Your company wants to purchase a new network file server for
its wide-area computer network. The server costs RM75,000. It will
be completely obsolete in three years. Your options are to borrow
the money at 10 percent or to lease the machine. If you lease, the
payment will be RM27,000 per year, payable at the end of each of
the next three years. If you buy the servers, you can depreciate it
straightline to zero over three years. The tax rate is 34 percent.
