Your firm is purchasing a new telephone system that will last for five years. You can purchase the system for an upfront cost of $300,000, or you can lease the system from the manufacturer for $6,000 paid at the end of each month. The lease price is offered for a 60-month lease with no early termination-you cannot end the lease early. Your firm can borrow at an interest rate of 7% APR with monthly compounding. Should you purchase the system outright or pay $6,000 per month?

    you should purchase the system outright because it would be cheaper than the lease.

    Explanation:

    because purchase it at $300,000 while lease for 60 months would be 60 X $ 6 000 = $360,000 without the 7% interest rate. With the interest rate he amount would still be higher.
