a. What is the incremental annual after-tax cash flow earned from owning vs leasing?

b. What is the principal amount of the loan used to acquire the new office?

c. Using the above scenario, which includes the sale at end of year 10, what is the incremental rate of return (IRR), from owning vs leasing? Use the after-tax cash flow amounts and information from parts a and b above.

QUESTION 28 A company is planning to move and needs to decide if the new office should be owned or leased. The annual cash flows for owning versus leasing are estimated in the following chart. Assume that the operating cash flows will remain the same over the 10-year holding period. If purchased, the company will invest $325,000 in equity and finance the balance with a 5% interest-only_(i.e. non amortizing) loan. The after-tax cash flow from sale of the property, after repayment of the debt, at the end of year 10 is projected to be $850,000.
