    HI Sir

    in a Lease or buy question ;

    Option 1. The vehicle could be bought using a bank loan with an after tax cost of borrowing of 4% pa

    Option 2. It could be leased for a period of 4 years. xxx
    The company’s after tax weighted average cost of capital is 8%.

    in this case what discount factor should be used? 4% or 8%. and why ?

    If deciding which is best (i.e. leasing or buying) then we should discount at 4%.

    I explain the reasons for this in my free lectures on lease v buy.
