Your Firm Is Considering Leasing a New Computer

Your firm is considering leasing a new computer. The lease lasts for 9 years. The lease calls for 10 payments of $1,000 per year with the first payment occurring immediately. The computer would cost $7,650 to buy and would be straight-line depreciated to a zero salvage value over 9 years. The actual salvage value is negligible because of technological obsolescence. The firm can borrow at a rate of 8%. The corporate tax rate is 30%. What would the after-tax cash flow in year 9 be if the asset had a residual value of $500 (ignoring any possible risk differences) ?

A) -$605
B) -$955
C) -$1,455
D) -$1,305
E) None of these.
