For a guideline lease, the entire leasepayment is deductible to the lessee.
For a nonguideline lease, only theimputed interest payment is deductible.

classified as eithercapital oroperating.Capital leases must be shown directly
on the lessees balance sheet.
Operating leases, sometimes referredto as off-balance sheet financing, mustbe disclosed in the footnotes.

Leasing is a substitute for debt.As such, leasing uses up a firms debt
capacity.
Assume a firm has a 50/50 targetcapital structure. Half of its assetsare leased. How should the remainingassets be financed?

If the equipment is leased:
Firm could obtain a 4-year leasewhich includes maintenance.
Lease meets IRS guidelines to
expense lease payments.Rental payment would be $280,000
at the beginning of each year.
Assume that Lewis Securities plans
to acquire some new equipmenthaving a 4-year useful life.

Loan rate on equipment = 10%.
Marginal tax rate =40%.3-yearMACRS life.
If company borrows and buys, 4year maintenance contract costs$20,000 at beginning of each year.
Residual value at t = 4: $100,000.

Note the depreciation shield in eachyear equals the depreciation expensetimes the lessees tax rate. For Year 1,
the depreciation shield is $330,000(0.40) = $132,000.
The present value of the cost ofowning cash flows, when discountedat 6%, is -$639,267.

Leasing is similar to debt financing.The cash flows have relatively low risk;
most are fixed by contract.
Therefore, the firms 10% cost of debt isa good candidate.
The tax shield of interest payments
must be recognized, so the discountrate is
10%(1 - T) = 10%(1 - 0.4) = 6.0%.
Why use 6% as the discount rate?

Note that we have assumed thecompany will not continue to usethe asset after the lease expires;
that is, project life is the same asthe term of the lease.

would be required if the lesseeplanned to continue using theequipment after the lease expired?

The discount rate applied to theresidual value inflow (a positive CF)should be increased to account forthe increased risk.
All other cash flows should bediscounted at the original 6% rate.
Assume the RV could be $0 or
$200,000, with an expected value of$100,000. How could this risk bereflected?

If the residual value were includedas an outflow (a negative CF) in thecost of leasing cash flows, the
increased risk would be reflectedby applying a lowerdiscount rate tothe residual value cash flow.
Again, all other cash flows haverelatively low risk, and hence wouldbe discounted at the 6% rate.

What effect would increased
uncertainty about the residual valuehave on the lessees decision?
The lessor owns the equipment whenthe lease expires.
Therefore, residual value risk is
passed from the lessee to the lessor.
Increased residual value risk makesthe lease more attractive to the lessee.

How should the lessor analyze
the lease transaction?
To the lessor, writing the lease is an
investment.
Therefore, the lessor must comparethe return on the lease investment
with the return available onalternative investments of similarrisk.

With lease payments of $280,000, thelessors cash flows would be equal,
but opposite in sign, to the lesseesNAL.
Thus, lessors NPV = -$22,201.
If all inputs are symmetrical, leasingis a zero-sum game.
What are the implications?
Find the lessors NPV if the lease
payment were $280,000.

A cancellation clause would lowerthe risk of the lease to the lessee butraise the lessors risk.
To account for this, the lessor wouldincrease the annual lease payment orelse impose a penalty for earlycancellation.
What impact would a cancellation
clause have on the leases riskinessfrom the lessees standpoint? Fromthe lessors standpoint?

Risk reduction for the lessee.Project life
Residual value
Operating risk
Portfolio risk reduction enableslessor to better bear these risks.
Numerical analyses often indicate that
owning is less costly than leasing.Why, then, is leasing so popular?
