Lease or Sell Assume a company has equipment with a book value of $100,000 (cost of $140K less A/D of $40K). The Company can sell the equipment through a broker for $90,000 less a 10% commission fee. Alternatively, the Company could lease the equipment to another party for 7 years at a price of $200,000. At the end of the seven years, the equipment is expected to have no residual value (book value of $0). If the equipment is leased, the Company will incur estimated expenses of $5,000 every year for the next five years for maintenance, insurance and taxes
