Answer:

$4,200

Explanation:

Cost of equipment = $52,000

Life of equipment = 3 years

Depreciation through straight line method = 52,000/3 = $17,333

Tax rate = 33%

Pretax cost of debt = 10%

Lease amount of equipment = $18,500

After tax cost of debt = 10%*(1-0.33)

After tax cost of debt = 10%*(0.67)

After tax cost of debt = 0.067

After tax cost of debt = 6.7%

After tax lease payment amount = 18,500*(1-0.33)

After tax lease payment amount = 18,500*0.67

After tax lease payment amount = 12,395

Present Value of 3 lease payment = 12,395/(1+0.067) + 12,395/(1+0.067)^2 + 12,395/(1+0.067)^3

Present Value of 3 lease payment = 12395/1.067 + 12395/1.1385 + 12395/1.2148

Present Value of 3 lease payment = 11616.68 + 10887.13 + 10203.33

Present Value of 3 lease payment = $32,707.14

Present Value of cost involved in purchasing the equipment is $52,000, however there will be a tax shield from depreciation therefore, this amount would reduce the company's cost.

Annual depreciation tax shield = 17,333*0.33 = $5719.89. There will be tax shield on depreciation for 3 years. Therefore, present value of $5719.89 is calculated for three years:

= $5719.89/(1+0.067) + $5719.89/(1+0.067)^2 + $5719.89/(1+0.067)^3

= $5719.89/1.067 + $5719.89/1.1385 + $5719.89/1.2148

= $5360.72 + $5024.06 + $4708.50

= $15,093.28

Present Value of the cost of buying the equipment = $52,000 - $15,093.28 = $36,906.72

Net Advantage Leasing = Present Value of the cost of buying the equipment - Present Value of 3 lease payment

Net Advantage Leasing = $36,906.72 - $32,707.14

Net Advantage Leasing = $4,199.58

Net Advantage Leasing = $4,200.

wolverine [178]

Answer: lead to a shortage cause quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied of rental housing.

Explanation: A price ceiling is a government regulated price control that sets the legal maximum price that can be charged for a good. The price ceiling is binding when it is set below the equilibrium price. In this situation, the price ceiling prevents the forces of demand and supply to intersect at the equilibrium price. At the ceiling price, demand for the good is greater than its supply. Thus, an effective price ceiling which is set below the equilibrium price creates a shortage in the market.
