Lease
9y ago#1You have not written whether tax is payable immediately or with a one year delay.
The lease flows are outflows 120,000 per year from 1 to 4.
The tax flows are inflows of 20% x 120,000 = 24,000 a year.
If there is no delay in tax then the tax flows are from 1 to 4
If there is a 1 year delay in tax, then the tax flows are from 2 to 5.
You discount both sets of flows at the cost of borrowing of 10%.
I do suggest that you watch my free lectures on lease and buy. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper F9 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
