The Wildcat Oil Company is trying to decide whether to lease or buy a new computer-assisted drilling system for its oil exploration business. Management has already determined that acquisition of the system has a positive NPV. The system costs $10.8 million and qualifies for a 39% CCA rate. The equipment will have a $989,000 salvage value in 5 years. Wildcats tax rate is 38%, and the firm can borrow at 10.4%. Southtown Leasing Company has offered to lease the drilling equipment to Wildcat for payments of $2.29 million per year. Southtowns policy is to require its lessees to make payments at the start of the year.
