Differential Analysis for a Lease or Buy Decision Sloan Corporation is considering new equipment. The equipment can be purchased

from an overseas supplier for $125,500. The freight and installation costs for the equipment are $1,600. If purchased, annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $2,500 per year over the five-year useful life of the equipment. Alternatively, Sloan can lease the equipment from a domestic supplier for $30,000 per year for five years, with no additional costs. Prepare a differential analysis dated December 3 to determine whether Sloan should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the equipment. Hint: This is a "lease or buy" decision, which must be analyzed from the perspective of the equipment user, as opposed to the equipment owner. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.

Answer:

Alternative 2 (purchase equipment) should be selected because it reduces costs by $10,400.

Explanation:

Alternative 1 (lease):

less price per year $30,000 x 5 years = $150,000

Alternative 2 (purchase):

initial investment = $125,500 + $1,600 = $127,100

maintenance cost per year = $2,500 x 5 years = $12,500

lara [203]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

from the CAPM formula we can derive the statemeent as true.

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.05

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.07

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 0

Ke= 0.05 + 0 (0.07)

Ke 0.05000

As the beta multiplies the difference between the market rate and risk-free rate a beta of zero will nulify the second part of the equation leaving only the risk-free rate. This means the portfolio is not expose to volatility

What will you use for banca/boat to move​
Serggg [28]

Answer:

a paddle

Explanation:

Using a "paddle" is very important in order to move/propel a boat. Paddling creates a force which goes against the water. This force is faced by an <u>opposite force</u> that is<em> equal </em>and that which<em> allows the boat to move forward</em>.

So as you push the water asides, the boat accelerates. Such technique is deemed efficient when using the boat. Not following the proper technique will not move the boat.
