To provide a replacement fleet, the company is considering two alternatives: Purchase alternative: The company can purchase the cars, as in the past, and sell the cars after three years of use. Ten cars will be needed, which can be purchased at a discounted price of $30,000 each. If this alternative is accepted, the following costs will be incurred on the fleet as a whole: Annual cost of servicing, taxes, and licensing Repairs, first year Repairs, second year Repairs, third year $4,600 $2,500 $5,000 $7,000 At the end of three years, the fleet could be sold for one-half of the original purchase price, Lease alternative: The company can lease the cars under a three- year lease contract. The lease cost would be $65,000 per year (the first payment due at the end of Year 1). As part of this lease cost, the owner would provide all servicing and repairs, license the cars, and pay all the taxes. Riteway would be required to make a $12,500 security deposit at the beginning of the lease period, which would be refunded when the cars were returned to the owner at the end of the lease contract.
