JLB Corporation is attempting to determing whether to lease or purchase research equipment. The firm is in the 40% tax
bracket, and its after-tax cost of debt is currently 8%. The terms of the lease and of the purchase are as follows:

Lease- Annual end-of-year lease payments of $25,200 are required over the 3-year life of the lease. All maintenance costs
will be paid by the lessor; insurance and other costs will be borne by the lessee. The lessee will exercise its option to purchase
the asset for $5,000 at termination of the lease.

Purchase- The research equipment costing $60,000, can be finance entirely with a 14% loan requiring annual end-of-year
payments of $25,844 for 3 years. The firm in this case will depreciate the equipment under the MACRS using the 3 year
recovery period. The firm will pay $1,800 per year for a service contract that covers all maintenance costs;insurance
and other costs will be borne by the firm. The firm plans to keep the equipment and use it beyond its 3-year recovery period.
