Super Sonics Entertainments is considering buying a machine that costs $4.5 million. The machine will be depreciated over four years by the straight-line method and will be worthless at that time. The company can lease the machine with year-end payments of $1.35 million per year for four years. Super Sonics is to provide the maintenance expenses of $250,000 per year under either alternative. Assume Super Sonics' tax rate is 35%, and it can issue bonds at an 8% interest rate
