Answer: If you lease the computer system, the annual interest rate would be 7.08%, which is less than that of the interest rate on a two-year loan, so it would be more cost-effective to lease a computer system than to purchase one.

3 Calculating the present value of a lease with trade-in value

Your client wishes to buy a machine currently leased from your company. On a five-year lease with payments of $200 at the beginning of each month, the machine has a trade-in value of $1,500 with 34 monthly payments remaining. If your company sells the machine at the present value of the lease, discounted at an annual interest rate of 18%, compounded monthly, how much should your company charge for the machine?

PV = ?

I/Y = 18%

. . . . . .

PMT = –$200

N = 34

FV = –$1,500
