First we need to calculate the monthly discount rate for the lease arrangement (EAR):

EAR = (1 + APR / k)^k - 1

= (1 + .06 / 4)^4 – 1

<span> = .06136 or 6 .14% </span>

Monthly rate = (1 + EAR)^(1/12) – 1

= (1.06136)^(1/12) - 1

= .004975 = 0.4975%

Now we can apply the formula for the PV of a constant annuity:

I = .4975

N = 60 = (5 years × 12 months/yr)

FV = 0

PMT = $4000 (lease payment)

Compute PV = 207,051.61

<span>Answer:  Therefore you should purchase the new delivery truck.</span>

Calculating the fixed cost:

= (105,000 \times 0.114) - (105,000 \times 0.074) \\\\ = (11,970) - (7,770) \\\\=4,200
