You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $5,600,000 and would be depreciated straight-line to zero over five years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in five years. You can lease it for $1,370,000 per year for five years. Assume that the tax rate is 22 percent. You can borrow at 8 percent before taxes. Calculate the NAL. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NAL $ 129,987.25 Should you lease or buy? Buy O Lease
