Leasing and buying are two critical options for managing business assets, each with distinct financial implications. 

Evaluating their impact ensures informed decisions.

For example, a business purchases a machine for fifty thousand dollars and expects annual cash inflows of fifteen thousand dollars over five years. 

After deducting maintenance costs of two thousand dollars per year, the net cash inflow is thirteen thousand dollars annually. 

Over five years, this totals sixty-five thousand dollars in net cash inflows.

When adding the machine’s salvage value of ten thousand dollars, the total cash inflow becomes seventy-five thousand dollars. 

Therefore, the net benefit from the purchase is twenty-five thousand dollars.

Leasing the same machine costs twelve thousand dollars annually, resulting in an outflow of sixty thousand dollars in five years. 

Since leasing does not include maintenance costs or salvage value, the lease payments become the total cash outflow. 

The net benefit from the leased machine is calculated as fifteen thousand dollars.

Businesses must evaluate all these factors to align asset management decisions with operational goals.
