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 $5,200,000 and would be depreciated straight-line to zero over four years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in four years. You can lease it for $1,500,000 per year for four years. Assume the tax rate is 23 percent. Suppose the entire $5,200,000 purchase price of the scanner is borrowed. The rate on the loan is 7 percent and the loan will be repaid in equal installments.
