Solution of Test of Leasing Conducted on 22 nd August 2015 Q 1 Determination of Post-tax cost of Leasing in % as per IRR Method: Year Lease Rent Tax shield on Lease Depre- Rent ciation Add nl Tax Shield On Lease Net Cash Out Flows PVF (10%) PV (10%) PVF (11%) PV (11%) Rent 0 1,90,000 ----- ----- ----- 1,90,000 1.000 1,90,000 1.000 1,90,000 1-4 1,90,000 57,000 48,000 9,000 1,81,000 3.170 5,73,770 3.102 5,61,462 5 ----- 57,000 48,000 9,000 (9,000).621 (5,589) 0.594 (5,346) 5 Salvage Value foregone (1,00,000 30%) 70,000.621 43,470 0.594 41,580 8,01,651 7,87,696 NPV at 10% = 8,00,000 8,01,651 = (Rs.1,651) NPV at 11% = 8,00,000 7,87,696 = Rs.12,304 Post-tax Cost of leasing = 10 + -1,651 / - 1,651 12,304 X 1 = 10.12 % Post-tax Cost of borrowing = 10 (1 -.3) = 7% Recommendation: Borrowing alternative in view of lower cost. (7 marks) Note: Q 2 Full cost is required to be written off. Depreciation = 8,00,000 / 5 = Rs.1,60,000. Salvage value available under borrowing alternative is foregone in leasing. Hence, treated as opportunity cost after deducting STCG tax @ 30% as entire cost of the asset has been written off. Let lease rent be Rs. X in third year. Calculation of PV from Lease Rent: Year Lease Tax Net PVF PV Rent (35%) Cash Inflow (10%) 1 3X 1.05X 1.95X.909 1.7726X 2 2X 0.7X 1.30X.826 1.0738X 3 X.35X 0.65X.751 0.4882X 3.3346X PV of total tax shield on depreciation = (600 / 3) X 35 % X PVF (10%, 3) = 70 X 2.487 = Rs.174.09 lakhs 3
Total PV of cash flows from leasing = 3.3346X + 174.09 Lease rent should be so charged that cost of the asset should be recovered. i.e. 600 = 3.3346X + 174.09 i.e. X = Rs.127.72 lakhs. Q 3 Thus, lease rent in three years is Rs.383.16 lakhs, Rs.255.44 lakhs and Rs.127.72 lakhs.
