Sloan Corporation is considering new equipment. The equipment can be purchased from an overseas supplier for $3,040. The freight and installation costs for the equipment are $610. If purchased, annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $420 per year over the four-year useful life of the equipment. Alternatively, Sloan can lease the equipment from a domestic supplier for $1,460 per year for four years, with no additional costs. Prepare a differential analysis dated December 3, to determine whether Sloan should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the machine. (Hint: This is a "lease or buy" decision, which must be analyzed from the perspective of the machine user, as opposed to the machine owner.) If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.

Sloan Corporation

Differential Analysis:

Cost of Alternative 1 (Lease) - $1,460.00

Cost of Alternative 2 (Buy) = $1,332.50

Choose Alternative 2, purchase the equipment, and there will be a cost saving of $127.50 per year.

Explanation:

Buy Decision:

Cost of purchase = $3,040

Freight-in                      610

Total cost               $3,650

Annual equipment cost =     $912.50

Annual Repair cost =              420.00

Total annual cost to buy = $1,332.50

Cost of Lease per year = $1,460

Sloan Corporation's differential analysis of the lease or buy decision shows that it would be more profitable to purchase the equipment than to lease.  With a purchase decision, the cost savings will be $127.50 per year.  By undertaking this differential analysis, Sloan Corporation is able to determine the alternative that will serve its best interest, especially in terms of cost.
