Answer:
$1,241
Explanation:
For computing the net advantage to leasing first we have to determine the total cash flow from leasing and total cash flow from buying which is shown below:
For leasing:
Year Lease payment PVF at 5.8% Present value
1 $6,500 0.9452 $6,144
2 $6,500 0.8934 $5,807
3 $6,500 0.8444 $5,489
Total outflow $17,440
For buy:
Year Outflow or inflow PVF at 5.8% Present value
0 ($23,000) 1 ($23,000)
1 $1,610 0.9452 $1,522
2 $1,610 0.8934 $1,438
3 $1,610 0.8444 $1,359
Total outflow $18,681
Now the net advantage to leasing is
= Buy outflow - leasing outflow
= $18,681 - $17,440
= $1,241
