After deciding to acquire a new car, you realize you can either lease the car or purchase it with a three-year loan. The car you

want costs $32,500. The dealer has a leasing arrangement where you pay $94 today and $494 per month for the next three years. If you purchase the car, you will pay it off in monthly payments over the next three years at an APR of 6 percent. You believe that you will be able to sell the car for $20,500 in three years.a. What is the present value of purchasing the car? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16)b. What is the present value of leasing the car? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16)c. What break-even resale price in three years would make you indifferent between buying and leasing?

Answer:

a. $15,369.28

b. $16,332.28

c. $19,347.60

Explanation:

a. What is the present value of purchasing the car?

PV of resale = SP ÷ (1 + r)^n ................................................. (1)

Where SP = Resales proceed = $20,500

r = discount rate = 6% annually = 0.06 annually = (0.06 ÷ 12) monthly = 0.005 monthly

n = number of periods = 3 years = 3 × 12 = 36 months

Substituting into equation (1), we have:

PV of resale = $20,500 ÷ (1 + 0.005)^36 = $17,130.7208354753

Net PV = Purchase price - PV of resale

            = $32,500 - $17,130.7208354753

Net PV = $15,369.28

Therefore,  the present value of purchasing the car $15,369.28.

b. What is the present value of leasing the car?

PV of future period payment can be calculated using the following formula:

PV of monthly payment = M × 1 - (1 + r)^-n ÷ r .......................................... (2)

Where,

M = monthly payment = $494

r = discount rate = 6% annually = 0.06 annually = (0.06 ÷ 12) monthly = 0.005 monthly

n = number of periods = 3 years = 3 × 12 = 36 months

Substituting into equation (2), we have:

PV of monthly payment = $494 × {[1 - (1 + 0.005)^-36] ÷ 0.005}

PV of monthly payment =  $16,238.2820221969  

PV of leasing the car = Today's payment + PV of monthly payment

                                   = $94 + $16,238.2820221969

PV of leasing the car = $16,332.28

Therefore, PV of leasing the car is $16,332.28.

c. What break-even resale price in three years would make you indifferent between buying and leasing?                    

This will be calculated by equating the PV of leasing the car to the difference between the purchase price and the PV of resale as follows:

PV of leasing car = Purchase price - PV of resale

$16,332.28 = $32,500 - PV of resale

Solving for PV of resale, we have:

PV of resale = $16,167.72.

The future value (FV) of resale price in 3 years can be calculated as follows:

FV of resale = PV of resale × (1 + r)^n

FV of resale = $16,167.72 × (1 + 0.005)^36 = $19,347.60

Therefore, the break even resale price in 3 years is $19,347.60.

Erica and Brett decide to form their new motorcycle business as an LLC. Each will receive an equal profits (loss) interest by co
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

$58,500

Explanation:

The outside basis is defined as the tax basis that a partner has on the partnership. To find it, the value of all the resources contributed by the partner is taken and the debt relief and any debt assigned is subtracted. To solve this exercise, we should follow these steps:

1. Determine the contributed capital.

According to the problem statement, Brett provided cash ($ 9,500) and a building (here the value of the adjusted base, $ 39,000, is taken). Therefore, the total contributions are $48,500.

2. Calculate capital increases.

The partnership obtained a loan for $59,000, which was shared equally among the partners. Therefore, Brett received 50%, that is, $29,500.

Now, we must add the contributed capital plus capital increases:

48,500+29,500=78,000

3. Calculate mortgage debt issues.

The nonresource mortgage is 44,000, a value that exceeds the basis of the contributed property. In that case, the surplus is taxed to the contributing partner. To determine it, simply subtract the nonresource mortgage less adjusted basis of the building:

44,000-39,000=5,000

On the other hand, the remaining mortgage on the building is calculated, by dividing the value of the adjusted base of the property, in this case, 39,000 by 2, which results in 19,500.

Therefore, mortgage debt issues are equivalent to:

5,000+19,500=24,500

We add the contributed capital plus capital increases plus mortgage debt issues:

78,000+24,500=102,500

4. Subtract debts.

The partnership assumes the nonrecourse mortgage (which is computed as a debt) for 44,000. Because this component is not covered entirely by Brett, then this amount must be deducted from his individual tax base.

Therefore:

102,500-44,000=58,500

58,500 is Brett´s outside tax basis in his LLC interest.

On a balance sheet, we can see it as follows:

Particulars                                Amount in $

Cash                                                9,500

+Adjusted basis of the                39,000

building

+50% profit sharing ratio            29,500

+Nonrecourse mortgage               5,000

less adjusted basis

+Remaining mortgage on            19,500

building

TOTAL                                             102,500

-Debt on building                          (44,000)

Outside tax basis                          58,500
