to purchase or lease the machines. The company uses 10% as its cost of capital and has the
following information:
? Purchase price of $600,000.
? Annual running costs of $45,000 for the next five years, paid annually in arrears.
? A residual value of $220,000 at the end of the five years.
The machine could be leased for five years based upon total annual costs of $135,000 paid
annually in advance.
