UserInc. can either purchase a machine for $65,000 or lease it from GoldLease for $10,500 per year (paid at the beginning of each year) for 7years. The machine will have a salvage value of $6,000 at the end of year 7. The CCA rate is 30% and the machine is the only asset in the asset class for User.
