The consulting firm that is reviewing his financials has questioned whether Brady's CFO is technically competent enough to be the CFO of a publically traded company, as they believe he made several bad financial decisions. The two situations, which the firm brings to Cam's attention, are as follows: a) Brady purchased the building in which their corporate office is housed on 1/1/15 for $4,600,000. They put down $1,500,000 cash and had to borrow the remaining amount at 5% over a 20-year term. At the time of the purchase, they had the option to lease the building. The 20-year lease would begin on 1/1/15, and called for payments of $450,000 beginning on that date for the first 10 years and payments of $300,000 beginning on 1/1/25 for the remaining 10 years of the lease. La Fleur had the option to purchase the building for $1 on December 31, 2034 at the end of the lease. Did the CFO make the right decision by purchasing the building? Why or why not?
