Joyce purchased the building in which their corporate office is housed on
1/1/21 for $4,700,000. They put down $1,500,000 cash and had to
borrow the remaining amount at 6% over a 20-year term. At the time of
the purchase, they had the option to lease the building. The 20-year lease
would begin on 1/1/21, and called for an immediate payment of
$100,000 and then payments of $450,000 beginning on 12/31/21 for the
first 10 years and payments of $300,000 beginning on 12/31/31 for the
remaining 10 years of the lease. La Fleur had the option to purchase the
building for $1 at the end of the lease. Did the CFO make the right
decision by purchasing the building? Why or why not? Show your work.
