Jeff & Bezos is a fresh groceries delivery company. The company has access to borrowing funds at a pre-tax rate of 9 % per year. Jeff & Bezos pays income taxes using 23 % tax rate. The company would like to start using high-speed low-altitude drones to deliver grocery purchases directly to residential customers' backyards. By doing so, the company would be saving $2.1 million pre-tax every single year. Jeff & Bezos is contemplating leasing the drones for a lease term that matches the drones' economic life. It would lease them from a different company, Nets & Flicks, that currently owns the required number of the drones. Doing that would have an estimated pre-tax annual cost of $2,176,667. Nets & Flicks' requirement is that the lease payments are made by Jeff & Bezos at the beginning of each year. Instead of leasing the fleet of the drones, Jeff & Bezos is also contemplating buying them, which would cost the company $9.4 million. If the company chooses to buy them, the drones would be losing their economic value following the straight-line depreciation method during their five-year life. The fleet of drones, due to their heavy usage, would have no salvage value at the end.
