I$2$C Beams Ltd$.,$ a manufacturer of lighted hockey pucks, is negotlating with the Hat Trick Company to purchase or to lease a machine that produces red$-$lighted pucks. The machine would cost $$140,000.$ In five years the machine would have an estimated salvage value of $$35,000.$ Its useful economic life is nine years.

I$2$C Beams can borrow funds at $9$ percent from its Playoff Bank and has a tax rate of $25$ percent. The capital cost rate on this machine is $30$ percent, and $12C$ Beam's cost of capital is $14$ percent. Lease payments would be at the beginning of each year, and tax savings would occur at the end of each year. Lease payments woutd be $$29,000$ over a five$-$year term.

We note that of all the cash flows, the salvage value has the greatest uncertainty. We recognize this by discounting the salvage value at a higher discount rate$-$the cost of capltal.
