A firm needs some new equipment. The equipment would cost $100,000 if purchased and would be depreciated straight-line over five years. No salvage is expected. Alternatively, the company can lease the equipment for $25,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 40%.

a)      What are the incremental cash flows?

b)      Compute NPV. Assume that the pre-tax cost of debt is 10%.
