4y ago#1We use the WACC when appraising projects. However that is not what we are doing with lease v buy questions - we are simply deciding which is the cheaper of the two. Since borrowing is costing 4% we discount at 4% just to see whether leasing is more or less expensive.
Do watch my free lectures on this where I do explain.
