Emerson Corp. is trying to decide whether to lease or purchase a piece of equipment needed for the next five years. The equipment would cost $507,000 to purchase, and maintenance costs would be $20,700 per year. After five years, Emerson estimates it could sell the equipment for $101,400. If Emerson leases the equipment, it would pay $151,500 each year, which would include all maintenance costs. Emerson's hurdle rate is 13%. (Future Value of $1. Present Value of $1.
