3. XYZ Ltd is in the business of manufacturing steel utensils
XYZ Ltd is in the business of manufacturing steel utensils. The firm is planning to diversify and add a new product line. The firm either can buy the required machinery or get it on lease.
The machine can be purchased for Rs 15,00,000. It is expected to have a useful life of 5 years with salvage value of Rs 1,00,000 after the expiry of 5 years. The purchase can be financed by 20 per cent loan repayable in 5 equal annual instalments (inclusive of interest) becoming due at the end of each year. Alternatively, the machine can be taken on year-end lease rentals of Rs 4,50,000 for 5 years. Advise the company, which option it should choose. For your exercise, you may assume the following:
(i) The machine will constitute a separate block for depreciation purposes. The company follows written down value method of depreciation, the rate of depreciation being 25 per cent.
(ii) Tax rate is 35 per cent and cost of capital is 18 per cent.
(iii) Lease rents are to be paid at the end of the year.

Solution
PV of Cash Outflows Under Leasing Alternative
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Year-end Lease rent PVIFA at Total PV after taxes % [R (1 – t)] [20%(1 – 0.35)]
[Rs 4,50,000 (1 – 0.35)]
Rs 2,92, Rs 10,28,723

Recommendation: The company is advised to go for leasing as the PV of cash outflows under leasing option is lower than under buy/borrowing alternative.
