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 $5400,000, and it would be depreciated straight-line to zero over five years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in five years. The tax rate is 24 percent and you can borrow at 8 percent before taxes.

what would the lease payment have to be for both the lessor and lessee to be indifferent about the lease?
