You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $7,120,000, and it would be depreciated straight-line to zero over five years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in five years. You can lease it for $1,900,000 per year for five years. Assume that the tax rate is 35 percent. You can borrow at 11 percent before taxes.
