c$-1.$ Suppose the machine's NPV under normal financing is $-$$$3,100.$ Should National Waferonics invest?

c$-2.$ Should it sign the lease?

Answer is complete but not entirely correct.Suppose that National Waferonics has before it a proposal for a four$-$year financial lease.

Year $0$ Year $1$ Year $2$ Year $3$

Lease cash flow $+$$$62,200$$$28,700$$$24,100$$$19,500$

These flows reflect the cost of the machine, depreciation tax shields, and the after$-$tax lease payments. Ignore salvage value. Assume the firm could borrow at $15\%$ and faces a $21\%$ marginal tax rate.
