Kiddy Toy Corporation needs to acquire the use of a machine to be used in its manufacturing process. The machine needed is

manufactured by Lollie Corporation. The machine can be used for $12$ years and then sold for $$26,000$ at the end of its useful life. Lollie

has presented Kiddy with the following options:

Buy machine. The machine could be purchased for $$176,000$ in cash. All maintenance costs, which approximate $$21,000$ per

year, would be paid by Kiddy.

Lease machine. The machine could be leased for a $12-$year period for an annual lease payment of $$41,000$ with the first payment

due immediately. All maintenance costs will be paid for by the Lollie Corporation and the machine will revert back to Lollie at the

end of the $12-$year period.

Required:

Assuming that a $11\%$ interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that all maintenance costs are paid at

the end of each year, determine which option Kiddy should choose. Ignore income tax considerations.

Note: Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount. Use tables, Excel, or a financial calculator. $($FV of $$1,$ PV of $$1,$ FVA
