McFadden Company owns equipment with a cost of $475,000 and accumulated depreciation of $280,000 that can be sold for $175,000, less a 7% sales commission. Alternatively, McFadden Company can lease the equipment for four years for a total of $180,000, at the end of which there is no residual value. In addition, the repair, insurance, and property tax expense that would be incurred by McFadden Company on the equipment would total $35,500 over the four-year lease.

    The answer is given below;

    Explanation:

    Alternative 2

    Equipment Cost $475,000

    Accumulated Depreciation ($280,000)

    Written Down value (WDV) * $195,000

    Sale Proceeds on sale $175,000 * (1-7%) ($162,750)

    Net Loss on sales ($32,250)

    Alternative 1

    Lease Revenue $180,000

    *WDV ($195,000)

    Repair and other taxes ($35,500)

    Net loss on lease ($50,500)

    The company should sale the equipment as loss in case of sale is lower than loss in case of lease as worked out above.
