Questions 9 Devyn Laboratories wants to acquire a $10,000,000 electronic microscope. Devyn can either buy and own the microscope or lease it fir 10 years. If owned, the microscope would be depreciated on a straight-line basis to a book salvage value of $0 over the next 10 years. The actual cash salvage value is expected to be $3,500,000 at the end of 10 years. To purchase, Devyn can borrow the needed funds at a pre-tax rate of 12%. If purchased the microscope, Devyn will incur annual maintenance expenses of $190,000. These expenses would not be incurred if the microscope is leased. The lease rate would be $1,250,000 per year, payable at the end of each year. Devyn's weighted after-tax cost of capital is 15% and marginal tax rate is 40%. Answer the following questions.
