NPV Analysis of Lease vs. Borrowand-Buy
53
NPV of interest and principal repayment cash flows discounted by cost of debt will result in cost of debt Difference in NPV Residual value claim of Amtrak at the end of 25 years Leasing is superior – cheaper by $40 million
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/2008
Discussion Question
What happens to the decision on NPV when Amtrak start making profit and starts claiming any tax shields?
54
IIMI/PGP/Finance II/2008
27
NPV Analysis of Lease vs. Borrowand-Buy
Assumed tax rate: 38%
Tax shields on lease payments are no longer zero Interest and depreciation tax shields are also positive
Discount rate: after tax cost of debt NPV advantage on leasing is eliminated when taxes are assumed Better to borrow and buy Leasing makes sense; when lessor can use tax shields more effectively than lessee
