprofit companies, schools, government organizations, hospitals and religious groups. They are exempt of some administrative processes making it less costly compared to 401(k) savings plan. 401(k) savings plan is applied on private companies.

Here, an individual seller has no control over the price of commodities. The supply curve tells how much quantity will be produced at different prices. Therefore the market supply curve is determined by all individual sellers individual price in other to determine the overall quantity to be produced at varying market price. Prices are drawn horizontally from the y-axis to determine quantity produced at different prices for each indivudual seller which is summed to generate the market supply curve.
