    Why do we not include interest cost when we are calculating for purchase option?

    Like for example, in my question:
    Machine could be bought for $750k using a bank loan charging annual rate of 7% pa.
    Scrap value after 5 years is 10% of purchase price
    Maintenance cost is $20000 pa.

    Thanks

    The reason we discount is in order to account for the interest.
